Pflanzer and I are gonna be hosting a couple games next weekend, and I wanted to get some feedback and see if anybody'd be interested in playtesting the scenarios to help debug 'em.
Balloon scenario: Score +1 points for each enemy balloon downed, -1 for each friendly balloon popped. (Yes, a DOUBLE LOSE is possible!) All planes have incendiary bullets. Suggested timeframe is before June 1917. Recommended aircraft would include:
->1-seat: Nieu. 17/23, Sop. Camel, Alb. D.III, Pfalz D.III, Alb. D.Va
->2-seat: DH4, RE8, Rol. C.II, Rump. C.IV
Bomber scenario (Tony has two custom Gothas): Entente scores +1 points for each enemy bomber downed, -1 for each enemy bomber to get through, Central Powers reverse. Each team will play once as Entente and once as CP, scores will be added together to determine victory. (Yes, a DOUBLE LOSE is possible!) Suggested timeframe after June 1917. Recommended aircraft would include:
->1-seat: SE5a, Sop. Camel, SPAD XIII, Alb. D.Va, Fok. Dr.I, Fok. D.VII
->2-seat: DH4, RE8, Br.14B2, Rump. C.IV, Ufag C.I
Optional Extra: Bag the Baron: Requires RDS Brown Camel and red 425/17 Fokker. Primary scoring: whoever gets the kill on MvR with least damage taken in return wins. (Tiebreaker: fastest kill.) Secondary scoring: if Primary not met, whoever survives the most turns before being downed wins.
Any ideas? I'd test some myself, but I don't have anybody to spar with and I'm afraid to unpack the minis for a solitaire test because my senile grandmother (who I'm stuck babysitting for a while) might break 'em.
