When it comes to air combat, the question for gamers comes down to - how do we handle three dimensions? Some of the solutions provided by the different rulesets are:
- Just push the planes around in two dimensions.
- Provide markers to indicate the height of each aircraft.
- Create stands that allow the planes to be depicted at one of several altitudes.
- Mount the planes on stands that allow them to rotate on three axes, accurately depicting the true attitude of the aircraft.
Which answer is "right" depends on what you want to get out of the game - a quick evening's entertainment? a complex study of military aviation? a game that looks cool on the tabletop?

Welcoming Stardust Colors!
Please join me in welcoming our latest advertiser: Stardust Colors!
"Stardust is a European paint manufacturer based in the south of France," writes Stardustcolors 
. "The company works mainly in two sectors – firstly, the manufacture of paint for all types of vehicles (cars, motorcycles, bicycles, scooters) with a predilection for paints of another type: the special effect paint.
"Our second sector of predilection is the manufacture of fine acrylic paints. These are solvent-free paints, called water-based, which are mainly designed and dedicated for the different disciplines using airbrushing as a mode of application:
- artistic paints for airbrushes
- paints for radio modeling
- paints for maquetism and hobby
- paints for figurines and miniatures (wargames)
"These are superior quality paints which are therefore specially formulated to be ultra-fluid, very resistant, and containing a high level of pigmentation."
