Files: Scenario #6 Artillery Spotting Mission

One of the least colorful, most dangerous, and yet most profitable type of aerial mission flown over the Western Front was an Artillery Spotting Mission. Observers, flying mostly obsolescent aircraft, would direct the fall of shellfire onto targets mostly by wireless or signal flares. Often they worked alone, and easy prey for roving enemy fighters (Richthofen gained many of his victories against such aircraft). It was only when protecting fighter aircraft would be assigned to patrol in their vicinity that observers had any insurance against an untimely death.

Can be played either solo or multi-player (2-6)

Good hunting!
