. . . Thanks! Just the way I like them, rare and crunchy : )
I love the multi-wing, multi-engine experimentals of this time!
You have to wonder at it all, with lines like this in the testing reports: "it crashed and was destroyed at the end of a brief flight" or "first flown in 1918, but disintegrated in flight on January 22, 1919" - makes for some interesting cards in the maneuver deck and a few additions to the damage deck . . .
Mini, complete with free hammer....
It sounds to me like you need to play an explosion card on every third turn with this plane.......
Your elves will have to work some special magic to make one which will fly.
Love the fluted wings .
