Fokker e.iii vs Nieuport 11c

[mike_espo]

I am anxiously waiting for WoW: Burning Drachens and the Immelmann booster pack so I can start my Distant Thunder Campaign.

Just curious: how does the classic duel between the Eindecker and the N.11 in WGF?

Historically, the Eindecker should get waxed by the N.11c; the bebe' was more maneuverable and faster; about 10mph faster, I think. Intangibles in favor of the Fokker are the sychronized Spandau, which was a superior weapon to the over the wing Lewis gun, and the fact that the pilot had to reload this drum in combat.

maybe the E.IV or the DH.2 and the Morane N....

Can't wait to try these historic birds out!

Thanks Carl!

Great AAR. Sounds like a historical result to be sure. I did not know there were reloading rules for the lewis gun? Was this a house rule?

Alex got a gun jam result so given it was a Lewis I wrote it up as changing mags - just for colour!
