I have had a go ot this,Originally Posted by Twisted_terrain
1/2 a ruler, and special damage only was my take on it, used a B deck. one shooter per plane
I suppose you could try pilot : pistol:1/2 ruler,...obs:rifle:whole ruler. Would give more shots as range decreased, but still only special damage
Field of fire would be "common sense"
You hit the nail right on the head with that line Baz !
Not everyone will have the planes (though that may change?!) so scenarios have to be planned with that in mind, unfair to do otherwise, however, this being OTT no-one will stop a player substituting with suitable aircraft. It's your game for your pleasure after all.
All we ask is that you play the scenario set & write the AAR using the title & date of the scenario (makes it easier to compile the collection)
My intent at the moment is a 1v1 to start with so you can either sub the aircraft or offer two AAR for Jan16
As we start the campaign in Jan16 when most aircraft have MGs fitted we will be way beyond the rifle & pistol type of air combat (no Flyboys shot in this game) so I won't be introducing any such scenario or rules in ED.

Nice one John, I like the range distances and field of fire, how'd you call the game?
Fairy nuff, sir.
Just about got the crates painted - order for decals made
Gunbus done raring for the off, BE2 next (doesn't seem to have any guns though but its a 2 seater). Albatross DII and Fokker DI I'll keep for later.
See you on the Dark Side......
Actually I call it fairly dull. It takes a while to play due to the slow speed of the aircraft, Be2=XC, Alb B1=XD, and using only special damage, it can take a while to land a shot. Take two hits, and you go home, as the aircraft is too valuable to play silly buggers
Just pop a Peter Pig observer with M/Gun in the front Cockpit.
Pilots of the early BE's were in the rear cockpit.
I can imagine, cheers John.
Just "pop" him in
Pilots of the early BE's were in the rear cockpit.considering cutting mine in !!!
Just "pop" him inYes I know what you mean. You can get about half a PP bod in if you are lucky.
Have you selected a side yet John ?!
I have drawn up the scenario writing running order and posted it in the sticky - I have tried to balance them between Entente & CP as well as OTT old hands & new bloods. Format is Month due / Player / Campaign Month.

Authors should aim to post their scenario by the 1st of the month or just before. Take note of aircraft types becoming available, as well as comments listed in that post, as they may help/affect your story telling.

Thanks Dave, months of AARs fantastic
Heres to happy hunting.

"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
End of the scourge, rise of the pusher.
Anyone who has not done so yet - can you pm me your pilot lists so I can round out the roster: Looking for 4 scout pilots - Lt, 2Lts & Sgts for the Entente; Obltn, Ltns, Fwbls for the CP.
As we have some time and by popular demand, for those that have them, please let me have names of a couple of two-seater crews you may wish to play. ie pilot/observer. those with FE's, Gunbus types will need crewmen anyway (let you pick the ranks)
This will give you flights with 8 members for the kick off.

Cheers Dave, that's great, it panned out both ways last night, it's a toughie for the brits and should be. Had seven players in the end.
Looks like I have a new wingman on the go to.
Well done Si - think alot of games will be tough on the Brits !
May 1917 for me... the RFC reeling from the effects of "Bloody April" but winning the Battle of Arras... and bolstered by the arrival by the SE5 and Brisfit. Interesting times to be sure.
Looking forward to this. I only have what, 17 months to plan my mission?
Time passes quickly Christopher, but plenty of time to come up with a great scenario

True. But if I remain consistent, I won't think about it until just before the deadline and then be forced to work like a madman to get it completed on time.Time passes quickly Christopher, but plenty of time to come up with a great scenario
We each have our process, I suppose.
I just finished painting my first Shapeways planes; two Bristol Scouts and a Gotha G.I. I'm going to try them out tomorrow and post an AAR of them in action! I think you guys sold me on the product...
Before this starts I have a few Shapeways to paint up myself. 2 Bristol Scouts, 2 RAF BE2Cs, 4 Vicker Gunbus', 3 RAF FE2Bs, 4 Rumpler CIs, 2 Morane Salnier Ps, 1 RAF FE8, 4 Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutters, 1 Albatross DII, 2 Seimens-Schukert DI, 2 Fokker D Vs... I know I won't get then done in time but will work on then as I can. At least I know I should be able to cover most of the scenarios!
That's alot of painting Pete ! Posted my efforts in the Hobby Room - I'm done !
I start next week on this early war project. Yes, a lot of painting but it will keep me out of trouble!That's alot of painting Pete ! Posted my efforts in the Hobby Room - I'm done !
Huh. That's a healthy serving... there's enough there that I could slip a couple of my early Albatros & Aviatik C-class kites into the queue and you might never notice!
Ah, but would they find their way back to your hanger?Huh. That's a healthy serving... there's enough there that I could slip a couple of my early Albatros & Aviatik C-class kites into the queue and you might never notice!
They're very well-trained...
