So the idea is to shoot down the bristol without allowing him to shoot anyone else down and gain points? Also, what is a superformation, and how do you stay in formation when flying? Experience? Long time knowing those you play with? Luck?
Exactly. He must get 1 kill maximum.
Concerning formation, what a "formation" is, to start with: a group of planes tailing each other.
A "superformation" is a formation <i>made of formations</i>. E.G.
Al is leader of fomation #1, Bob, his wingman, flies at 4 o'clock, 1 hex far. Formation #2 is at 8 o'clock, 2 hexes apart, with Chuck and Dave in the same roles. Formation #3, Ed and Frank, is specular.
So, Chuck and Ed tail Al, Bob tails Al, Dave tails Chuck, Frank tails Ed.
How to "stay in formation"? Read tail of leader, guess his possible moves and move as to find yourself again tailing him. This is lesson #1. 
BTW, thank you, really. You're making me write down and arrange the matter. I think I'll make a FAQ out of it. |
