    Lightbulb Williamburg Muster 2014 game 1

    Daylight Strategic bombing 1942.

    Game one featured three B-17F`s Escorted by two RAF Spitfire Mk V. `s for the Allies. Two FW-190A3`s and two ME-109G`s took them on.

    Two targets and two airfields were placed on the map. The bombers started three firing sticks from the coast edge.

    The action started early with the German fighters attacking the bombers and the fighters as they intervened. The bombers were hit hard early the lead ship took 12 damage in the first attack run. The lead bomber finally went down with a total of 40 hit points taken. It was down to one point when the Fw`s came back around it was overkill. One of the Spitfires was brought down In too rapid order the other two 17 were shot down short of the coast. The last Spitfire shot up headed for home A complete German victory. Without loss!

    Wow, the Allies took quite the beating in this scenario. I wish I could have been there.

    These pictures make it seriously tempting to branch out into WW2! My wallet can't handle the strain, but more importantly the wife will bring the pain..lol

    You should consider coming for the Guns of August Con. Try some WW2 games.

    I hope you are felling better! Thank you they put on a good display. Still waiting on my heavy duty flight pegs and accessories from Litko. I ordered some altitude dials and damage markers to fit the larger pegs.They are custom pieces and have held up the order.
    If you like big bombers there are two B-29`s waiting for an opening in the production schedule! That will make three.

    While at the local hobby shop i saw a 1:200 scale B-29 made by Model Power. Not a bad looking model.

    Thanks for your well wishes Rich. I'm gradually getting my strength up to speed again. Got to be fit for WMMS next week.
    The price of that plane is very reasonable. If I were opening another front, i would be in like a shot for those.
    thanks for the heads up.

    I picked one of those up at the Hobbytown in Toledo last month; I was looking for Bettys, but that was a nice find.

    Will you be running anything at WMMS? Right now my collection has more fronts. than tops and bottoms. I have run out of storage boxes!

    A few shots my friend Jim took at Williamsburg! He was flying a P-38.

    That very much depends on if we can get the second table I guess Rich.
