I just finished a scenario of Clash of Titans - 2 players with me playing the Halberstadt CL Iia. I guess I don't understand how obserevers work. The game lasted 17 turns of which I was getting the tailing bonus the last 10 turns or so. Most of the time I was directly behind and getting NO damage on his plane at all while he was blowing the crud out of me. On the last turn I got behind him again but offset 1 hex... it seemed perfect. No damage to him but I got butchered with I think 12 points of damage myself and was destroyed.
What does one have to do to win this thing??? Let the guy get on my tail so I can shoot him from behind???? Seems bizarre to allow that to happen. I seemed to be in the perfect place time and time again but I miss and he rips me.

http://youplay.it/play/bm_GameMove.asp?full=yes&GameID=375512I see that the last shot you had stalled (gave hime a +3 and his observer had shot at you the previous turn +1 and it was range 1....and he had stability A....and he rolled a 5. That was a dream shot. All those +'s move the damage columns up, they don't modify the dice rolls.
Also, an observer's guns fire in an cone shape into the hexes behind your plane (except for the 1 hex directly behind the tail). Front guns fire only into the three hexes directly in front of the plane.
Hmmm, I played a test game afterwards against myself to see damage results with these two planes. Just moving 1 or two hexes with my Halberstadt on his tail the whole time. 1 hex away, directly behind I could hold my own. 1 hex away, offset one hex I get butchered and was shot down again. Seems a bit unbalanced in favor of observers.
