Each time an aircraft is destroyed it is subtracted from the number available for the Operation. Damaged aircraft are not subtracted from the Operational limit. Using an aircraft on one Day, does not preclude its use on the following Day. At the beginning of each Day, a card is drawn to determine the Weather, and a card is drawn to determine the Air to Ground Mission. The Weather dictates the number of aircraft available to the Germans and the Soviets.
Players then select their aircraft to participate in each mission.
An aircraft used in one Mission may not be used in the other Mission during the same Day. The Germans may use up to 8 of their Aircraft this turn and the Soviets may use up to 6 of their Aircraft. A card is then drawn for the Air to Ground Mission and it is a Barrel Roll, so the Germans are bombing a Soviet Supply Depot. The players then secretly select the aircraft they will send on the Air to Ground Mission and Air Lift Mission. Air to Ground, then Air Lift Missions are then resolved for the Day.
