Drag aircraft cards onto the board from the Aircraft Panel, accessible by the Aircraft button.
The board contains two large boxes, one for the aricraft of each player. Each box contains 6 invisible "emplacements" to which the aircraft cards "snap". These 6 places are slots for 2 elements of 2 aircraft.
If you have more aircraft, you can place additional aircraft behind the large box. This is why so much space was left on the board/
Clicking on "Hands" buttons opens a secret board where you can place your action cards for both leader and wingman.
There are three per side, so this module allows you to play three elements of aircraft (plus level bombers).
Drag an altitude marker into play. Open a Hand (clicking on the buttons). Drag the altitude marker into the hand, choose your altitude (right-click to increase/decrease), and then mask it (right-click).
Once it is masked, drag it onto the board near your aircraft. Until you unmask it, your opponent cannot see it.
After all altitudes are secretly masked, both players unmask their altitude markers simultaneously.
Right-click on the deck of cards to shuffle it
Click on the Randomizer Button to choose who plays first
After all this is done, play your cards and enjoy !
