Friday evening BoB Kanalkampf on a new mat

Yesterday I called some of my flight members and one newbie (Paul) to play some BoB missions over the Channel: frei jagd and convoy bombing.
Teams were selected at random: Filip, the Young Lion and Paul played the Bf 109s, Darek and me played the defenders. The youngest, Maciek, was responsible for convoy movement;)
After several missions the British defenders won:) Although the Germans managed to sink one of the ships, they were beaten by our Spitfires. Altitude rules added much to the fights!
I scored 4 kills (including a Stuka) and was not shot down even once (ho, ho, ho!)
Filip scored 1 kill, but was shot down 3 times.
Others didn't score at all.

Below you can see some shots of our event.

NB,
Looks good! What scale ships did you use, 1/2400?

Looks like miniatures from Axis & Allies War at Sea. 1/1800

Nice Channel gaming mat, Andrzej!:eek:

Is this the backside of your WW I trench mat?

Good idea to play an anti ship scenario. Can't await the BF-110 and He-111 for BoB missions.

Wonderful mission, Andrzej!
I've tried to upload the new solo rules for WW2 that I've tweaked in the files section, but I wasn't allowed... :(
If you want, I can send them to you.
Richard Bradley was very generous and sent me his files so that I could use them.

Only one word for that mat Andrzej.
Superb.
Rob.

Very nice Andrezj. War @ Sea ships. Give me some ideas for missions. Thanks

:thumbsup: Looks like it was a fun game Andrzej.
Congrats on all your Victories!:salute:

Great mat well done. Looks like you guys had a ball.
:pint:

:) It is another mat of that kind, Sven (they are one sided).
The ship minis are the A&A miniatures ones, of course:)
Yes, the planes you mentioned would add a lot of flavor to the game!

These were some simple missions, mostly to get the new guy involved and concerned on "flying and shooting" with altitude rules.
1. a fighter sweep (frei jagd) - clash of two pairs of fighters.
2. convoy bombing - one of us (the youngest, but willing to play with the adults) was responsible for fleet movement (one move of every ship a turn - one ruler width forward, or left/forward, right/forward, heading the opposite side of the mat). One of the German players piloted the Stuka, the other one an escort.

Excellent report and pics Andrzej. The map is very neat. :)
