We got 2 games in last night, with Kevan, Herman, Rex & Andy at the table. Game 1 pitted Kevan & Herman in Nieuport 17s against Andy & Rex in a Pflaz DIII and Alb DIII. Turn one saw Herman turn into a Nieport Sandwich. Andy missed, but Rex hit the mark & turn the Frenchie into a glider. Kevan faught back valiantly though, and was able to put enough hits into Rex to drive him away a few turns later. Andy was not as lucky, and the Nieuport swooped in and did one point of damage...to the poor Huns Stomach. The Pfalz spun to the ground, and the Nieuport flew off with sweet revenge. Game 2 was almost a flip-flop with Andy & Rex in Nieuport 17s & Kev & Herman in Alb DIIIs. Rex had to go, so fled after turn one. Andy had the luck of rolling 11s for initiative most of the night, which didnt help his cause in gaining the advantage. Only giving up 3-400 ft shots allowed him to stay in it though, and eventually he got a few good knocks in on Herman... who unfortunately took the SAME engine crit as he had in game one & had to glide away!! Kevan understood the power of the Nieuport that evening, and headed for home.
**I think having the 1st person in set up the scenario & post it on the board really sped things up, and we are getting close to 'full speed' now!!

Same exact hit to by dumb prop shaft!!! It was some fun gaming though, and the games played quickly!
It was fun to see Andy lose initiative almost every time, and still turn things around on us! I almost gave up chasing him cause I couldn't get a shot, but figured I should stick with Kevan just in case there was an opening for me...unfortunately that opening I was waiting for ended up being poor Carl Yudis' doom. After flying/gliding toward home he found a nice even road to land on. He then promptly flipped the plane on touchdown and died in the crash! I guess he thinking of 3 schnitzel instead of 3 points on the ground. RIP Carl!

Herm you did the right thing as an Alb pilot, stay as close to your wingman as possible and hold out for an opening...unfortunately it did turn on you this time

Fun game all. I had an idea that might speed things up even more. Since it seems that there is a post in the forums each week prior to the game starting. Maybe we should roll up 2 or 3 game scenarios in advance. Say Wed. night. Then all we have to do is roll for sides and Aircraft and start playing. When 1 mission is done, number 2 is ready to go. It might draw more players too if they see a mission they like Ie. Balloon Busting or ground attack ect.
