Paper Airplane - Pair of Spitfires vs. pair of Me-109E

Image
During some business trip I found some time to check how is to play two planes against two planes. I played myself because I am looking for mechanism for single and multi player mode. So I have table (not so big), six position markers. German start from Altitude 6 and position 3 as start point. British start from position 6 from Altitude 3. Sun was located on position 4. German decide to fly straight. I used Fly Console with S (Straight) markers and move plane or straight or with small traverse left or right follow S marker on Fly Console. Pair of Spitfires decided to fly in Right Traverse ( TR mark). So far they can't change altitude during L/R Traverse but I am thinking about that option so next time planes will be able to dive or claim up  with some traverse. One extra maneuver.   First move of Spitfire done.  Without changing altitude. Second Spitfire flew straight and did one Altitude UP.  Here you can see how they move Straight UP w...

Paper Airplanes - Spitfire vs. ME-109.

Welcome back Let me present my new (old concept) game with WW2, scale 1:144 paper airplanes. My German and British fleet has four Supermarine Spitfire planes and four ME-109. All planes are on 3 x 3 cm stand with altitude sticks from one to seven. Both Airplanes has special movement plates with all maneuvers include dive, claim up, turn left and right. I decide to made Spitfire 15% faster. Also Spitfire can better turn right then German ME-109, but summary both planes are very similar. So plane can't dive and turn same time. ME-109 can faster dive vs. Spitfire and has little longer firing range. Flight Console for Spitfire and ME-109. S - Fly Straight UP - Fly up DN - Fly Down L - Turn Left (L) R - Turn Right (R) TL - Traverse left (Straight with move left side) TR - Traverse Right Spitfire can Turn Right better than ME-109 ME-109 can dive/claim maximum two altitude, but Spitfire can dive only one (carburetor engine didn't allow Spitfire...
