WGF IF02 - Defending Pola (WGF historical scenario for 3 or 5 players)

**Carl_Brisgamer** · 06-12-2016 23:11

Pola, Adriatic Coast, 19 May 1918: About 1515hrs a flight of Phönix D.I fighters led by Fregattenleutnant Friedrich Lang took off from Altura airfield to patrol the skies over the port city of Pola. Situated at the southern tip of the Istria Peninsula on the eastern coast of the Adriatic (now Croatia), Pola was an important Austro-Hungarian naval base and frequent target of Italian bombing raids. About 1545hrs Lang and his comrades intercepted two Italian Macchi M.5 flying boats of 261a Squadriglia conducting an armed reconnaissance.

This WGF historical scenario requires 1-2 Series 8 Italian Macchi M.5 flying boats and 2-3 of the Series 9 Austro-Hungarian Phönix D.I scouts.

Are there any objectives for the Entente players other than, don't get shot down? It looks like this scenario is a last side standing game?

I ordered some M.5s to give this scenario a shot.

The Italians are there to conduct a recon of Pola in preparation for a bombing raid on the A-H fleet. To achieve that they must shoot down or drive off the Central Powers aircraft, and for the Austro-Hungarians to win they must shoot down or drive off the Italians. The Macchis are outnumbered but are more agile than the Phönix D.Is.
