Gaining Experience (CVGG - Optional)
For the current campaign, players will start with one Veteran and one Rookie. The Veteran will have one Ace Skill (chosen by player, but only basic level Ace skills).
Rookies
Rookies will follow the Wings of Glory Optional Rules, and progress using the
WGS “Rookies in a Campaign” Rules. Each Rookie crewman keeps his status until he achieves one of the following:
- he personally hits targets (airplanes, troops,
AA guns, etc…) a total of 5 times;
- he personally shoots down a plane;
- his plane successfully completes a mission where it must hit one or more ground targets, or take pictures of it;
- he survives through his third game.
Starting the next game, he is considered to be a Veteran.
Veterans
Any pilot not a Rookie is a Veteran. Veterans are subject to all normal rules. After 5 Victories, they are able to select an Ace skill. Veterans cannot select the Super Ace skill, nor any Level II skill. On acquiring five Ace skills, the Veteran becomes a Class Three Elite.
Elite Crews
Elite crews are pilots or observers with five or more Ace skills. Only Elite individuals can select the Super Ace skill (meaning they can select it only on attaining their sixth Ace skill or later), or Level II skills
Elite Crews are divided into three Classes:
- Class Three Elite: Any crew having five or more Ace skills is a Class Three Elite. Class Three Elites use damage decks with four Zero cards removed (Special Damage cards must remain in the deck). Upon achieving 11 Ace skills, the pilot is elevated to Class Two.
- Class Two Elite: Any crew having eleven or more Ace skills is a Class Two Elite. Class Two Elites use damage decks with all but three Zero cards removed (Special Damage cards must remain in the deck). Upon achieving 15 Ace skills, the pilot is elevated to Class One.
- Class One Elite: Any crew having fifteen or more Ace skills is a Class One Elite. Class One Elites use damage decks with all but three Zero cards removed, and all but three One cards removed (Special Damage cards must remain in the deck).
There are no additional experience ranks above Class One Elite.
