The rules state that if you leave the map without honour - bugging out of the side rather than trying to get to your baseline - will halve your points.

If you leave over your own baseline you have left with honour and reduce the victory conditions should your opponents’ win as you are deemed to still be on the playing area.

Does a person leaving without honour also reduce the victory conditions?

If so that's a cheat because what you're doing is ensuring your opponents can't get maximum points for the victory and it gives you a better chance to win the league. (yes, I agree, people who have a stuck rudder don't have any option but that shouldn't affect victory conditions in their favour - their plane is uncontrollable)

You may gather I don't know the answer but have found a number of opponents doing this recently and am wondering why they are choosing this method of leaving the game.

If you leave without honor, you count as lost for victory purposes. However, you do not suffer the league victory point penalty for getting shot down, and your opponent loses the chance to gain a victory point from your demise.

Some refuse to do this; others routinely do so. It has been debated at length on more than one occasion in the past.

All's fair in love and war, so best get used to it.


So basically you're saying people are cheating and I should accept it?

That's never going to happen.

You either play the game honourably or expect to be called out for it. A cheat is a cheat and I will say so until I die. That's the problem of being brought up a gentleman, you believe that honour, enjoying and playing in the spirit of the game is more important than winning.

I may be a dying breed but sadly people who cheat are on the increase. If everyone accepts cheating then what's the point in playing? You may as well say that the cheats have won.

Would it be possible to add a box where you exclude people from joining a league so people who are known cheats can be prevented from spoiling a league in future?
