WINGS OF GLORY DOGFIGHTS
1. Random Deployment: Dice for entry point for each aircraft as follows; 1 - left side within a range ruler of corner, 2 - baseline within a range ruler of left corner, 3 - baseline at least a range ruler but no more than two rulers of left corner, 4 - baseline at least a range ruler but no more than two rulers of right corner, 5 - baseline within a range ruler of right corner, 6 - right side within a range ruler of corner.
2. Attack From the Clouds: each player places two clouds in the playing area and number them 2,3,4,5. A cloud cannot be placed within a range ruler of another cloud. Players dice to determine attacker/defender. Add one (+1) to your roll if your squadron costs less than your opponent’s. Subtract one (-1) if you have two aircraft, (-2) if you have three aircraft. The winner of the roll-off is the Attacker. Defender deploys anywhere on their base edge. The Attacker rolls a die and deploys on the corresponding numbered cloud, a roll of 1 allows the Defender to choose any cloud and a 6 allows the Attacker to choose. The Attacker may deploy their aircraft facing in any direction. Remove clouds after deployment. The Defender must plan a slow straight for their first maneuver card.
3. Attack From the Sun: players dice to determine attacker/defender. Add one (+1) to your roll if your squadron costs less than your opponent’s. Subtract one (-1) if you two aircraft, (-2) if you have three aircraft. The winner of the roll-off is the Attacker. Defender deploys anywhere on their base edge. The Attacker adds one altitude peg to their aircraft base (If the Attacker is on altitude 4 then the Defender must remove one altitude peg) and then deploys anywhere on their base edge. The Defender must plan a slow straight for their first maneuver card.

Game duration: 60 minutes.

Winning the game: the player with the highest score at the end of the game wins.
