In the first edition the board was shaped like a hex, truncated on the left and right side. The start lines for the two sides are only 7 hexes apart and the grain ran from the Allied to the German side.


Just a last doubt: how, on such a small map, were games, say, 4 vs 4? Weren't they, especially with fast planes, sort of a mess?


Well, we actually played most playtest games with4 to 8 on a side. It was exciting. We had one tester who insisted on flying the SPAD and kept it at 5, flying the outside hexes until he saw someone catch fire or start smoking, then he would make a slash and run attack hoping to nail an already damaged plane. It worked for him. On the other hand, I nailed him good one night by flying the DrI at a speed of 1 hex as if it was out of fuel. He came sailing in for a one hex tail shot and I stalled, so wound up in the same hex facing the same way at a MUCH slower speed. Blew his tail off. He never came after me when I was out of fuel again.
