  1. Turn 10c: The Rumpler turns for home, but the Camel swoops in dealing the killing blow.

  2. Turn 10: The Camel breaks away using the Rumpler's blind zone to protect itself. The Triplane is hopelessly behind, but the Camel jockeys for...

  3. Turn 9c: More overlap. The Camel blocks the Rumpler's fire at the Triplane, but the Tripe is able to fire at the left side of the Rumpler.

  4. Turns 9b: Firing impossible due to overlap as the Entente fighters try to escape or get into position.

  5. Turn 9a: The next firing pass. The Rumpler exchanges fire with BOTH Entente scouts. (White cards as I remember that I have to use a home-made B...

  6. Turn 8: All planes circle for position

  7. Turn 7c: Return fire by the Rumpler's observer jams the Tripe's rudder... again.

  8. Turn 7b: Another Immelmann by the Triplane allows it to fire on the Rumpler. The Tripe's guns jam.

  9. Turn 7a: Follow-up by the Camel with more sustained fire. The Pfalz goes down to excess damage AND an explosion.

  10. Turn 6c: Triplane performs an Immelmann coming into the neat line of aircraft. Shots fired by the Camel and Rumpler. Tailing positions also...

  11. Turn 6a, b: Another mess of overlap. (Compounded by me forgetting the rudder damage to the Camel. Extra cards are here from the change from...

  12. Turn 5b,c: The Entente flyers turn sharply right, moving to engage the Pfalz that has come around for a second pass. Light fire exchanged which jams...

  13. Turn 5a: Sustained fire from the Triplane (at +1) rakes the Albatros, causing it to explode.

  14. Turn 4c: Entente fighters perform Immelmans to catch the Albatros as it continues turning. The Camel's guns jam.

  15. Turn 4b: The Albatros finally sweeps past... blocking the fire of the Rumpler's observer.

  16. Turns 4a: Entente scouts sweep behind the enemy. Base contact prevents fire on the Camel, while the Tripe sneaks by in the blind zone of the Rumpler.

  17. Turn 3c: ENGAGE! The Tripe and Camel let loose into the Pfalz.

  18. Turn 3b: Entente forces continue to turn with the slower Triplane turning inside the Camel.

  19. Turn 3a: Central Powers have sorted things out and are all now turning towards the fight.

  20. Turn 2c: Albatros in pursuit. The Entente now realize that reinforcements are not in the offing and start their turn.

  21. Turn 2b: A bit of confusion in the enemy ranks. "What? They went past us?!"

  22. Turn 2a: AI pilots now within 2 rulers react and turn towards the Entente scouts. "They're after us!"

  23. Turn 1: All straight ahead.

  24. Initial set up: Central Powers crossing No Man's Land - Entente on the right flank.
