The Giants take to the Sky
Last night I introduced the Zeppelin Staaken and the H-P 0/400s to our group.
We did two scenarios, the first was April, 1918. Two H-P 0/400s where out bound to bomb a German rail station, escorted by a pair of SPAD XIIIs. Flying against them where three Albatros D,Va's and one Pfalz D.III. The HP's stayed close together for mutual support, and actually survived the flight.
The second scenario had two Staaken's with no support, but again, staying in close formation. Facing them three Camels and two SPAD XIIIs.
One Staaken was destroyed, and the other damaged, while three of the attacking planes where shot down.

Scenario for a single Gotha G.V?
Is there a scenario written for a single Gotha G.V? I didn't see one in my Flight of the Giants rulebook or over at BoardGameGeek.
I have a friend who enjoys playing Wings of War / Glory miniatures and is coming to visit over Memorial Day weekend. I'm planning on picking up one of the Gotha G.V minis for some scenario play. Does anyone know of a good scenario?
If not, I just may just fork over the cash and get both Gotha minis and play the "Bomb London!" scenario but, as we play exclusively with miniatures, I'm worried about the second round requirement for the Allied player to field two B-firing Sopwith Triplanes. I'm thinking Sopwith Snipes would work aesthetically as replacements, but would this affect the balance of the scenario? Should I play with Snipes but use the B damage deck?
Has anyone played the "Bomb London!" scenario and, if you have, would you care to give a scenario report or best recollection? Am I correct in my reading that this scenario ends after three rounds?
Thank you!
