Apologies for the continued quiet, but I'm both very tired and
in need of rest, and I'm still wrestling with the environment
stuff.
I'm basically thinking that the environment needs to be a choice
- you need an opt-in and not have it depeded on the appearance
of cards. There's also not a lot written about the use of
weather at a tactical level. One small exception is Reade
Tilley's Hints on Hun Hunting in which he mentions that cloud is
overrated for offense and is mostly useful for defence.
So I'm thinking of two mechanics at the moment, though I haven't
been able to quite wrangle out of the details.
(a) Cloud. If cloud is present there are optional outcomes, that
permit easier escape.
(b) Some kind of Sun effect that a flight can sieze to place
them up-Sun of the opponent. This might be an additional step
for the Bounce zone.

So, some further changes are being worked in. I think I've
figured how the weather works, now. I've also figured some other
fixes that will permit me to support a campaign-style scenario -
which has been the thing driving a lot of these changes for the
last two months.

Okay, I've done some critical work on the cards today. I now
just need to work all the changes, and there's a raft of them,
into the rules text. That's a job for tomorrow.

I've now completed a pass on the rules, and I want to try and do
a test here before the end of the holidays.
I think these new rules are better set-up for possible campaign
rules, especially now that they have better-defined positions
for fighters in the Far zones.

So, I've just uploaded the latest edition of everything to
dropbox. This is the first upload in two months, I know.

With the bew layout of the firum, I can't figure out how to find
unread messages. Especially not on the phone.

Not sure if this works on your phone but click the down arrow
next to your name at the top of a page. You’ll see an option for
recent unread topics.

Tentatively it is Fighter Boys.
