I seem to recall the nominate version of the P39 changed from
P39N to P39Q or something like that, after the P39 ADC was
printed. This could create version confusion.

The 'What ADC Do I Use' list only lists those ADCs included in
the expansion, not all aircraft used in the scenarios. So it
lists the B-25 because we have a B-25 ADC in the expansion. It
doesn't list the P-39Q because there's no P-39 ADC included with
Eagles.

And now I see the printed P39 is indeed the P39Q so I don't know
anymore :-)

The P-39 card has evolved to encompass other variants such as
the N on its reverse side.

Announcement
As a consequence of the rulebook re-indexing, the index expanded
substantially in size. To ensure it fit the last two pages of
the rulebook, I have moved the credits out of the rulebook and
onto the back of the scenario book. I hope this doesn't cause
any upset, but I thought it necessary in the circumstances.

Hey Lee,
Eagles proofing complete!
Now, to type all of this in... Not sure I'll be able to deliver
before the end of tomorrow. Isabelle and I are out for movie and
dinner this evening, first time in ages.
A question about the various What ADC Do I Use? sections layout.
Which of the two solutions below do you prefer?
1. Gathering all the variants under as few entries as possible,
alphanumerical order be damned, for a "more compact" listing.
For instance:
Hs 129B-1, B-3 Hs 129B-2 variant
Hs 129B-2 Hs 129B-2
2. To the contrary, going for a "more expansive" listing. For
instance:
Hs 129B-1 Hs 129B-2 variant
Hs 129B-2 Hs 129B-2
Hs 129B-3 Hs 129B-2 variant

The rule I like to use is that if the variants are distinct from
each other, they are listed separately. So your second solution
rather than the first.

Ok,
So in my Supremacy proofing,
B-17E, F Flying Fortress B-17G Flying Fortress variant
should actually have been
B-17E Flying Fortress B-17G Flying Fortress variant
B-17F Flying Fortress B-17G Flying Fortress variant
because the two variants have different ratings. Right?

Yes, that's right.

Rules updates.
I know I stated the rules were locked, but nevertheless, when we
come up hard against deadlines, a bunch of stuff comes under
review.
While Rick continues to work away on proofing the 24Feb18
version of the rules, here’s a list of the currently proposed
changes to go into the final copy that Vincent will proof:
8.2 - Added sentence stating squadrons now have to spend all
MPs, though we make an exception for any unspent 0.5 MPs. (Moved
from 8.4.)
8.2 - We explicitly state that the bonus MP for diving is
optional and reference those exception occasions when squadrons
cannot claim the bonus.
8.3 - Explicitly call MPs spent staying is a square is
‘circling’
8.3.1 - Rule has been cut down to reference the time when
circling is required by mission behaviour.
8.4 - The rule on how many MPs to spend is moved to 8.2.
9.2.6 - Minor tweak to 9.2.6 to accommodate change to
movement/circling (i.e. RTB squadrons cannot circle).
9.2.7 - Sidebar broken up for clarity, following CSW
conversation.
14.2.3 - Minor tweak to the circling reference to accommodate
change to movement/circling.
15.3 - Minor tweak to the circling reference to accommodate
change to movement/circling ("While flying a bombing profile,
bombers cannot circle.”).
I'll nee Vincent to pay attention to these when it comes to his
proofing pass, after Rick completes his.
