Chatter

Downing John: “Array”

What you see on the board

Aircraft
Each aircraft is a biplane in its player's colour, nose pointing the way it is flying.

Ring around it
A brass ring means that pilot has twenty points or more and so gets ace advantages.

Coloured runways
The airfields, each with three runways: α to the left, β towards the centre and γ to the right. The runways are coloured in the pilot's colour. An airfield with faded runways belongs to a pilot who is out of the fight.

Grey patches
Thunderclouds. Flying into one costs damage, and you cannot shoot into or through them.

Darker outer ring
The last row of hexes. Cross it and you leave the playing area and crash.

Solid lines
The route an aircraft flew this turn, with a pale open ring (no fill, rather than the player's colour) at its starting point.

Dotted lines
The bursts fired. A filled dot in the player's colour on the line means it struck home — the pale ring at a starting point and the filled dot of a hit stay two separate things, even when they happen to land on the same spot.

Names by the airfields
Each airfield shows its pilot's name with two numbers, for example 12/16: how many more damage points he can take before he goes down, and how many bursts he has left.

Abbreviations, for reference: A = Straight ahead, L = Bank left, R = Bank right, LS = Sideslip left, RS = Sideslip right, 0 = Hold, IT = Immelmann, SL = Split-S left, SR = Split-S right, LO = Loop, TA = Take off, runway Alpha, TB = Take off, runway Beta, TC = Take off, runway Gamma, T = Roll on, LD = Land. For fire, A, L and R mean the same as for a manoeuvre: ahead, left, right.

How the board stood after turn 3

The three moves have been carried out and the clouds have shifted one hex. This, then, is the position turn 4 began with.

Without flight paths or lines of fire, so you see the positions only.

How the aircraft stood

Pilot	Damage taken	Damage dealt	Damage left	Ammunition	Points	Condition
Rode Baron	0 DP	0 DP	12 of 12	16	+0	in the air
Zwarte Valk	3 DP	0 DP	9 of 12	16	+0	in the air
Lone Wolf	0 DP	3 DP	12 of 12	15	+1	in the air
Kiekendief	0 DP	0 DP	12 of 12	16	+0	in the air
Staartschot	0 DP	0 DP	12 of 12	15	+0	in the air
Downing John	0 DP	0 DP	12 of 12	16	+0	in the air

Damage taken is all damage an aircraft suffered this turn, from hits and from clouds. Damage dealt is the damage a pilot did to other aircraft with their hits; hits on balloons do not count. Repairs are listed separately in the report.

Result
