OTT-The Bitter End Mission 5 - The Gifts That Keep On Giving January 1st 1918

[Stumptonian]

Quite the back and forth on this one.
I thought my Eagles had it in the bag but then the "cold" gun jam did me in.
I also have to keep track of my Ace Skills better - if I had played the Lucky Git when the 5 + Pilot came up it would have made quite a difference.
All in all an interesting mission.
Thanks, Peter

Well that was a real set too!
You produced a real nail biter there Pete. Talk about a "Close Run Thing"

Rep Incoming.

[flash]

That was a magnificent battle Pete, exciting action and really well documented - top shelf AAR
REP gun is jammed

Some things could have gone better but a good effort made by all.
Kratsch was a lucky devil and gets his second victory - Iron Cross 2nd class is coming his way
After his first gun jam v Rimmer he should have been firing B deck damage but it seems to have made little difference to the outcome.
In Beckers E&E calculation - don't forget the WIA & NML mods - in this case they cancel each other out so the result is the same.

A hard fought battle complimented by a great AAR. REP sent.

Thanks, Dave
I realized about the B Deck when I was posting the pics

I very nearly missed Becker's EET roll altogether - I think I must have looked at the total and missed the + and -

A tough fight for the Eagles, but your aces find ways to survive. I hope my fliers acquit themselves as well!
Sterling presentation as always!

Exquisite Pete.

Thanks, Guys. I appreciate the feedback.

Excellent fight and story you have given us Pete. The Entente took this one by half a point congratulations on a job well done.

I plugged my die rolls into my Excel calculator again, and it's as I suspected.
The original roll was 6 and the plus/minus cancelled each other and I saw the finals result was also a 6 and forgot to write them into the AAR

Good catch on the gun jams also - I messed up with Kratsch as well in not drawing from the "B" deck.
Luckily he didn't shoot Rimmer down ....

Would have been a probable and Rimmer would have levelled out at zero feet and RTB if you had !
