    Unfortunately work and family life are taking precedence so I will have to withdraw from the late war campaign.

    Hi Neil,

    Sorry to hear that mate, but I know how that goes.

    Hopefully you will still find some time to push planes around the table.

    Cheers,

    Carl.

    Hi Dave,

    I have finished a draft of my December mission, and will playtest this weekend. Should I submit it for review to yourself or any other campaign moderator?

    Cheers,

    Carl.

    Please don't drop out. If you can only get in a game every other month or three we would still love seeing your AARs.

    You can use the whole deck for its verbiage Pete, just ignore the skull results and roll as usual - this is under Explosion Card in the rules.

    Sorry Carl, missed this earlier. There is no requirement for anyone to review a BRF before it's posted but I'm happy to have a look if you want to PM it to me.

    Hi Dave,

    How much lead time do we allow for posting mission briefings?

  18. #68

    Default

    Usually we aim to post them on the last day or two of the previous month or on the first of the month - if you post them a week before the keen ones will have flown them before the month they are intended for !

    This I second with the Hannover CL.IIIA having just overtaken the Halberstadt CL.II into becoming my favourite Central Powers aircraft of The Great War.

    Only got Bauer / Von Heingl Edition to get my hands on and I will have all three in my own collection.

    Should the Pfalz DIIIa be available in November? I don't see it on the list. It would be nice to use it and not have those unfortunate permanent gun jams.

    As Far as I know it was available from August 1917 for Jasta 10

    Yes, I think that was the DIII which had its guns buried in the fuselage. Because of pilot complaints the DIII was changed so the DIIIa put the guns where they were accessible to clear when jammed.

    I flew a Pfalz DIII in mission 21 and was lucky not to have a gun jam, at least on the Pfalz.

    It was listed against the August entry *Pfalz D.III: Aug17 (D.IIIa Nov17). A hangover from the original list that didn't get that far. It now has its own listing under November.

    As a rookie to the solo campaigns, I have a question about the assignment of pilots for the enemy and allied AI pilots. Do I pick the enemy pilots from the spreadsheet or are those assigned? For the allied AI pilots (for first mission - the scouts) do I pick from my pilots or are they anonymous? Ok - that was two questions I reread the rules thread and it was not clear to me. Thanks!

    Hi Joe,

    The spreadsheet for Entente players here - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...=2&pli=1#gid=2 - on the 'Bulldogs Late OTT' sheet has two squadrons with your name beside them. The Bulldogs Squadron are your pilots, the Kaiser's Eagles Squadron are your opponents.

    You can assign your Bulldogs pilots as you see fit, but you can only actually control one aircraft per scenario. For example in the current OTT mission although the Entente fields 2 scouts and 2 two seaters only one of them is actually controlled by you, the others are played using the AI rules templates (or app). The Central Powers aircraft are also AI controlled but you can assign any of 'your' German pilots to those aircraft.

    Does that help?
