Did my first solo dogfight today Fokker vs camel, worked out alright I played the camel solo'd the Fokker we both got some shots off at the first pass , a bit of fly in circles and then I managed to get some more shots off, I got back into position and fired of shots at close range finishing the Fokker off.
For a solo experience I really enjoyed it

Your first solo dogfight experience sounds much like mine (well, I used WII planes). It is fun and a good "hold over" between times when I can gather players together.

Flying solo againse the 'machine' can be really challenging. I love it. I'll fly 2 on 3, 3 on 3, 3 on 4 and usually get beaten. Playing the OTT solo scenarios is a blast.

Play with AI is great! Usually I dont have anyone to play with so i play solo. Richard Bradley's solo rules are pretty good, but for WWII i recommend Joaquim's rules. Bradley's rules are good, but i think that the Universal Diceless Solo Chart is more effective.

Thanks

I have played WW1 solo many many times and love it. I only recently played WW2 for the first time. I printed Joaquim's new WW2 system and hope to try it out soon.

Glad the fight went O.K. Stephen.
As you get into it more you will be able to take pictures at the crucial moments in the action to illustrate your commentary.
Well done.
Rob.

I must take a better look at these solofighting-systems. Never tryed them but as I mostly play against myself in lack of players it would be more fun to play a game where you don't know what
your oponent are going. Well I try to play as fair and honest I can but in a some situations it's hard not to make that right turn when you know what cards the other AC have layed down.

Recently I played three Snipes against three DVII. It ended with three three explosions, three Snipes down. May have ended different with some sort of AI guiding one side.
