I tried a fun scenario with moving ground fire . I know what you're thinking: . But, I rigged it so that they move only half as slow as planes (not sure how that works, maybe mounted?), and it was very fast paced action! It needs only the Burning Drachen set. Try it for yourself; the rules are as follows:
Just before the phase when landed planes move (if you're not playing with landed planes, that'd be before the second maneuver), one player (randomly selected) can choose a plane to "manage" meaning do one of these things:
1) Entrench (if mobilized): Remove all blank/useless counters from the ground fire. It acts like normal ground fire.
2) Mobilize (if entrenched): Add a blank/useless counter to the ground fire. While it has this counter, it takes twice as much damage (represented by altitude counters) and can only fire as a trench does (if it is C-firing AA, it doesn't fire or reload at all).
3) Move (if mobilized): Move as if it was a landed aircraft (see Burning Drachen rules).
4) Charge (if mobilized): Move up to one ruler in a direction in which the ruler is parallel to the shorter sides of the card.
5) Do nothing :embarass:.
The selected plane must not have been "managed" this turn. Then let the other player do it, then you can do it again, then they can again, and so on until all ground fire have been managed. You cannot move ground fire onto other ground fire unless otherwise is specifically mentioned in the scenario rules. Ground fire can shoot at other ground fire. Managing does include option #5
The setup is the same as the "Lonely Sentinel" scenario with altitude, with the following exceptions: The Allied player does not receive rockets, but instead receives 3 trenches, 2 B-firing AA-mg's, 1 A-firing AA-mg, and 1 C-firing AA. He may line these up at his edge, but not overlapping. Yes, all ground fire can move. The German player get his Albatross immediately. Everything else is exactly the same, including the fact that no points are rewarded for silencing trenches or AA. Let the battle begin!
So that's it! Be sure to play it , give feedback , and promote me to post more stuff on forms .
