Hi!

The proposed flyer rules are simple:

We use the old ones as core rules, all other are moved to the optional list.
the old rules of course have certain clarifications:

1. only other flyers can close combat flyers
2. only AA can fire at flyers, infantry may shoot if targetted at -2 to hit,
vehicles may not fire at them
3. flyers must move at least half their move allowance each turn, regardless
of orders. they may make as many turns as wished before and after movement,
all movement in between is a straight line.
4. flyers have line of sight on most of the board except within woods, they
can spot for indirect fire
5. weapon range goes back to the original range per weapon

My addition to this would be the use of the first fire order for transport
that entitles them to land troops. Since they come in evading this imposes
a -1 to hit from AA fire.

It still leaves the real threat of AA, but it becomes likely that they can
land successfully. The risk versus payoff is more balanced. Opinions?

That would be the whole of the rules.
