Am I right in thinking that a Halberstadt/Bristol which loses its front gun, and has its observer killed but still has its (non functional) rear gun, is not able to retire with honour? (unless they have no engine/almost no fuel)

It seems like a bug/odd ruling given that they can't shoot back.

It might be tough hanging around waiting for your rear gun to be shot off so you can retire.

Interesting question; I have no idea on that as I don't fly two seaters much.

In any case, I rarely give the formal rules of retiring with honor much thought; if I feel the situation warrants fleeing to fight another day, I'll leave, regardless of fuel and/or damage status.

markrendl
A dead observer is the same as a gun destroyed and so it would be both an honorable and wise retreat.



I am still trying to 'win' my first league so thought the points might matter at some point - unlikely I'd ever end in the situation I thought. But I shall give it a go in this game http://www.youplay.it/play/bm_GameMove.asp?GameID=704685 (just a prescient question as it turned out).
Anyway if you're correct markrendl then the rules for the league need updating slightly.
