Why would you do a short burst??? I realise youplay.it have rolled the normal medium bonuses from the boardgame into the combat value chart, but I can't understand why anyone would want to do a short burst. If perhaps, your guns jammed on a 6 with a medium burst then I could understand it. But in the rules there is no negative effect from either a short or medium burst - what's the point of doing a short burst?


Lewis guns (not implemented on youplay) have ammo. Each load has 5 "slots": you use 1 for a short burst, 2 for a medium, 3 for a long. When the slots are exhausted, you need to fly an S to reload.

Particularly if you are on a Bristol, which in a crowded scenario gets to shoot very often, you may want to use short bursts (I often do when playing f2f).

Not to mention the famous "medumu burst" on a SE5a with only 1 slot left on the lewis, done by firing a short with the lewis and a long with the vickers.

BTW, on table, we used to check for jam/unjam separately for each gun on twin-gun aircraft. I think it is more correct, what about it?

And, while we're at it, what about separate burst length for pilot and observer on two-seaters? And what happens on those with jams?

And... (they carry him away)
