    You can only turn once (unless you play the Tight Turn Card).
    So it's turn at the end of moving up to 45 degrees OR burn advantage to turn up to 180 degrees at any point, NOT both.
    Also your aircraft that started the game in the cloud can't be Advantaged (or Disadvantaged) so should have started the game at Neutral.
    And the Trait Cards (Tight Turn, Robust, etc) can be used once per TURN, NOT per GAME. So you can play it every turn with all your aircraft.
    To tail an enemy aircraft your front arrow must line up exactly on the peg of the enemy aircraft.

    If you use Maneuver as your Pilot Action, you don't get the 45-degree turn at the end of your movement. Believe it's clarified in the FAQ.

    @pantherjoseph 2 года назад +4

    I only just started watching this but if this game is based off of historical fact, that Zero is probably going to win unless that Wildcat gets a lucky early shot in or it’s already undergone the engine upgrade and is really a Hellcat.

    • @cp1cupcake
      @cp1cupcake 2 года назад +1

      Or using the Thach Weave before the Japanese figured out a counter. Or running the Zeroes out of ammo.

    • @zorkwhouse8125
      @zorkwhouse8125 2 года назад

      Yeah, the Wildcats were tanky but definitely wouldn't be winning a turning fight with a zero. the smartest thing for the American planes at the beginning here (irl) would have been to dive for the water and gun it to out run the Zeroes, break contact and escape. (I guess unless the Wildcats started out a good bit above the Zeroes, in which case instead of running right away they could have a chance to dive on them and try and catch them before they could react - and if its no good you just keep diving and then run.) But none of that would make a particularly fun battle report. hehe ;-)

      It is a fun game and I had my issues with it at first but the more I played the more it was fun to get into
      I could do large squadron battles quickly and easily and gets similar historical outcomes
      My main game of course is a 1/72 scale game called Mustangs & Messershmitts very intricate very detailed very aviation centric
      if you will take a look at my channel for some of the models and some of the gameplay of this beautiful game.
