WW1 Air Campaign
Overview
Two opposing squadrons are formed in early 1916 as dedicated scout units, one at Jabbecke one at Abeele. Up until that time units of mixed aircraft types were used. These squadrons start out that way but will gradually obtain scout aircraft. Each side must carry out missions earning resources, with the final aim to be earning 30 "General Staff Interest Points"
During a mission an aircraft will use up a drum of fuel, if it empties its machine guns it will expend a case of ammunition, and if bombs are dropped they too must be replaced. Points may be exchanged for resources but obviously that will lessen the number of points adding towards General Staff Interest Points."
Points must also be used for spares to allow the unit fitters to repair damaged aircraft, and to train new pilots.
