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).

And in the original game, if you include altitudes, you have to fly "towards" the altitude you shoot at, EXCEPT WHEN FIRING SHORT BURST..so when enemy is flying Very High, and you can only go High, if you fire medium or long, next time you have to "try" to rise, wich will make you Stall on a forward movement..can be quite deadly...
