Aha!! Ok, thanks Regis, yes they sure did.
assuming the game was a fighter sweep of some sort...so the side that retreated has been swept from the sky...and cannot possibly score a victory of ANY sort
you CANNOT achieve air superiority by shooting down one aircraft and running away...this whole retiring with honour business is just nonsense
Actually, a fighter sweep that kills an enemy and gets away is a win. Combat usually boils down to attrition. Killing an enemy and flying away may not give you superiority that day but over time it will. I guess it all depends on what the immediate objective is.
