  1. Solitaire Campaign with RB Solo rules: Scenario 4 - The Wingman

    Late morning. Open blue sky, no clouds and getting hotter by the minute. Dry mouth and very hot inside the flight jacket as the Albatros gains altitude.

    "Once again, you were very lucky in your last flight, Rittmeister Joachim!" "Jawoll, herr Hauptmann!" "It was a lucky shot that ...

"You were even luckier to shot down an enemy airplane!" "Jawoll, Herr Hauptmann!" "I wouldn't have believed you if it wasn't for the report of the Oberstleutnant ...

  4. Solitaire Campaign with RB Solo rules: Scenario 1 - A rookie arrives

    "Rittmeister Joachim, I presume!" "Jawoll, Herr Hauptmann!" "So! You are the new pilot that the Command Staff sent us." "Jawoll, Herr Hauptmann!" "Are you any good? I hate to learn by heart names and then have to forgot them because the pilot made only one mission. Do you understand, Rittmeister Joachim?" "Jawoll, Herr Hauptmann!" "Very well.
