Get Lt. Henri Defense out of there!
Prague, 23^rd September 2014
4 players, 4 planes

Date of mission: 15^th June 1918
Location:Lille, part of France under German occupation
Story: After a succesfull secret mission of Mr. Henri Defense of Belgian Army (Indiana Jones), French intelligence needs pick up the spy from the enemy territory. They send a Breguet with an escort to this dangerous mission.
Central Powers Forces: 2x Siemens-Schuckert D.III
Entente Forces: 1x Breguet Br.14 B2 (A/A), 1x SPAD XIII
Central Powers victory conditions: destroy Breguet with or without a spy
Entente victory conditions: pick up the spy and escape with him
Special rules: Landing and take off rules. Breguet can not shoot from the rear gun until the spy is onboard.
Result: Central Powers won - they destroys Breguet just few moves after picking up the spy.
Balance: 60 %. The mission was disrupted by poor setup (see Note).
Note: It is necessary to setup the game in way that Breguet will be positioned in a multiple of 60° to the airfield (9x27 cm). In the other case, the Breguet would collide during the landing everytime.

Setup of the game - the Breguet is not in a multiple of 60° to the airfield (bad setup).


First attack to an enemy fighter - set the fire! The other fighter is preparing a good attack position.


And the next attack: SPAD (mine ) on the tail of Siemens - 2x A damage cards.


SPAD covers Breguet's tail...


...and Siemens strikes back! Ouch...


After Immelman Manuevre the hunt begin. Breguet is landing...


And crash! (2+3+4 damage) Both fighters in attack possition.


The Breguet is preparing to take of and the first fighter attack. The second one is attacked by SPAD and...


...and it is shot down in the next turn!


Breguet is taking off...


...turn to the left and changes bullets with the enemy fighter...


...and it is shot down. Mission failed. Mr. Defense must cross the no-man's land alone.

Looks like an excuse to run the mission again to me Daniel.
You must get Jones out or my time line for the later war will be compromised.

Oups! And I though how unique idea I had!
May be the next mission will rescue him, but I am sure Indi is able.to get through nom-man's land as easy as MacGyver with papperclip

Looks like Indiana Jones is going to make another movie!
Great!
Thanks

Adding Indy to this scenario is a very neat idea!

[flash]

Catch me if you can ! Good effort, shame you were denied success

Sorry Daniel. My mistake.
I should have read what you said better.
It was Dr Henry Jones, Indie's father, I used in my game because of the time line.
Indie would be very young in 1917 when my AAR was set.



So you can do as you wish with our hero. Rescue him or no as you please.

Was he not 14-16 when fighting for the Belgians?

[Dan-Sam]

Indiana Jones was born on July 1, 1899 in Princeton, New Jersey. Henry Walton Jones (his father) was born on December 12th, 1872 in Scotland.
Now, it is clear

By the way, http://indianajones.wikia.com is a great source of information

Thus by glibly introducing a character into one of our scenarios in a cameo role do we dig ourselves a great pit of background research into which we fall never to be seen again. And to think that I unwittingly included Air Commodore Raymond into the same AAR as well.
Hell's teeth and buckets of blood, what have I got myself into.

Correct me, but if I remember well, Bigglesworth was born in 1899 too Nice, these two heroes are the same age
