Opponent, could often choose if and when a fight would happen.

The Triplane, with greater Lift and maneuverability, often had an 
advantage in a Dogfight. 

FIREPOWER
8 Sided Die.
Both fighters had similar armaments

DEFENSE
6 Sided Die.

TURN SEQUENCE
Both Players roll their 5 dice. 
(Get +1 to all rolls if you were the Attacker last turn)
The player with the higher visibility score is the Attacker. 
The other player is the Defender. 
If the Defender has a higher Speed, he may choose to escape, and end the turn.  
If the Defender has a higher Maneuverability, he becomes the Attacker, and his
Opponent is now the Defender.

score, the Defender is hit, and must roll on the Hit Table:
