'''Bullets''': Bullets can be fired in one of three modes. They can be fired straight; they will continue to fly in the direction they were fired in. They can be guided; the bullets path can be bent by the rotation of the player's plane (same as tanks). Or they can be fired in machine-gun mode; they fly very fast, very short, and appear in rapid succession.<br> | '''Bullets''': Bullets can be fired in one of three modes.

'''Clouds''': Choosing a play field with clouds does nothing to affect the gameplay beyond obscuring the location of the biplanes and bullets that pass behind them. Players can use the clouds strategically to surprise one another with shots fired from within the clouds.<br> | '''Clouds''': Choosing a play field with clouds does nothing to affect the gameplay beyond obscuring the location of the biplanes and bullets that pass behind them.

Game variation 19 provides both players with a pair of bi-planes that fly and shoot together. Game variation 20 provides one player with a bomber, the width of three bi-planes, while the other player pilots three regular sized bi-planes. The large bomber fires an equally large bullet, while the three bi-planes fire three shots (which technically gives that player the advantage.) Choose variation 20 when one player is significantly better than another. | ||
