Burning aircraft take a damage draw every turn until the fire is extinguished, and smoke can turn into fire.

How it works

An aircraft on fire draws one blue marker each Fire Damage phase and cannot tail, shoot (pilot) or perform restricted manoeuvres. Fire goes out on 5-6 (4-6 after a sideslip) and becomes smoke; smoke clears on 6 but becomes fire on a 1. Seized engines test 6 fire, 5 smoke.

Players whose aircraft have caught fire must draw one BLUE marker and record the damage; damage is applied immediately.
