    Just a little detail:

    He means that when playing the scenarios, you choose the enemy AI's that you'll fight against. But of course - except in pre-designed scenarios - you won't be able to choose pilots that are the adversary player's characters.

    That means you cannot fly your mission against my player characters, such as Leutnant Laszlo, only against the NPC's of Kaiser's Eagles, such as Vizefeldwebel Worlitschek.

    Here is my solo practice flight for training purposes. Not of any real consequence except for two things. I noticed that N deck has no Immelmann on the play sheets. Bad luck for SE5 pilots. Also there is no random deck for my Bristol Fighter, if I want to run that on auto.
    The trial flight was only remarkable in how many shots it took to down the Albatros as evidenced in the cards. I only showed the coup de grace.

    Zeroes and zeroes! Bad luck.
    As to SE5A, Rob: there is a mistake in the N table. the middle one (don't remember exactly - but like the others) should be an Immelmann turn.

    No problem Rob. As for the SE5a I already corrected the no Immelmann maneuvers in that deck in some post here in the Aerodrome. I'll see where it is and I'll link it here.

    Jon Gresham is a pilot in the the Roster from the beginning. (look at the first post)

    Jon Grisham is the replacement for Toby Stokes.

    Think you can't change this now, after mission No 2, cause the Eagles used Gresham for a mission.

    It's ok. We have an AI Gresham and a personal Grisham.

    Seems that we started with 25 pilots, but only 22 planes.

    ROB & PAUL, I would ask each one of you for a proposal for one additional plane.

    I would add a Nieuport 17 for test purposes...
