I'd say One for Jim for the rulebook and The Few on the scenario
book.
(Seen my pathetic plea in the ADCs thread, Lee?)

Two issues for the second edition publication:
(1) Versioning. I've made a hideous mistake with the second
edition rulebook. Rather than trying a proper numbering scheme,
numbering up from, say, v2.0.2, I listed the book as v2.1 and
then simply changed the date of the file to distinguish between
versions. This means there are a lot of .pdf copies of v2.1 out
there, many of which are different. So I'm thinking that the
final printed edition really needs to be v2.2, so as to
distinguish it from any interim playtest version.
(2) Cover Sheet for the Update Pack. The update pack is going to
need a simple cover sheet. This will is a single page, one-sided
sheet that tells players who bought the update pack what do to.
Specifically: what bits of the old game do they replace and what
do they keep? I don't yet have a draft of this and it's on my
list of things to do in the coming weeks.

Agree that 2.2 is what the new printed rules should be called.

A point in favour of One For Jim is that we have a counter for
that very Spitfire.

Evening Victory
or
Easy Prey
Keep the composition simpler, though some of the other
illustrations show the games action better the art that is
focused on one or two planes has a stronger impact.

One for Jim and undecided for the other Victories cover.
Jet Hunter for sure. It's a nice continuation to the Supremacy
cover.

I think I'll apply that to the play aids as well. Let's keep the
numbering for both in synch.

Okay, my preference is for:
Victories Rulebook - One For Jim (

)
Victories Scenarios - Easy Prey (

)
Eagles book - Jet Hunter (

)
The next step is to mock up the covers this weekend to check the
images fit. There's a chance they might not look right. If they
look okay, then I'll order the final files from Antonis.

Okay, so the plan for proofing is:
(1) I'll update the main files this weekend. Rulebook and play
aids will be locked down from Sunday.
(2) Next week Rick commences work on the rulebook indexing.
(3) Vincent will finish the ADCs feedback this week, before
Friday.
(4) At the weekend I'll post the ADC files for Karl to proof.
(5) Vincent will start work on proofing Eagles.

I'm pretty partial to this one - maybe because I knew two of
them.
