B29 over Japan
Hello , We made a big game last saturday.
traduction from our forum with deepl.
You're a pilot with the 47th Sentai, nicknamed the 47 Ronins.
The 47th Sentai (air group) went down in history as one of the best and most effective fighter units of the Imperial Japanese Air Force (IJAAF) during the Second World War. It earned its reputation mainly through its success in the fight against B-29 bombers during the Allied strategic offensive aimed at the heart of Japan. In fact, the unit came second on the list of "B-29 fighters", behind Major Kobayashi's famous 244th Sentai and ahead of the 302nd Kokutai (Naval Aviation Group), led by the charismatic Major Kozono.
2 scénarios

specials rules
Movements/collisions:
Bombers are half-movement with an i deck,
No loss of points on your plane during a collision/avoidance between fighters, you can't shoot but you can be shot at.
In the event of an avoidance/collision maneuver with a B29, you can't shoot, but the bomber can shoot at a fighter other than yours (you're the one avoiding the collision...).
Table exit (for fighters)
A fighter can leave the combat zone (table) and return :
By the same edge: spend 1 turn
By the opposite edge: 2 turns
By an adjacent edge: 2 turns
Tirs
Night shots: only at close range unless there is a searchlight.
Shooting a bomber at close range: roll a D20 on 18+ and the plane explodes (bomb bay).
Explosion: Explosions are effective, but the pilot can attempt a parachute jump.
Searchlight:
Each turn, on a D6, a searchlight can "snag" a bomber. (D rolled by MDJ)
6+ on the first roll, if the target is hooked on the following turn, roll 5+, if the target is still in the beam on the 3rd turn, roll 4+ etc....
Once you've reached 1, go back to 6+.
DCA
Pilots throw a D8, the points obtained are DCA bonuses.
Shinten Seikutai percussion tactic (Striking Sky) 1 time for each pilot on the second part)
Percussion, deliberate boarding.
Roll 2 D20s to determine the B-29's damage. A result of 2x15+ results in a critical, the B-29 is destroyed.
The pilot also rolls 2 D10 for damage to his own aircraft:
He loses in points the equivalent of the dice result.
If the result (critical) reaches the aircraft's total structure points(17), the pilot is dead; otherwise, he parachutes out and re-enters the race with another aircraft in the sector of his choice.
Dead pilot: the player re-enters the game with a new plane and a new pilot. All previously acquired points are lost.
[Life points:[/color] fighters :17 ,B-29 :60
Bonus card
Scoring:
Unlike in previous games, only the total damage inflicted by each pilot with each shot is taken into account.
The final destruction of a B29 gives an extra 10 pts.
The fighter's damage points are deducted from the total points earned.
Performing a shinten sekutai (and coming out alive) gives an extra 10 pts.
Trophées:
A trophy for night combat
A trophy for day combat
A trophy for the best pilot in both games
Figurines for each player and trophies

[Part 1 in the morning[/b]
A night bombardment, the pilots get to grips with their mounts and we immediately notice the regulars.
Dominique emerged victorious from this first game and was awarded the trophy for best fighter.
Victory points minus loss points.
1 Dominique 103 pts ( 2 destruction of B29 53 +58 pts)
2 Anthony 41 pts ( 1 B29 destruction 44pts)
3 José 39 pts( 1 B29 destruction 39pts)
4 Pierre 24pts
5 Philippe 21 pts
6 Jean-Luc 15pts
7 Pascal -9 pts
As the map was very small, the pilots had to fly as close as possible to the B29's. They had to choose between firing horizontally (at the same altitude) or with the back gun (one altitude level lower).
The new points and time system works better (your opinions) and gives all the pilots a better chance, even if Dominique still wins :roll:
Destroying bombers, whether with the D20 or by firing the explosion counter, is bound to make a huge difference (provided the B29 has any life points left).
[Part 2[/b]
[Daylight bombardment:[/b]
Unloaded of their cargo, the B29s go a little faster, to the dismay of 2 pilots (Dominique and Pierre) who have positioned themselves within 6 hours of the B29s (the entry on the game carpet was at choice with all the information).
A quick exit (and return) for Dominique and a relentless effort for Pierre, who eventually caught up with the bombers.
Several Shinten seku Taî: 2 for José, who makes it out alive, one for Pierre, who also makes it out, and our Pascal, who dies in the wreckage of his aircraft, leaving him with 0 points at the end of the game (nothing ventured, nothing gained, and here he tried and got nothing, so he won't be committing seppuku, but it's not far off
A feat for Jean-Luc, who managed to get 3 explosions out of 216 :shock:
In the end, Jean-Luc wins this 2nd game.
1 Jean-Luc 146 pts
2 Philippe 127pts
3 José 94 pts
4 Pierre 87 pts
5 Dominique 59pts
6 Anthony 50pts
7 Pascal 0pts
The B29s are not there yet
Myself trying to explain the principle of looping with WOW cards
It's not easy
Shinten Seku Taï
[Results for both games [/b]
Despite his exploits in the second part, Jean-Luc remains behind Dominique, who saves his first place by just one point. At the back of the pack was our Pascal, who died attempting a collision on one of his last laps and lost all the points he had previously earned.
[1[/b] Dominique 103 pts+59pts=162
[2[/b] Jean-Luc 15pts +146 pts =161 pts (one point from first place)
[3[/b] Philippe 21 pts +127 pts =148 pts
[4[/b] José 39 pts +94 pts=133 pts
[5[/b] Pierre 24pts +87pts= 111 pts
[6[/b] Anthony 41 pts+50pts=91
[7[/b] Pascal -9pts+0pts =-9pts( pilot transferred to kamikaze units....
Thanks again to all, a great day at the Nerviens.
