Q1. Pilot grazed: must do slower maneuver next turn. I'm flying my fantastic Albatros D.III and while stalling (1S1) I receive this special damage. I cannot do another speed 1 maneuver because the are all stalls. What will I do ? Can I make a speed 2 move ? Will I crash ?
A1. We usually play with altitude, so its covered. Without altitude, I will have to think of a good solution. Not use to playing without altitude.
Q2. Rudder jams: must do right/left maneuvers for next 3 turns. What if I get 2 special damages of this kind one on the left and the other on the right ? If I get them in the same turn I'll just ignore one of them, but what if I get them in different turns ? Will the last override the previous ?
A2. According to rules, when pulling more than one rudder jam, you take the damage from all, but only the effect of the first one pulled takes affect. For example, if a player pulls two rudder james (one left and one right) the player still takes the two tail hits from both, but only the first one pulled (right or left) goes into effect for the rudder jam.
Q2B. Pilot grazed: must do straight maneuver next turn. With the rudder jammed I get this damage that is incompatible with the previous. Will I ignore it ? (If the pilot is grazed he's not able to unjam the rudder, so the rudder remain jammed).
A2B. With a rudder jam, the pilot must still plot a right maneuver. This is one of those small differences in the rules as nothing is perfect.
Q3. Pilot Killed
In the original game there is 1 Blue 'Pilot killed' and 2 Red 'Pilot killed' + 1 Fuel tank hit: EXPLODE! Said that we all do not want the Blue 'Pilot killed', what about the others ?
A3. The BLUE "Pilot Killed" is actually an optional chit. Most groups almost never use it. Other groups tend to replace it with another chit that says "Spin" on the RED side and "No Climb 2T" on the BLUE side. "Spin" means the plane goes into an automatic spin, and "No Climb 2T" means the plane can not climb for two turns.
Q4. Tailing smoking planes
It is possible to tail someone that is smoking ?
A4. Yes. But planes that are smoking cannot tail others. According to rules.
Side note, when playing those flight sims, I find it much easier to tail a plane that is smoking.
