    Only if we plan to play a kind of tournament (like Prague SummerCon this month) I opt for excluding the xp cards only to get all players in the game as long as possible. That is also Andrea's suggestion included in the original rulebook.
    I agree Andrzej. I have three a decks and two B's in my box, so in theory just about everyone can blow up during a game.

    Normaly he's dead now, but:

    Always Coming Home (When crashes, the pilot will always return home to the Aerodrome.)

    I don't know how to handle this exactly.
    Ok, Joaquim seems still busy.

    I heared many arguments. One point: I won't keep one of my pilots at any cost. Other point: Can't kill him without dooming other pilots with this ace ability.

    So I change the death dice roll to the most worse injury result:

    3-4 - Severely Injured - Skip 1D6 Scenarios

    1d6 → [2] = (2)

    http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3608457/

    Escape:

    1d12 → [3] = (3) + 2 ace - 2 explosion = 3 - Captured and escaped! - Skip 1D3 Scenarios

    http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3608458/

    skip:

    1d3 → [1] = (1)

    http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3608460/

    So Harper is out of action for the next 3 sceanrios.


    I hope you could accept my decision.

    No problem for me at all, Sven.
    That was indeed a difficult issue and I fully understand your decision and the change you made.
    However it doesn't change my mind as far as ACH ability is concerned: I will never choose it for any of my PCs and NPCs. But that's a personal choice of every campaign participant

    That seems fair to me Sven. I have marked up the spreadsheet accordingly

    Fine with me too. I'll send a telegram to his wife with the news that he has escaped and is alive in Hospital.

    Andrzej, we need another roll for an Eagle pilot:

    Fwbl Juergen Kleins - wounded - returned to base.

    I will roll the dice of death tomorrow. Tonight the dark harvester is fed up, my friend... Eagles do not mourn, they just wipe out the tears and fight on. Hope the Brits will honour the fallen...

    Spreadsheet updated with latest data from here & the AAR - will need rolls for Tavy & Hibbet Sven.
    You will note I have put (Ace) next to the deserving pilots names - that's to remind (me, mostly) to check their Ace skills before I start the game - hope you all find that useful too.

    Peter Hibbet (ace) - shot down in flames over friendly territory.

    1d12 → [3] = (3) + 2 ace = 5 Injured - Skip 1D3 Scenarios

    Jim Tavy (wounded) exploded over friendly territory

    What can I say?
    I'm sorry for the Bulldogs. Tavy is gone. Two deaths in one half/mission.
    The dark harvester has just opened it's account.
    Hope he wouldn't make an ACE during the next half of the mission.

    Thats the luck of the Irish for you.
    They don't call him Dodger for nothing.
    I thought they were both gonners for sure when that plane went down.
    Lt. Ginger Blaney will have to wait in the wings for his transfer a little while longer then. He is an old mucker of Bouncers from the old days, and keeps putting in for a transfer to 52.

    I am relieved. Getting a bit short of pilots who are not in hospital.
    Thank goodness those gun butts are now padded.

    I told you never to mention the word butt in my presence.

    Have we got results for Jach & Eberstark yet ?

  31. #81

    Default

    Yes we have the latest reports from our outposts near the frontline.

    Both of our aces returned to their unit.
    Eberstark was lucky enough to safely bring his crate down and landed quite well (11). Then he rushed through the trenches (12) and was carried back to the drome.
    Fit for the next scenario.

    Jach was far less lucky. Being wounded he lost control over his perforated kite and crashed. He was injured during the crash (4 - 1 + 2 = 5), but somehow managed to leave the smoking wreck and crossed the line (10 - 1 = 9).
    He will skip 2 scenarios

    I'm affraid Paul has another opinion in that matter

    "Seems like you chose most of my NPC pilots and got them killed 17 to 25 are my guys or were and were due to fly part 2 of the mission."
