3rd edition rules, about 13.3 and VPs awarded for lost pilots, how does it work for bomber crews ?
In a USAAF / IJA game where 2 IJA bombers were shot down, we have 2 crewmembers out of 14 who make it back to base. So I understand this awards 2 VPs for the IJA side.
But the 12 other crewmen of both bombers were all lost for the IJA, so do you count 2 pilots per plane lost (these are 2 pilots bombers) (3 VP per reg pilot lost would = 4 x 3 = 12 VPs for the USAAF), or do you count 2 crew lost (3 VPs per reg crew lost would = 2 x 3 = 6 VPs for the USAAF).
Question is should we read "pilot" in the above table as "crew" regarding multi men / multi pilots planes ?
Only pilots lost give points to enemy side. Crew member on multi-crew aircraft are cannon fodder (no value).
