Jimbo & Wraith commit mutual Hari Kari I add pounds of lead to Jimbo's untimely end and the poor departed Wraith (fitting name by the way ) gets the victory!!! Even though I am the only one left alive after a great fight but I can't claim to have won!!!!



The game is played on a points system.

In that format it would be like saying that 2 teams play a game of soccer, A & B. Team A scores 2 goals to 1 over team B. The goalscorers for team A leave the game through injury and team B wins 1-0? I think not


Oh I fully realize how the scoring system works and have no problem with it (although maybe a 5/10pt bonus for anyone still flying at the end of the game would seem to make sense), it's just I could picture myself landing back at the airfield and being asked how the sortie went and having to reply "Went well we shot down the enemy, Wraith didn't make it but tell his wife and family he beat me by a point


I fully understand your sentiment and I have always been a big fan of Blue Max being a team game as far as retaining the scoring only for determining the winner were at least one plane of each side is still airbourne at the end (i.e. last man standing).

That's why we have league system. Single game's win/loss is sometimes strange with point system. But league is more 'fair' in this sense.

Enjoy scoring 'fun'

I love the league system with the scoring system but for players that that want a casual non league game it can seem a little harsh.. maybe we need to make players more aware of the "league option"..and a little less bewildered. Plus we could do with more donations..
