It seems that every book I have read about aircraft combat, has the same favorite attack in it. Diving in out of the sun, or having the sun at your tail so that the opposing aircraft have to look at the sun.
So I had a thought today, Cut a 4 inch (10cm) circle out of yellow paper, felt, craft foam, or foam core board with a red center dot on it. Place the Sun on one of the short sides of the game table (east and west) depending on what time of day it is supposed to be or along one long side (south) for mid-day. If a plane falls within a line of sight from a firing aircraft to the center dot of the sun, the attacking pilot/observer is at a disadvantage for firing.
That being outlined, what would be best rule for a firing disadvantage? One of the objectives of this site to toss around ideas and opinions, and since I know there are plenty of both here, let's here some on this subject.
