I am in a game where I am a Bristol and a player is directly behind me shooting at me. There is another player directly behind him who according to the rules I am allowed to shoot at. However, even though he has a plane between him and me it seems unfair that I have a clear line of fire on him but he is blocked from shooting at me. Just an interesting situation. It is game 194515.


I always looked at it as GDW's attempt to introduce a little variance in 'altitude' to the game. I felt they viewed the closer enemy slightly below your line of flight, where if you shot at him you blasted your own tail; and the further enemy being slightly above your line of flight where you can reach him without 'friendly fire damage'. Just my humble interpertation from many years ago.
