trying to make up a Solo mission [its hard to find opponents] for a trench strafe.

and I need some sort of AA defensive fire.

any help would be appreciated.

Any reason you don't want to use the rules written up in the official rules?

Look in the BD or Miniatures rule books.

Skytrex make a 13pdr on 9cwt truck (in 144 scale) which I belive was the standard British AAG during WW1 Skytrex also do a 9cwt truck with quad vickers mount. I have the models and recon they are all right. Alternatly you could use 6mm minature as they include MG's both in the open and in trenches, as well as a 13pdr on a 9cwt truck. I think it is worth having a look at the Skytrex and Irregular 6mm items.
