... (for some) started with my Camel vs. my Jelena's D.VII. After initial face-off and some maneuvering around (i was outmaneuvered in few unpleasant occasions), I managed to play illegal Immelmann, took extra A card and put myself into excellent tailing position. Unfortunately, excellent only for my wife. It was soon over. 0 : 1.
Game 2, we switched the planes. Game was balanced, but I managed to draw two Pilots and 17th point of damage in the same phase. 0 : 2.
Game 3 matched Jelena's Dr.I vs. my Spad VII. Yeah! Fokker drew Pilot, and soon Explosion. Game over, first point for me! 1 : 2.
Game 4, we switched planes. Firs two damages I drew, were (you can guess!) two Pilots. Effective and merciless. 1 : 3.
Game 5, Jelena's Nieuport 23 vs. SS.III. Cocky Siemens pilot (read: me) expected easy victory. Well, received double shot through head (read: two Pilots). 1 : 4
Game 6. Switch, but planes only. Result was the same. My Nieuport soon perished in flames, with engine damaged. 1 : 5.
Game 7. Jelena's D.VII (now Udet, last time it was Goering) waved to my fast and furious SE5a which miscalculated distance and, While escaping double jam (house rule: 6 cards no shoot) suddenly decided to visit relatives who live of the table... Although SE5a had advanageous 9 : 2 at the moment. Nevertheless, 1 : 6.
Game 8 and new switch. Fortunately last game for tonight. Lasted longer than any previous. Lots of maneuvering and outmaneuvering done by both sides. Jelena better used altitude, and eventually, my poor pilot, flying machine with damaged engine kissed the earth. It was final 1 : 7
