Chances are they quit immediately or as soon as the first bomb drop goes down. I had one guy start a 1941 20 minute game in Stalingrad only to then quit less than a minute from the end with only a handful of points remaining!
I appeciate that games go down and there's nothing any of us can do but I always make a point, if I'm hosting, of sending an apology to those affected even if it's out of my control. the same goes if I accidently kamikazee someone as I don't consider that to be 'cricket'.
Maybe we need a name and shame thread for the worst offenders????
I always feel bad when I've rammed a bomber. It's not intentional, I just get a bit over zealous sometimes leaving it too late to veer away. One might argue that ramming and rocketing is cricket if there are a couple or more B17s on the opposing team.
