Escape
Eventually, because his plane has suffered severe damage, is about to run out of fuel, or has run out already, a player may wish to escape from combat and head back to the aerodrome.
1. However if you are auto-moving or decide you have a big enough lead then you can leave any time you want.
A player is considered to have escaped if his plane flies off the edge of the playing surface behind his side's start line. (An aircraft may not fly off the edge anywhere else.)
Should a player leave the edge anywhere else then their points will be halved.
Honor demands that a player not attempt to escape until he has a good reason for doing so.
Please see Point 1. above, winning by running away is considered a good reason for escaping.
The game is over once all aircraft of one side have been shot down or have escaped.
I believe that this should be the way the rules are written for the game here as we are not using the original rules.
And yes you are quite correct, I am not happy with the situation at the moment one little bit. |
