Big Bombers in Algernon Pulls It Off!

Hans Müller tangles with an RAF HP 0/400!

In the Algy rule book there is a rule that was carried over from Bag the Hun which prohibits bombers from anything more than Easy manoeuvres. This was obviously designed for large multiple engined aircraft like the Heinkel 111 or Vickers Wellington, rather than the two seater light bombers of the First World War, many of which were pretty nimble, especially later on.

I have decided that, in the interest of both realism and game play, this rule will only apply to aircraft of Size 5 or greater, so the big multi engine types like the Handley Page, Gotha and Zeppelin strategic bombers in the main, rather than lighter aircraft like the Airco DH4, Breguet XIV and so on. I think this makes a lot more sense and avoids any unnecessary special rules tweaks or restraints.
