    Morning, Dave.

    This is the first time we meet with planes in the skies.

    You owe me beer if I send your Camel down to earth...

    Turn 2-1: Second turn, second shooting

    Teaticket outflanks the battle. Graugans sense a threat on his right and pulls his plane up, camelbeagel turns right beneath Graugans and fires a burst in Sauerkrauts direction. Flash rolls right to get out of Marechallannes fire, but receives still some hits.

    Turn 2-2: Rolling, Turning, Diving ... um ... Rising

    Graugans and Teaticket start with the circling. Sauerkraut pulls up to get rid of camelbeagel, who turns left after realising, that he can't compete with the Fokkers climb rate. Marechallannes pulls up and watch flash from above, who is heading north to the heat of the battle.

    Turn 2-3: 3, 2, 1, Immelmonn?

    Graugans, Marechallannes and Sauerkraut accumulate speed while leaving the center of the battle. Teaticket gains height, to catch up with the Fokkers. Camelbeagel makes a hard turn to get behind Sauerkraut.

    Graugans push his plane down into a Split-S. Marechallannes makes a hard right turn. Sauerkraut gains further altitude and shoots on camelbeagel from above, who fires back while executing a left side slip. Teaticket and flash are repositioning their planes, to get a shot on the Krauts.

    Marechallannes extends his right turn into a full 180°. Graugans gun the engine while his plane is going out of the dive. Teaticket has Sauerkraut in his crosshair, but Sauerkraut is out of range. Flash drives his engine to the limit, to shake off Sauerkrauts Triplane. Camelbeagel flies past Sauerkraut to make another attack run.

    Graugans breaks to save his fuselage. Marechallannes rolls right to get back into the action. Flash turns left, but the situation is getting worse. Sauerkraut is tailing him, now. Teaticket pulls up to set pressure on the Fokkers. Camelbeagel flies out of the battle to get a better view for potential targets.

    Should be straight forward - Andy has submitted his moves -
    Flo tells him what my first move is and asks him if he wants to shuffle the 3 cards he has selected.
    Flo makes the adjustment, if any.
    If still in the tailing pos at the start of the next movement phase same happens, Andy can shuffle the order of the two remaining cards.
    Moves on the way

    The rules and the process is clear. I am just interested, how the result is. How easy can the tailing be maintained by the pursuer?

    Sauerkraut gets closer on flash, while flash gets rid of his pursuer through a sudden hard right turn, which let his Camel's fuselage

    Yes definitely helped, it meant I could cover you turning either left or right, knowing I could shuffle my manoeuvres and pretty much guaranteed me one shot. It has left me rather close to the table edge though.

    Good to know it worked - it's always tricky to decide which way to go when you get in that close so covering all bets is the way to go.

    Just a short clarification on jammed guns. Some players and spectators were wondering why there are no jammed guns, yet. I decided for online games via PM or a Messenger to not reveal a jammed gun. In reality a jammed gun isn't easy to recognise in the heat of the battle. Please excuse, that I don't have mentioned that in the rules in the first post.

    However, it should be easy to identify a player who has a damaged engine or a jammed gun.
