I know this is late...

So... I plead ignorance. I played Scenario #15 last month, and duly posted it to my pic folder. Not here. Completely my bad. Didn't even realize it until recently... so I thought I would do so know. It's my first AAR, and my first time using the AI rules with more than a single opponent.

My apologies for the picture-intensive nature of the thread... I was trying to let the photos do the talking for me, but don't know how to include thumbnails instead of full pics.

So... a fun scenario over all. Quick thoughts? The AI is much better than I expected. I was completely outclassed by the two Camels, something that has not typically been the case when flying a Dr.1. In fact, were it not for a couple of lucky draws, the RFC would have carried the day. As it was, this was a marginal victory for the Luftstreitkrafte... they destroyed the bridge and one scout at the cost of one scout shot down in flames, severely damaged two-seater, and a wounded pilot. The tanks will need to find another pass across the river.

Looks like you had a blast Chris, liking the extreme close ups in some shots too, all you have to do now is start to tell the story !

**Nightbomber** · 02-18-2013 12:08

Well done Chris

Thanks for sharing the pics!

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 02-18-2013 12:14

Excellent 1st AAR Chris. A picture tells a 1,000 words. Liked it very very much.

Lots of drinkypoos in the mess methinks:

Well it worked for me.
I did enjoy the pilots eye view of the Hun getting a bit of the treatment.

Thanks for posting Chris.

Tasty! Especially like the 'over the wing' shot from Elwoods Camel. Puts you right in the action!!!

**tikkifriend** · 02-18-2013 13:58

Great pics & the captioning really worked IMO.

**Marechallannes** · 02-18-2013 23:47

Great first AAR, even if you worked only with headlines, Christopher.

Nice pictures.

Thanks for the rep and all the kind comments, gents... I'll work on extending the text a bit for the next one. Too many pics, or just not enough text?
Thanks again!

Isn't it a sad comment, how frequently the human players get wiped by an "AI"? >;)

Hey! I said outclassed, not that I got wiped...!?! They're completely different!

Or high praise for how well developed the AI is...

**tikkifriend** · 02-20-2013 02:16

Given the news coverage this last week or so in the UK I would check those Camels are really 100 % Camels and not another plane in diguise

No -- I'm going to stick with "Most of the players around here are the reason pilots of the time were known as 'The Twenty-Minuters'". >;)

Because I am a Self-Righteous Bastard. :)

And, no doubt, bullet-proof.

You're underselling yourself Chris.

I'm sure plain English would do.

Never too many pics. Nice to have some story lines to tie them all together.
