As we are still in lock down, I have been reading the Wings of War Flight of the Giants instructions (using the last resort read the instructions rule). I found this particularly interesting and realised that although I have a balsa Friedrichshafen G.III we have never played this plane according to the airplane management card. The booklet says that there is a man in what would normally be the co pilots seat who can move to man the unmanned rear gun. To start with he has a gun that can fire in a 90 degree arc to the forward right hand side. So, to move him you take his forward gun out of the action (until he returns) then for 3 movement cards he is deemed to be crawling to the rear. The rear gun can fire as long he stays there but if he crawls back then it is considered to be unmanned. As I get older I am frequently amazed by the amount of stuff I do not know
Has anyone else applied this "shared gun position" rule in their games? I guess it would be the same as having one man for two waist guns but from front gunner to rear gunner seems a bit different.
