I was thinking of how to improve the game, when I remembered the phrase "Beware of the Hun in the Sun" One of the most famous phrases in aviation history, and a lesson which is as valid for today’s military pilots as it was in the First World War. A cunning fighter pilot will always try to use the sun to blind his opponent,
So I came up with a new rule, you place on the board (as a result of a dice throw, 1 North 2 West etc) a model of the Sun on a stand, and if you attack an enemy plane with the Sun at your back, your opponent get's two extra hits on his machine, the rationale behind the "bonus hits" is a pilot would have more real time to draw a bead on his target. Opinions please.
