All Quiet on the Western Front
Prague, 30th June 2015
6 players, 6 planes, 4 reconnaissance targets
Date of mission: 1st November 1918
Location: Champagne-Ardenne, France, under US command
Story: During first days of November 1918, everyone smell the change on the battlefield. Offensives stopped and even the air was quiet. But Germans terribly needed to know possisions of US Field Artillery near Reims and sent two reccnnaissance planes to photo suspicious areas. But US pilots were alert. One of the last air battles of Great War just started...
Central Powers Forces: 1x Fokker E.V, 2x Hannover CL.IIIa
Entente Forces: 2x Nieuport 28, 1x RAF S.E.5a
Central Powers victory conditions: photo of all 4 targets, at least one plane has to take a photo of 3 or more targets
Entente victory conditions: shoot down both enemy recon planes before they will go back with photos
Special rules: -
Result: Entante won - they destroys both enemy reconnaissance planes.
Balance: 50 %. Too many defenders or too few reconnaissance planes.
Defenders missed the moment of surprise and attacked from the second wave.
Hitting and running Nieuports during the first photo taking.
Second photo done! But the end of the green twoseater is nearly here...
The second recon plane must retreat with just two photos after the end of the first one. But it crossed the path to his own fighter. S.E.5a is ready for shooting on jammed plane...
The second one is destroyed too. A bad day for Central Powers recon unit...
Check your 5 and fire on plane in front of you! (I shooted him donw in the last move)
The battlefield at the end of the day...
