thanks Burke...i actually mentioned the idea of damage being valued in the real war

my point remains...in the game as it is designed...
there were no points awarded for turns of flying...or shots taken...or damage down...only for shooting down the plane

thats how the points should be scored here


OK. I surrender.
I tried to explain the difference between real war and games, but I failed.
Hereby, I accept my defeat.
Maybe, I used the wrong language. Next time, I'll write in Swahili.
Until then, jambo sane.


You made some very excellent points Blackstar. I play here for fun and comradeship, and think the rules make for a fun challenge. I served two tours of duty in Afghanistan as a member of a KSK unit. There was much ugliness there that would not be so fun here.

I think there will always be much debate about rules and how people interpet what is both correct and fair when using them.

For me that is part of what makes this site interesting. And it is a safe way to relax!


I volunteered in the Army, and spent many months in the Army Sanity Corps, some of them in a military hospital. I never saw a war, but I saw soldiers injured in war. Wounds by guns, grenades, flamethrowers too. Something you have to see to believe.
A wise man once wrote: "Soldiers hate war much more than other people. Because they really know what it is."
Nice to know that someone understands.

I did 4 years of USMC reserve. One of the things I value most about it is the memory or how gung ho myself and the rest of the unit was to go to Berut when the Marine barracks was bombed in '83? To know that our troops now have that same spirit is very heartening. I am also eternally great full that I never saw combat. I was so ready for it then, and I am so happy that I am not carrying that stress with me now. A big thank you to all who have served, especially combat vets, regardless of which nation you served.

It is a bit funny how enjoyable a war simulation or game is compared to the real thing. It is also a kick to see how into we can get, discussing a very simple game. (simple but near perfect)
