Dear Ashtar,
I've changed the way the victory is assigned with your indication. When counting the plane still in game now the server sum up the planes on the board and the planes retired with 'Honor' (i.e. without fuel or without engine). Planes retired with honor but in the wrong side of the map are still counted in game, but consider that they halve thier score.
Well, this tournament system seems cool, most of all because it's easy, auto-managed, quick and based on random scenarios/planes.
My two eurocents on the rules ...
(1) A player retires with "honour" if at least one of the following applies:
less than 3 fuel
engine destroyed
no machineguns left
(2) A player retires with honour ONLY if he/she retires from the right side of the map
(3) If a player retires from the wrong side of the map shall be counted as shotdown.
(4) If a player retires from the right side of the map without the "honour" condition, he/she must be penalized for two reason:
avoid quick shotdowns and retirements
give reward to the enemies that were close to destroy the retired plane.
bye
