Hi Guys, I am starting a campaign this Saturday and I need to clarify a rule. How do you determine a "Kill" for a pilot outside of the obvious plane explosion...

This is the way I do kills: If a plane explodes the pilot that made the plane explode gets the kill. If a pilot is killed the player keeps it a secret and the...
"Kill" is for the downing of the A/C, regardless of the pilots fate. If the plane goes down on board, last person to score hits is awarded the victory. If ...

Overall I'm in agreement with these rules that have been discussed for claiming victories. However, what about a claim that is made in good faith, verified by...
Thank you everyone for your input. All of your responses have helped clear up the way I will present to the group on Saturday at the start of the Campaign. ...
The answer to this is to make sure you always down the enemy in sight of your own ground troops. ;-) Not a problem for the Germans player as with the...
We play: hit, spin, crash: a kill hit, goes out of the board in flames and smoke, or crash on landing going home, not a kill. Remember The Blue Max! If the...
We had a great 1st game the other night. But it raised a few questions. Appreciate some help/comments. 1. When do you do a spin check? If you take damage in...

Very good thanks, just need to clear up the spin check thing. Troy indicated you checked for spin in the problem phase. I think you said you check as soon as...
When a plane crashes after a spin made by a shoot, does the shooter have a victory ??? Thank you for your answer ! Ltt Michel, squadron "The Storks"...
only if you can confirm that the pilot died during the fall. ie.. the planes crashed behind enemy lines the foot soldiers can confirm that the pilot died. If...
ok.... now I am confused. Kills vs. shoot downs (To me they are the SAME thing) ITs a game folks. Maybe in my my group we just dont get so "caught up in the...
Troy, If that is the way you want to conclude a "Kill" thats great. You'll get no argument from me. Since my group is in a campaign at the moment and the...
I asked this same question (Spin = Victory)to Phil, about 3 years ago. His response was simply, Yes. If the shooter causes a plane to go into a spin, and...
