Played at 8:am in the morning at Guns Of August 2014
Air attack on Malta. A raid early in the Malta defense along the southern coast.
Forces:
Italian: Two SM-79 bombers escorted by three CR-42`s and a C.200.
RAF: Three Gladiators MK II and a Hurricane MK II.
Set up. The attackers started two firing sticks from the coast. The Defenders over the Island.
Too say that this game was an hour long fur ball would not be an exaggeration! With ten players in total and half being novices it was an amazing game. My friend Rich
was the only RAF player with any experience. Their best plane in the hands of the youngest player. This marked the first use of the CR-42 and Gladiator they were found to be
maneuverable if under armed.
In the end the Italians were the holders of the high ground. They swept the RAF from the skies. They attacked the airfield and had a bomber and two fighters survive.
A truly epic game!
