HAVE FUN!!!!!

S! since all the maps show just one drome for each side, what happens when a drome is destroyed early in the game? Is the match over?

S! all, Harry, when an aerodrome is destroyed, the game continues, but pilots from that drome will have to re-life from the runway in order to repair/rearm at the cost of minus three points for each re-life. Same thing if your home aerodrome is damaged so badly that it will not repair/rearm, pilots will have to re-life from the runway at the cost of minus three points for each re-life.

It should make for some interesting planning, both for offense and defense for both teams, and require guarding your home aerodromes; and for those pilots who have to re-life in order to rearm/repair, they will have to aim more carefully with ammo, rockets and bombs to limit the amount of times they will have to re-life in order to repair/rearm so they don't cost their team excessive points.
