    Default My current obsession Bleriot LXVII

    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 . . .

    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.
