    The RE8 from 16 Sqn (Counter 2) has one hex left to recon, but a navigation error sends them further into Hun land than they wanted. Little do they know, a German flight has just launched from Phalempin and is heading towards them.

    Scenario 2[/SIZE]


    The air was chilly and still. A light drizzle had fallen most of the day and a low fog had kept planes grounded. So many hands of Hearts had been played, that when the call for the pilots came, the complaints were half-hearted at best. As the planes were rolled out and fueled, the spotty cloud and still wind promised an evening of good flying. As two RE8s took off in succession, the aerodromes in the Arras sector ...

  3. End of Scenario 1

  5. Turn 13

    Albers fights to recover control from the dive he threw himself into trying to escape the 5 Spads chasing his after he blew up the observation balloon last turn. He plummets nearly 4,000 feet out of control! The ground is coming up fast! Will he recover in time??

    12 Sqn completed a second artillery spotting mission and is now returning to base.
