    White knuckle round of cut throat tomorrow evening in bud Roger's garage. One airplane each.

    Using some house rules to accommodate some requests like: Taking out the explosion cards.

    Also, using the pitch chips to add some altitude variance.

    I've attached the house rules, if you're interested.

    I also made up a nice replica WW1 medal "trophy" for the winner. (Hope I can keep it.)

    And thought I'd share these "authentic" WW1 pilot photos. Photoshop is alive and well. Made these into postcards for the boys....

    Very excited to get back to WW1, as most battles have been WW2 as of late.
    Stay tuned for what I'm sure will be a riveting after action report!

    I do like your instruction sheet Joe.
    it's the sort of thing we have been doing for the kids at shows.
    It's time to apply for your 100 Rep medal.

    Hi Joe. Love the Medals! Now looking forward to the AAR. Are your House Rules above on the Aerodrome Files? If not how do I get a copy? Tried copying the above but it doesn't want to play.

    Superbly thorough "Prep-Phase"!

    I look forward to the AAR.

    Here is the after action report.....

    Awesome battle. Lot's of duking and actually had a few instances of tailing.
    Enhanced altitude pitch chips and single card play made for a fast paced three dimensional fight.

    Great company with plenty of banter and yucking it up!

    If interested, I provided my pitch chip print files.

    PITCH CHIPS.pdf

    I made the chips with a 3/4 inch circle paper punch and a piece of chip board. Simply pop out the circles and Elmer's glue front and back to chip board. BAM!

    Pitch Chips allow a +1 climb counter to be added with any play. And sequential dive 10%, 20% and 30% dive angles, allowing to subtract -1, -2 or -3 climb counters.

    Hard to go back once you try them....

    Let me know what you think.

    Happy Flying!

    You're mind reader

    Will give them a try - maybe this weekend.
    Thanks again!
