    Not sure if this is to what you were referring, but here's one dealing with the cannon-armed SPAD S.XII Ca. It's was started back in 2009, but contains some interesting info. I'll keep looking, but it's a start.

    And Baldrick suggested step-by-step conversion instructions from a SPAD S.XIII back in 2012, but the photos are no longer available.

    Well I might as well post the rules I use here again !

    SPAD XII: 17Q1-Q418 / Mvr Deck S / Damage B+C / Hits 16 / Climb Rate 3 / Max Alt 12

    · Max 12 Rounds for Cannon (This is the real load out apparently but game adjustable)
    · Range: 1 Ruler (To tie in with the ranging of the mg - one and a half rulers I thought too uber)
    · 1 x C Damage card at close or long range (C deck adjusted to 4 zero's ie a third of the deck similar to others as aimed fire)
    · MG & cannon cannot be fired in same phase.
    · The MG was used for ranging purposes so to limit the cannon fire it can only be fired in the phase after a phase of MG fire. (This makes it a little trickier to use) and a zero counts in case you're wondering.
    · As the cockpit filled with smoke/fumes when the cannon was fired - do not allow use of the MG in the phase immediately after firing the cannon, or, start reloading.
    · Cannon takes consecutive 3 phases to reload.
    · Reload requires two straight manoeuvre cards & MG cannot be used during the reload.
    · After firing the cannon the SPAD XII must insert a stall card as its next move - this does not count as a steep card but a normal non steep manoeuvre

    This gives you a phase of MG firing, a phase of the cannon being fired and a phase of cockpit full of fumes with no firing/reloading which is on a 'non steep' stall manoeuvre.

    Successful against slow moving bombers, I knocked down 3 - one to Cannon (boom), one to MG (boom), one to a combo & with assistance from others - but I have yet to try it on a two seater or scout which will be harder to get the two successive shots on and may prompt a rule update !
