Using the attached screen print below, will someone help explain the fields "Ready", "Damaged" and "Max".

In the example below does the 21 for "Ready" indicate 21 ready planes; does the 3 for "Damaged" mean there are 3 planes out of the Max of 24 damaged or that 3 of the "Ready" planes are damaged and there's really only 18 ready planes out of a maximum of 24?

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Ready = those that will be ready to fly and have pilots when scenario is loaded.

Damaged = those that will be damaged and *not* draw pilots when scenario is loaded.

Max = group's size (affects aircraft being placed in reserve if more then this number)

I'm still a bit confused. Does this mean that, in the example below, that there ARE 21 planes ready to fly and 3 planes that are damaged but there is a grand total of 24 planes in the squadron?

a couple of examples to clear it up:

rdy 5, dmg 2, max 27

game will start with 5 ready, 5 pilots, 2 damaged, and will grow to a max of 27

rdy 27, dmg 9, max 27

game will start with 27 ready, 27 pilots, 9 damaged and will shift the 9 extras to reserve (over 27)

Clearer?

Very much clearer. Thanks.
