Monoplanes can not attack fighters in flight, that is true and it was intended to be so.

For the early planes of WW1 were light scout planes and the first dogfights used to be fought with a pistol or a light carbine by the co-pilot. Fot those reasons you shall NOT change the rules as these facts were intended.

Oops!

Sorry old boy........

And we will play this playtest with the old version then, no panic!

I think you'll all agree that this is most inapropiate.
Most propably Jim forgot to put the "fighter" flag on them.

Well, I will reconsider all thses things for the major update on the game, scheduled around X-mas. For that I would know as much as possible about bugs, gameplay problems, units which should be included/excluded, etc.

@ all: Keep those comments coming but please game on, Gentlemen that we could discover even more of those facts.

@ all Playtesters: I propose that it is allowed to give units via the Diplomacy Screens to other nations but Tech trading is forbidden. I would also propose a Gentlemen´s Agreement that if someone has received a unique tech from another civ you should not use the possibility of building the unit.

If we all agree on this I would say we play on (and you could be looking forward to the update .....)

Well, actually I don't know about the Russians, but the Italians had bombers. If they produced them themselves is something else I do not know. But if you know it ...

[Nilat]

I think it would be realistic if England could give the italians, americans and the russians their bombers and the tech, cause is it impossible in reality not to give a nation blueprints of a plane?

[academia]

mmm... perhaps you could include a specific unit for the americans...

Any more info?

The Russians and Bombers? Come on. They were happy enough when their double-decker so-called fighters were able to stay in the air longer than a few seconds. Yes they experimented like the other nations but weren’t even able to produce a good fighter and from bombers they could only dream.

Well ... it would make the scen more fair I'd say. Actually the Italians and Russians had bombers, too, in WW1.

[jim panse]

Hmmmmm, do you all think a generic bomber would be useful?
