Simple as above how many planes can one person reasonably control?

About a dozen is ideal; 20 or 30 a side is still manageable, but a squadron or so per player's pretty much perfect.

We tend to have about 12 to 16 planes on the table. More if some are bombers, just doing basic bombing runs.

my 0.02
starting 2-4 per player
experienced upto 12 per player
game tempo depends a lot on formations, otherwise turns will take quite long for 20+ individual planes.

Thanks, we have been playing Algy pulls it off and we are now moving onto bag the hun and essentially wanted some bombers plus escourts being attacked by flights of enemy fighters.

it appears that the rules will allow us to do this.

Ditto Schulien.

I started with four per player and have got up to a dozen ie 24 on the table in total. I'm a bit wary of going much beyond that though.

Generally, To get a game done, we fight a couple of sections at most against a bomber stream with a 1 or 2 sections of escorts. That works for 2 or 3 players
