We will be flying WWI aircraft, and if you have a favorite scenario you would like to run, feel free to speak up. Please respond back to this posting if you are planning to be there!!!

**rote Flügel** · 01-29-2015 18:32

Hey... I need to see whats up that day, but I think I can be there...

**BBSuds** · 01-30-2015 07:42

Beth and I will be there. I will bring my maps,planes and 2 cans each for donation.
Mike are you going to run those two scenarios?

**Beer&pretzels** · 01-30-2015 14:52

Sure, we can do those.

**crashx** · 01-31-2015 16:49

Looks like we will be in the basement this time!!! Gunnar, bring your stuff to sell!!!

**rote Flügel** · 02-01-2015 19:09

I'll bring it .. hopefully find some good homes for them., haha.. I'll be taking requests for some repaints too.. I have vision issues right now, but when thet clears up, I'm gonna do some more repainting..

Looking forward to seeing the old gang again.

**BBSuds** · 02-01-2015 19:40

Mike, I don't have the I decks you need for the Nieuport 17/23. See the other post (for sale) to see what decks I have.

Bob

**rote Flügel** · 02-02-2015 17:23

I do have a couple spare I decks.. I'll bring them

Artoftatt2 · 02-02-2015 20:06

My son and father in law will be trying to make it out to a few games.. Especially if the weather is good.. I don't think I can make February but could make March..

**rote Flügel** · 02-03-2015 16:31

What works best for you, I'm hoping we get back to a once a month game day, but ultimately it depends on availability for some of us.. but always, the more the merrier..

Artoftatt2 · 02-03-2015 16:35

Personally Sunday's are the easiest but I know that a lot of people have church and family things on Sunday's..

**Beer&pretzels** · 02-03-2015 16:46

The March event is scheduled at my place in Aurora, Sat. Mar. 7. There is a post for it, but more info forthcoming.

**BBSuds** · 02-06-2015 08:28

Mike, I have 2 B decks that I will bring for you.
Bob

**BBSuds** · 02-06-2015 08:30

Tim, what is the head count?

**matt56** · 02-06-2015 14:43

Have fun, guys! Bit of a hike for someone from Ohio, especially during the school year, but maybe if there's something going on in the summer I could make it up. Have a great time and make sure you shoot down those bad guys, whichever side they're on. Hope the weather cooperates...

All the best,
Matt

Minor amount of bad news. I have to work Sat. until around noon. Should be able to make it around 2:00PM. See you then.

**crashx** · 02-07-2015 02:59

Like Gunnar, I am going to bring some WOG/WOW stuff to sell, as well as some SOG stuff. So bring your money, cuz I sell cheap to move products!!!

**crashx** · 02-07-2015 03:03

The head count so far is 8-9, with Michael coming late. But there are others I have not heard from!!!

**rote Flügel** · 02-08-2015 01:06

Hey Scott, here is a link to the solo rules I was talking about.. very easy to understand, and be suer to print the template on sturdy card stock..

Love the mass of two-seaters! You can never have too many DH.4s (and F.2Bs)!

**rote Flügel** · 02-08-2015 15:04

It was a great day... had a great time, I stepped out of my element and flew som british planes instead of German as I usually do.. just the first game though... then flew a Gotha in the 2nd game. Never flew one before, and that was a nifty learning experience.

Hope you get some good use from the solo rules Scott. Might be worth getting the template from the drome store, it looks great and you can paint the numbers if you need to see them better.
