AAR: Photo Recon Mission

[Dwarflord22]

I had the (rare) opportunity to enjoy a full day of gaming during my Christmas-New Year's vacation! I started the day with a couple games of Wings of Glory WWI with my Wingman Coog. It was just the two of us for the first game, so we started with a two vs. two duel with Sopwith Camels (Coog) vs. Fokker Dr.Is (me). You can view the AAR for the first game in my previous post.

We had a couple young pilots walk up at the end of the first game who agreed to join us for the second game. Our youngest pilot was awarded a two-seater with a mission to obtain photos of a strategic objective and return safely to Allied lines. Coog provided an escort and provided sound advice for his first mission. The Germans flew to intercept the Allies, but were unaware of their target or mission. We played with Basic Rules only for this scenario to ease the young pilots into play.

Our excited young pilots with Coog intently focused on planning for a successful mission.


Planes closing to attack range!

Photos of target taken!


Furball!


Kempf took it on the chin early and decided to run away to fight another day!


Kirschstein not pursuing?


Kirschstein decides he has had enough!


Final Ally damage...yes, the two-seater completing the mission without a scratch!


We were going to start another game, but our young pilots had to leave. I included this one to show off my new No Man's Land playmat.

Nice to see the game being played by the younger pilots too

Apart from the engine damage Michael ? Great to see a couple of youngsters taking an interest and allowed to join in with the action.

Yeah that Engine Damage card looks far too much like a Gun Jam apart from the colour.

I am going to colour the inside in a contrasting colour, maybe Blue so no confusion.

That's a good idea, Barry. We got caught out in our last game by the engine damage card, treating it as a gun jam. The old card of interlocking gears was quite different to the gun jams and could not be mistaken. I guess that was copyright to Nexus and couldn't continue to be used.
