    1. How many BoB aircraft you can bring for this game. (ME109, Spitfire, Hurricane, Stuka, HE 111, JU 88, ME110 etc) Adolf Galland Me-109 obtained very reasonably, lol

    The main reason I joined up and play this game is for the WW1 period. I understand we now have a WW2 version and thoroughly endorse that BOB should be recognised but my interest is in WW1 gameplay only im afraid.

    Either way, game sorted. Plenty of aircraft. Mat prepared. Targets aplenty. The call will go out for the Gallant Few and the Horde soon. (and yes Chris if you want to play your whirlwind you may).

    Ok, up to now we have enough for the following:

    RAF 6-8 players flying 1 aircraft each: (62 fighters)
    34 Spitfires (that's 30-31 re-spawns. When there gone there gone)
    28 Hurricanes (that's 24-25 re-spawns. When there gone there gone)

    V's

    Luftwaffe the rest flying 2 ME109 or 1 ME110 aircraft each: (48 fighters and 45 bombers)
    35 ME 109's (that's roughly 25 re-spawns. When there gone there gone)
    13 ME 110's (that's roughly 11 re-spawns. When there gone there gone)

    30 Ju 87's (flying as 2 separate squadrons of 15 on movement trays)
    15 HE 111's (flying as 1 squadron of 15 on movement trays)

    3 Luftwaffe pilots will be designated squadron movers at the start.
    Each time a Luftwaffe ME109 or ME110 player is shot down they take over as a squadron mover throughout the game.
    ME109/110 re-spawns will be within 1 ruler of rear HE111 or JU87 if no HE's are still flying.

    Bombers firing:
    I will work out some very simple rules for firing so no massed MG fire from bombers on single targets!

    Altitude:
    Single engine and heavy fighters climb or dive 2 pegs.
    HE111 no climb or dive (can only dive out of combat if 50+ damage. drop bombs and head for the deck and turn for France.)
    JU87's will fly at same altitude until near target then form up in line and vertical dive on target losing 2 pegs per dive card or 1 peg if shallow dive until bombs dropped.

    Movement:
    Single card movement.

    Damage:
    My bags with most of the 0 taken out!

    Any other rules we will make them up on the day and have fun doing so.

    Potentially 24+ players, 45 aircraft umpire controlled leaves 55 to make 100....um that's 2.something aircraft/player.
    Can be done, can be done. Just need a bigger control board!

    The initial idea is turning into a real game Neil. Your work can not go without a special reward
    But are we really supposed to command more than 1 kite apiece?

    Playing more than 1 kite is just an idea. Players can control as few as they are comfortable with. Remember this is your game (all players) not mine.

    But I think we should have a wives wing........
