Achtung Spitfeuer! Three vs. three !

-
After when I added altitude markers, damage cards I tried to play three vs. three planes.
Typical playing field is size of small table with blanket on it. By the meaning of size - 80 cm per 100 cm will be good size.
 British planes are 3200m same as German. Distance is not far to each other.  I am not used markers with direction of flying and Sun location and alos no clouds. It can be always an option for player.

Here we can see how Spitfire change altitude from 3200m to 3600m. M (Moved) marker help player to locate which plane did move, which not. After when player moves also marker with altitude was changed.
Traverse Left done by "Meser" with altitude change. Spitifre can better climb byt ME-109 can better dive. That gave player some benefits during fight.
Situation after one round. All planes with M (Moved) marker mean that we can start another round. Player must remove all markers from field and start again new one.

British starts this time. Dice 2.4.6 are British. Dice 1,3,5 are German. Traverse Left with altitude change made by first 'Spit".
Meser flew up 400m to 3400m.
Second ME-109E also flew up per same altitude. Straight Right UP 400m
Spitfire tryied to dive from 3200m to 2800m and prepare to attack.
Second Spitifire attacked Me-109 from below - which allow him to attack on such short distance and avoid collision. UP marker mean that his next move must be done with climb. When both planes attack from front on different altitude - it is possible to make that move. If planes are on same altitude - attack can be performed from tail or sides.


Damage cards and dice are used to select number of card. Selected card number six was SHOOT DOWN - first ME-109 has been destroyed.
Each time when player will select card - SHOOT DOWN or HIT he can add ACE card to any location. There are 15+ damage cards and on beginning only one is SHOOT DOWN and three card with HIT and altitude lost. Each time when player will pick damage cards with HIT he can add ACE card and increase chances to hit another plane.
Second ME-109 perform counter attack |Spitfire from different altitude. Player can attack his oponent with 200 m difference in altitude with Marker UP or DOWN selection to remember his next move.


Selected card number four from damage card is M (Missed) and Spitfire can do Any Move Straight,
This time British starts round. Spitfire flew with traverse UP 400m from 2800m to 3200m

ME-109 has batter range to shoot because of 20mm canon. And found way to aim Spitfire.
Spitfire was hit and must lost altitude 600m. German player added ACE card to damage cards.
And Spitfire lost his altitide from 3600m to 3000m with Traverse Straight Down.

Situation after round. Two German vs. three British planes.
Sharp Right Turn with Altiude lost made by Spitfire.
Traverse Right Down 200m made by Meser.
Second Meser flew Straight Down to 3400m
After Sharp Left Turn Spitfire attacked Meser from behind with 3400m altitude. Since enemy is on left and above, next move must ne done UP, LEFT 200m.
View from top how looks visibility for Spitfire.
And he was HIT and lost 1600m altitude. Another ACE card is added.
And ME-109 lost 1600m (he flew Straight Down).
British starts (dice 2,4,6 - British starts, 1,3,5 - German. Spitfire made Sharp Turn Right

















Card No 4 selected. Spitfire missed and Meser run any move right.
And that looks move done.
Because German plane move first he make turn right and attack Spitfire with right turn move. But he missed too and Spitfire can run away.




Airplane hit with lost altitude. Another Ace card will be added to British damage cards.
And German Airplane lost altitude.





Meser flew Straight Right and change altitude.
Spitfire did Left Turn with altitude change.
Spitfire made Turn Right with altitude change.
ME-109 is trying to make right turn with altitude change.
Spitfire flew Straight Right without altitude change.
Selected card number six was ACE, Shoot down
Last ME-109 was shoot down by Spitfire.

Flying Circus. Update

Hello again... Slowly changing some tokens to make that game simple. On FB I have group where I published more details about game, rules, etc... https://www.facebook.com/groups/566697750876378/?ref=share_group_link What was changed: 1. Simple altitude rules. Planes are mounted on stand with stick (I found up to 19.5 cm long) which gave me 10 different altitude levels. I started from 100m next stick was 300m up 2100. Between that I added only three altitude tokens and add +50 or +100 or 150m. So plane can move with one stick ( for instance 1500m and adding yellow token +100m it fly at 1600m.  Stands are simple picture of airplane model from top view with removed background printed on cardboard with size in 1:144 scale. Stand size allow to have high enough stick for planes.  Also I have added short S-stand (to fly straight) and T-turn stand -  used when airplane will perform any turns).  One plane kit has: stand, altitude sticks, two additionally stands called S-Stand (to fly straight) a...

Flying Circus Game.

In that part I would like to present my new Flying Consoles, stands and altitude sticks. Main reason is to minimize amount of game elements and also provide correct location of plane after move. Flying console has cut edges in each flying position with shape or size taken from stand dimension. Instead 11 sticks with length up to 20 cm I designed 3.5 cm mounts with so they can be joined together and place airplane on altitude from 100m to 2050m. If you have 10 planes you not need to have separate box with 100 sticks.. But still.. sticks are simple way to create altitude sticks instead short ones.. Also I have added ammunition counters so this time each attack depend on distance and side will cost player more or less rounds of ammo. Stand is 3.5 cm x 3.5 cm two cardboards (1.5mm) with four coins between. That's create solid and heavy platform so plane will not fall down. On top of stand I added picture of that plane from top view so player know which plane it is from bottom to top. S...

Panzer platoon

Using "flat" version of my tanks in scale 1:100 I decided to use platoon formation for German and Alliance tanks. Each platoon has Command Tank (CT) and two tanks from 1st section (1st) and 2nd section (2nd).  Summary - 5 tanks per platoon plus one SPG (STUG.III/IV) and Hellcat as platoon support.  They are controlled with 6c dice where each selection allow to control all tanks or only 1st or 2nd section.  Options are: One: Command tank - CT - player can move all tanks within Line Of Sight range. Those who are not in commander range, can move with Initiative option. Command tank can move w/o any limitation. Each side will be have maximum 15 Initiative tokens, which can be used by tank who is out of command range. That IT (Initiative Token) can be lost when player throw dice and result will be less than four or three (depend from scenario). Two: 1ST section tanks only - 1ST - that include support tank (SPG or Hellcat). Three: 2 ND section tanks only. Four: Initiative - IT2 - p...
