    Default (unofficial) OTT mission: The Baiting of the Snark.

    August 5th 1918.

    A nice cloudy day,
    To fly like a lark.
    Soaring on high,
    Baiting the Snark.

    But today’s cloudy day,
    was no walk in the park.
    For the deadliest of bites,
    has this elusive white Snark.

    At last gliding high,
    I’ve spotted the Mark.
    Now the hunt does begin,
    of the dastardly Snark

    Attachment 102635

    My talons unsheathed,
    I descend to the Mark.
    To rip, rend and tear,
    that coward the Snark.

    Attachment 102636

    Among feathered mounds,
    We danced near the dark.
    My challenge roared loud.
    but so too did His bark.

    Attachment 102637

    Wounded I was, but
    ne’er dim but dark.
    The future of that
    black hearted Snark.

    Attachment 102638

    For once on his tail,
    His fate could not part.
    Nor rid me so easy, for
    to earth fell the Snark.

    Attachment 102639Attachment 102640

    So battered and wounded,
    To wend home like the Larks.
    Happy at last, for this
    Was the last of all Snarks.


    The Butchers Bill:
    Attachment 102641
    Herr Goering, wounded, shot down 16 damage (+1 hit should have been on the 2 damage not on both 1's).
    Rolled 3-1 (wounded)+2 (ace)= 4 serious wound. rolled 6. Miss 6 scenarios (adios until campaign end mein freund).
    Attachment 102651
    The Hunter 8 damage. RTB. 1 Snark.

    SUMMARY:
    This was the second scenario (unofficial) to have a go at Goering. Rolling off for bouncing he rolled 2+1(ace)=3 I rolled 4+1 (ace) = 5 he was bounced. Rolled direction came in from the left. I over shot after my first long shot and got pummeled, chasing after Goering I though he was going to get off the mat bottom right edge but did 2 left sharp turns and re-entered the combat. Chasing round a cloud I managed to get on his rear (top left bit of mat) and shot him down. Parachuting into trees did not help his situation, although he was behind friendly lines. So Herr Goering has a broken Hip and is out of action for 6 missions and his all white DVII is damaged beyond repair.

    Congratulations for 1. finally downing Goering (though I will miss him, you write him so well as a villian!) and 2. writing the first ever rhyming AAR! If Dr. Suess would have played Wings of War....There's a Wokker in my Fokker and he has it bad for the Spad....

    A good job the Snark did not turn out to be a boojum. This makes me doubt that it was Goring himself, for as we know he could make people disappear.

    It was great fun Neil. Thanks for posting.

    Outstanding! The last of the All-Whites! Goering shot down! (...or is it? Was he? )

    In any case, not only do I love the AAR, but that's a lovely Dr.1!
