Was a good idea, going vertical in the F-16 to expend some of that energy and hopefully come back down on the Phantom's tail. Even though the expected outcome was unforeseen. Perhaps doing a turning climb & roll to the right, then doing the same next turn to the opposite direction while diving (a Displacement Roll) would've shortened your horizontal movement? Whatever happens, these spacial and situational decisions change every turn and it's quite enjoyable to ponder them before seeing what comes from the decision. Especially since each turn represents such a short amount of real-time. Thanks for the vid!
BoP definitely features really good spacial situations, and it seems to pay to think of your maneouvres over multiple turns - you seem to lose energy and time if you flip-flop between plans from turn to turn. I think the F16 was optimistic in hoping it could get into an advantageous position in a couple of turns when it was clearly on the defensive. But it was a decent try which levelled things out. Thanks for the comment - I really enjoyed this game!

How much effort on those counters or is there some place that provides those?
Do you mean the aircraft models on the boxes? If so, the game comes with those, and the tilt blocks and altitude markers.
yeah exactly. Didnt know what all it came with. Nice that it comes with all that@@chewiematt9727
