Beware Andy! Those Girls will want their revenge especially as you shot down their Polish planes!
Good to see the wives back in action Andy.
Hopefully this time next year we can add another wife into the photos!

Always fun to see families gaming together!

Yes, here we go with another season of Friday Gaming with wives!
Last Friday we invited Arek and his wife Ilona whom we are going to spend this year summer holidays in Croatia with to have a WGF game together and to test my new gaming table I had been given by Arek as a B-Day gift.
My plan was to give our wives the edge: they were to pilot A firing Hanriots against us - Austro-Hungarian ones flying B firing Aviatiks. Moreover, the Wives took on us right from the sun. We could barely seen them on our six!
Lovely!
Arek and me tried to make evasive actions at once!
Arghhhh! In vain! Arek had been hit hard and his plane turned into a torch! My plane is just a card for a while
Ufff...out of their guns for a while...
A riddle... how to take on the hubbies?
Planning...
Bad news! Arek, partly consumed by fire is finally down. First victory goes to my wife!
Their joy did not last long, for I avanged my wingman downing Ilona, ripping her Hanriot's canvas in a swift pass!.
The Austro-Hungarians cheered the first victory on the spot!
That was my day. After some smartmaneuvers I scored the second kill. My wife is down
Now the bills:
Arek, my wingman: down, no kills.
Ilona, the Italian, down, no kills.
Edyta, the Italian, down, 1 kill.
Well, and the last pilot flying
Fun, had by all! The table is awesome, tested and approved

Excellent evening!
Nice photos, Andy!
Be glad you guys ain't WWII pilot Louis Curdes... the only thing that saved his girlfriend from a fate worse than death was him shooting her plane down. (He shot out the engines, forcing the pilot to ditch... got both a DFC and a wedding ring out of it.)

Curdes's Mustang, "Bad Angel" is on display at Pima and I've suggested Ares consider it as a reprint candidate.
That was actually "A Close Run Thing" Andy as you did not have many damage points left.
Looked like a great night & some nice drinks noticeable on the table!
What may I ask is Blue Barrel ? Scotch or Burbon?
What a story, mate! Many thanks for sharing itOriginally Posted by Diamondback

Good question, Baz.What may I ask is Blue Barrel ? Scotch or Burbon?
Highly recommended beverage.
It is our latest discovery. Not overpriced, very, very smoth and tasty!

Great game Andy.
It looked as if you all had a fantastic evening.
Must try to get over to see you next year.
We can talk at Donnie.

That is an incredible story DB. If they made a film out of it no one who was not in the know would believe it for a second.
What made me laugh was the Stars and Stripes on the side of his Mustang along with all his other victories.
