  1. A Single Picture Doesn't Tell the Story

    The Wright Flight gathered together yesterday for our monthly Wings of War/Glory session at the Dragon's Guildhall near Dayton, Ohio. I believe there were eight of us nefarious types present to see a couple of Handley-Page beasts grace the table, escorted by a single Brisfit, facing off against a mix of German late war aircraft (three Fokker D.VIIs, one Fokker D.VIII, and one SSW D.III). The bombers had targets to bomb on three places marked out on a city mat (we used three mats altogether). ...

    The second part of our tournament was held during Sunday. I'm sure Nemanja would appreciate the start around 9:30 so there were plenty of time to sleep after visiting Officer's Mess yesterday.

    We were attacking with bombers during our first mission. Briefing, tactics, should be a piece of German cake. Well, it wasn't. Our brave bomber ...

  3. Wings of Eternal City - Chapter 4: Choks Away, Chaps!

    11/6/2022

    Enough of sightseeing, gentlemen, today we'll fly. There are two missions over enemy's territory and a training one. Make notes, you need to know what to do in the air.

    We (me and 2 Andreas) prepared the mats and system. The hall is ok, conditioned to a fine temperature and players of medieval tactical games are already playing (on a photo). In the second hall there are players of ASL - terribly quiet in deep concentration.

  4. Wings of Eternal City - Chapter 3: Walking All Around

    10/6/2022

    Friday, not quite a gaming day, but I have still something to see.
    Tickets for buses are not for sale in Tobacco Stores anymore so let's play an infantry role and use my own legs for a walk.

    The first stop was near Piazza Venezia that really remind me my visit of that city.

    If you're thinking when I'm standing, it is Altare della Patria. Really huge monument. I though I've seen many monumental ...
  5. Wings of Eternal City - Chapter 2: Through the City

    9/6/2022

    I like to stay somewhere during workdays. Maybe you have the same experince as me: the place (whatever which one) is different than during weekdays. So I woke up, had a breakfast (well, Italians know why they love coffee) and headed to the Villa Doria Pamphilj park for a walk and, uhm, few geocaches (don't know if you're familiar with this almost childish game but I'm in it for 15 years and just can't help myself). I found three there.
