i think most people are aware of my opinion on "exiting honourably"

in my opinion...exiting the board when there are enemies still present is equivalent to being shot down...call it forced down...forced to flee... whatever...the victory goes to the other side

its part of the rules however so we have to live with it...though just because we game it that way doesnt mean it happened

Jo obviously fought well...shooting down one enemy aircraft after a long fight and retreated in the face of some pretty long odds...i dont think anyone has a right to carp about that...unless, Wetty, you were hoping to pick up a cheap kill...

in a real world situation...he is out of the war... after being forced down behind the enemy line...so he will have a lot to talk about in the POW camp

in the gaming world...he has the kill and the points
so he has the win...

get over it and begin the next game



OK, since everyone is confused by this some clarification is in order. Trsut me, Johan did nothing brave. That would be out of character for him anyway.

He was leaving down 3 planes to one. Greif and I began to get near empty on fuel and turned around for home at the battle was probably over anyway. But guess what!!!!! Johan, even low on fuel, is ever on the look out for a cheap kill as he has proved countless time so he turns around! He uses his very last fuel points to kill Greif to take the points lead right near the German border. Just enough point lead that if you halve his points he still wins. And then....THEN exits. Brave enough to take a cheap kill against fueless planes but not brave enough to stick around for a fight.

Of course he is well in his rights to do this but to go that far out of your way for a cheap win is completely pathetic in my book. Its not chess, he was after points. I might expect that out of a kid who just signed up but he plays a lot around here.



Well everyone has an opinion, I don't see what was so cheap about him hanging around to get a kill. Managing your fuel is afterall, part of the game. Though its a game and ostensibly played for "fun", people still generally try to win the games they join. He did what he had to in order to win. His inexplicable behavior in that one game will never make sense to those of us there to see it, but I think this is much ado about nothing.
