What you see on the board

Aircraft
Each aircraft is a biplane in its player's colour, nose pointing the way it is flying.

Ring around it
A brass ring means that pilot has twenty points or more and so gets ace advantages.

Coloured runways
The airfields, each with three runways: α to the left, β towards the centre and γ to the right. The runways are coloured in the pilot's colour. An airfield with faded runways belongs to a pilot who is out of the fight.

Grey patches
Thunderclouds. Flying into one costs damage, and you cannot shoot into or through them.

Darker outer ring
The last row of hexes. Cross it and you leave the playing area and crash.

Solid lines
The route an aircraft flew this turn, with a pale open ring (no fill, rather than the player's colour) at its starting point.

Names by the airfields
Each airfield shows its pilot's name with two numbers, for example 12/16: how many more damage points he can take before he goes down, and how many bursts he has left.

The pilots

Pilot	Damage	State
Mutedfaith	3/12	in the air
Finchhunter	3/12	in the air
Nicky	0/12	in the air
Ollannach	1/12	in the air
Chippy	0/12	in the air
Cambria	0/12	in the air

Orders sent in are visible only to the pilots themselves until the turn has been played. Ammunition is shown with the names on the board.
