    Default Early Doors Extra Mission: Nerves of Steel - Blackronin

    Background

    There is a story spreading through the trenches. The Knights of the Air are meeting and engaging in combat over and around a bridge. Both German and Allied have a code of conduct. If you take out an enemy at low altitude, you must then pass under the stone bridge to prove your mantle. Men make excursions to see their heroes fight and make amazing stunts. This won't last, some say, the brass - any brass - will soon destroy that bridge.


    The Scenario

    The scenario is played at treetop level. The table has a bridge in the middle, a river and a road. The fields around it are naked.



    The Rules

    The player has two scouts. The AI has three. The player's pilots must have at least one kill already.

    Each time the player's planes shots down an enemy plane they must pass under the bridge. They can pass over the bridge whenever they want, but when they decide that they will test their skill they cannot touch with any part of the plane the bridge walls. If they do so, they'll take the plunge. For the AI, give them the center of the bridge as target. When they cross draw a D deck card. If there is damage...

    The planes will play with only one altitude pin when they are crossing under the bridge.

    Final Notes: This is a tribute to the Blue Max movie. This is an extra mission. Feel free not to play it. Only a fool would do it...

    Somehow this senario seems to be made for a Dr1. Small and agile

    This is an extra for those that wish/have time to play it, it is not an official OTT brief and results are not to be tagged as AAR.
    No facility is being made to record results so have fun with it

    And should work about as well as it did in the movie.
