Turn 8 submitted!
Oh boy. Tell them I went west.
Turn 8 in.
Yea! OH boy is right! This flock of birds is a bit annoying! By the way, good shot!
Turn 8 on the way
turn -8 in
Turn 8 sent.
Well, I went the wrong way... meant to go after Stumptonian
Turn 8 in.... much easier now I have emails working again.
Turn 8 in ....
Good luck fellas, stick in there, second wound did for me whilst I was mixing it with these low-level hun, but got a few shots in.
A red star cluster soars above the melee - time to go boys, last one home gets the beers in :pint:
:hatsoff: Chris, this is definitely your game ! Unlucky Baz (maybe that should be your handle ?!) but you got down in the weeds with us and caused some damage :clap: Well done Pete & Dan for picking up the spares.. Mission complete, now the fight to survive ! Turn 8 in .
not a hanger in sight, lots of smoking piles though. Round 8 in
Looks like I chose to sit out an exciting one; but I'm glad some new people got a chance to play.
I did manage to clear space, so if people want, I can host the next PbEM game. I can promise something different-the hint being, "think big."
Sadly the USAS didn't seem to care about protecting their hangars. I was hoping you would only lose 3-4 of them and still be in the fight.
Well, I'll leave it up to you but this one is technically over. The Germans have destroyed every hangar for 24 points plus 2 more for one kill. Even if the USAS down every Hun with no more losses to themselves they can't catch the Hun in points.
It is just going to be a chase to the left side of the board. I am okay with ending.
Sounds good Sam, count me in.
I'll post turn 8 later today. I have to head out to get my first vaccine. Nothing local so I'm driving an hour+ to go to Gillette Stadium! I've never been there so I hope they let me get a look inside but I doubt it.
From here on out is where the USAS would have their fun chasing down the Hun as they try to exit so it should not be dull. The challenge for the Germans is to survive while the USAS try to get a kill or two. Not saying the Germans can't get a kill or two themselves.
Good luck with the jab Peter, have to chase up my second dose as the local surgery missed my 12 week date. :hmm:
DON WANNA GO HOME IT'S NOT MY BEDTIME YET:rolleyes::rolleyes::guns::guns::guns:
I'm all for running it to the end. From here on out is where the USAS would have their fun chasing down the Hun as they try to exit so it should not be dull. The challenge for the Germans is to survive while the USAS try to get a kill or two. Not saying the Germans can't get a kill or two themselves.
Good luck with the vaccine, Peter. Great scenario -- I'm definitely stealing this one as I do most of your efforts lol. Those hangars burned beautifully. ;)

Hello Sam
I'm up for it - usual condition if there ain't a Rookie who wants to play - just got to finish off these few Nieuports n I'll be ready
We need to make them pay for our lovely hangars....
I gave the Germans a special +1 point for any plane that destroyed a hangar if it left the German edge. If they leave any other edge they lose 1 point.
I didn't tell the Americans directly, I told them not to let the Germans go home. I was going to give them 3 points for a kill. As they didn't save any of their hangars points for kills are now useless.
Now it's down to hunting each other until the Germans decide to fly off board.
Count me in is there is room, Sam
:thumbsup:
