    Default Battle of Britain

    Hi guys,
    Last friday, we made a test for the battle of britain campaign. Mades some rules'changes and have a lot of fun.We used spécial rules for "bail out" ( the ones from the files ) for the DCA ( just roll a D6) and collisions ( D6 too )and radar( D6) Here are some pictures:
    mission card

    4 hurricanes,2 spitfires, 4Me109, 3 Stukas, 1Heinkel 111
    The British have to protect a convoy , coming from the south-west , heading to Dover.( 10pts if they protect more than half convoy, 5 pts if they protect less than half))
    Of course the germans have to strike it.( 10pts to destroy half the convoy, 5 pts if less). They 've got a other mission : for 5pts they can strike the harbour.
    nobody wins...
    the britains shoot down a Stuka (1 pts)

    so the german can't strike half the convoy so they got only 5pts.

    but the heinkel 111 can get to the harbour( 5pts)


    and a hurricane was shot down (1pts)and the pilote bailed out.
    we had some good dogfigths

    well, i'll try...
    So the british planes were at ground level, the germans at 3 for the bombers ,4 for the fighters.
    I divide the mat in three egals part: axies territory , noman'sland, allies territory.
    First the Britains roll a D6 to know if the radar catch the germans at the bigining of the battle. 1or2 they see the germans. But they missed , so i put the germans in the noman'sland territory...
    The british managed to get to the right altitude before the germans arrived .
    At the third turn ( six cards) the convoy get on the mat from south-west .
    I was running all the bombers.The stuka's run toward the convoy( and my escort let me alone!! to get to dogfight) , in this time the heinkel111 try to get to the harbour.
    so southwest you 've got 3 stuka's against 2hurricanes and 2 spitfires and in the East you've got 2 hurricanes against 4 Me 109.
    I made a rule call " radio" that's mean that alliées or axies can talk about what they intend too and show eachother theirs cards ...I give a lot of "radiocalls" to my figthers , because i need help but they didn't mind ,they stayed in the excitation of their dogfight
    So i loose a Stuka , going down in flammes.........I tooked 2 hits on the boats ( not enough to get all the points !)
    During this time one hurricane was shoot down by my supposed air cover. The british pilote bailed out( roll a d6: on 1 your parachute don't open..When your are in the water roll a d6 again:1/2 you get to drown), in the Chanel and was rescue by an englishboat.
    The heinkel 111 succed in his bomb hit et try to get back to this marvellous France , his wines, cheese and lovely Frauleins
    The plane tooked direct hits from a hurricane and DCA ( roll a d6 : on 1/2 it's a hit , roll a d3: you've got your dammages) , can't turn left any more, but successfuly get to his territory ( 30 pts of life , perhaps it's too much...).
    With the remaining 2 stuka's I managed to get back to my territory with the help of my cover. No more casualties after that . We had time to make two dogfights after that mission. ( ihope my english is not so bad.....)

    Fox is still viewing the Drome Paul, but has not posted since the end of 2011, which is a great pity.
    I am just catching up with all these WGS AARs.
