OTT ED Mission 18: Intercept the Bombers - June 13th 1917

[Stumptonian]

Several planes out of the shrink wrap and onto the table
Messed up placing of gun jam marker costing the lives of two pilots

Oh well - at least I now have candidates for the Bring 'em Home mission ...


I corrected the last slide, but for some reason the original version still shows after my post.
Can't figure out how to remove it using Manage Attachments.

Excellent AAR!
I love your style.
REP!

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Well played but a hard day for your Eagles.

[gully_raker]

Another beautifully presented AAR Pete & certainly full of drama & crashes.
Sorry to see two of your Eagles "Buying" it but at least you got one of the Bombers.

[flash]

Great stuff again Pete - that was a bloody draw for sure ! Thanks for the Tally - spot on and written up correctly - take note chaps.
Just for info, in the tally you have the ranks of Kollberg & Niehuus reversed, and it seems your chaps were taking advantage of a blind spot that the Ca3 doesn't have so I think the War Game Gods adjusted the fate of your pilots !

If you get into Edit Post then Go Advanced in your thread, pull up the manage attachments, you should be able to check the box of the offending pic & hit X to delete it ?

Fantastic Pete. Your AARs are becoming a thing of beauty.

Thanks, Dave - got it sorted out.

Hmmm - I thought you said the Sergeants drove the bus for the Jastas In my notes I have Niehuus as the pilot and Kollberg as the Observer
Have I got that backwards ? I had them the same for the "Gas gas gas" mission (their first)
I thought the area immediately behind the tail was blind, but further out was not. Oh well - it was my guys that took the heat.

[flash]

Have it the other way round on the roster - simple fix - I shall swap them round !

[Flying Officer Kyte]

A most enjoyable read Pete.
Another on the edge of my seat again. It was a real nail biter, and in the end a very just result.
Here's to the next one.

Full action from the start Pete.
Great AAR

[Teaticket]

Another great battle Pete.
Tough luck for the Eagles with 2 KIAs. At least you can get them back in a future mission.... not that you would know that!

[grumpybear]

Enjoyed that a lot

[Stumptonian]

Thanks, guys. Getting ready for the dreaded Mission 19 ....
Hope to at least start it this weekend.
Maybe my luck will change.

[Teaticket]

Dreaded Mission 19...and I thought everyone loved it!

Pete, you are our last hope (ok, maybe Neil) at sinking that submarine. Get to it man!

[Franco Lucchini]

Excellent AAR Pete!
