Sunday Night 6/3 Game

[AP]

Kevan, Michael & myself were just online & would like to play at 8PM CST... any takers we need a 4th!

Oops. Must have started my thread before you hit 'post message' on yours.

Were you guys able to find a 4th? I wish I had seen this thread in time to participate. I hate to say it, but during the weekend I check my e-mail more often than I visit the forum. If someone wants to get a game going at a time other than Thursday night, I recommend they send out a group e-mail to everyone.

We actually had 5! Ended up w/ a Feb 1918 duel that saw Michael, Rex and Stephen in Alb (DVas?) against Andy & Kevan in SPAD XIIIs. Despite Jamming 3 of 4 guns, the Allies managed to chase Stephens Alb Ace away with an Engine crit, set fire to Rex's engine (exploding 3 turns later) and pursued Michael relentlessly until a wing came off with one final point from Andy...twas an exciting bout!!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Oh, that's pitiful. I deliberately hung around until we could get Kevan off Michael's tail, and now they both died?

I was really disappointed when they chased Michael's plane in a steep dive toward Andy's plane. Their SPAD XIII's were vastly superior to our DV's and we were 90 squares in Allied lines... so I felt that we had fought them to a draw and that it was time to get home while the gettin' was good. Once Michael dove 1600 feet below everyone all three of us could have easily walked away and kept our pilots.

I think Rex had a 3/0 pilot up, too. Sorry, guys!

Blasphemy! Burn the heretic!

Oh I'm sure somebody will do just that at the next VDP game. Seriously though, if we had a mailing list of VDP players to use when we want to try to set up a "pick up" game, it might help.

How about this? Whoever would like to be added to a "universal" VDP mailing list, please send me an e-mail. I'll put a list together and send it out to everyone. Then when any one of us wants to set up a game, we can send out a group e-mail.

You can sign up as a player on the Vassal site. There are a handful of players signed up on the original module, and a few of us have signed up under the new module. If I recall correctly, Rex used the list of players for the original module when he was pulling the first game together in April. Rather than have one person responsible for updating a list, we could encourage everyone to register there and use it as our list when needed.

I setup a VDP Group Mailing List off of a new website that I plan to build related to WWI air combat. It was very easy to setup so if you guys choose not to use it, my feelings won't be hurt. To sign up, people just have to do the following:

1 - Goto ww1aircombat.rgstats.com/mailman/listinfo/vdpgroup_ww1aircombat.rgstats.com and follow the instructions there. (sorry for the long url)

2 - Confirm your signup by following the instructions in the email you receive.

3 - To post a message to all the list members, just send an email to [e-mail].

I hope this helps the group. This website runs off a server at dailyrazor.com and is up 24/7 with full backups and 24/7 customer support.

It wasn't quite that bad. My pilot was 0/0 and took a Magic bullet on my first engine hit. Set me on fire but the engine still running. On the third check to put the flames out, Rolled a 6 and blew up.

That was the second magic bullet I have taken this week. After some rifleman took out my controls on Thursday on my 1 and only point of damage from ground fire. Hopefully this run of bad luck with charge up my Karma for winning one if the Events.

Fingers crossed.

P.S. Still having fun.
