    For people wishing to participate, the guidelines are;

    Step 1: Play your game/s on a Saturday and decide the overall winner (CP or Entente or other?)

    Step 2: Go to the 'Quick Report' thread and post about your match, and end the post with either CP Victory or Entente Victory for example.

    Step 3: Post up your AAR titled... AAR (SND) *then your mission name here* in Mission Discussions>Saturday Night Dogfight.
    AAR not necessary if you don't want to. It would be good to post a summary picture, of planes and the damage cards they sustained... just to verify your win/defeat etc.
    You will have until each following Wednesday to post results into that weeks entry.


    THE RESULTS

    *This will be updated until midnight GMT on Wednesdays*

    After you fought relentlessly to secure victory, the scores so far are;

    WWI (1914-1918)
    Entente = 1
    Central Powers = 1

    Victory awarded = Draw
    ----------------------------------------------


    Accumulative totals;

    WWI (1914-1918)
    Entente = 1
    Central Powers = 1
    -----------------------------------


    AAR Summary;
    People who posted AAR's this week are as follows... (will be updated as you post them up)

    # Csadn - Entente win



    There are 'old' pilots, and there are 'bold' pilots.

    Right I'd better prepare the war room then ( the conservatory ) for more mayhem, a chance to try out my new Jasta against my French planes.

    I can oblige, then -- no pics, tho'. (Still trying to figure out that dratted camera.)

    First time with the minis -- three-pack of Hanriots (two A, one B packing incendiary), against a _RW_-style observation-balloon defense (4 each cannon and MG arrayed around the balloon) and a pair of Albatros D.Vs.

    Short version: It was an exercise in "why you stay with your wingman"; the Hanriot As stayed together, and were able to cut the ground guns to pieces with massed fire, so the Hanriot B could slip in and trash the balloon (and anything else in the area); the As then repeated the performance on the Albatroses, who stayed together as well, but weren't quite able to match the gunnery of the Entente.

    End result: The Germans lost the balloon; the balloon ground crew; one AA cannon; two AA MGs; and one Albatros (two engine hits); the other Albatros was crippled (over 1/2 damage; plus one critical each to pilot and engine). The Americans (in Belgian and Italian colors -- however did three entire acft. fall off a truck? ;) ) did not lose any acft.; however, all three suffered more than 1/2 damage, and the B also took an engine and a pilot critical, while one of the As took a pilot critical. (Ground-attack in WW1 is a real b****.)

    I think I pretty-well have these missions down to a science; next time, I'll try the Germans attacking an Entente balloon, and see how it works. Attack protocol is fairly simple: Punch out one of the AA cannon first, then knock out the MGs to either side; that way the anti-balloon bird has a clear shot. And for the love of all that is decent and military, do *NOT* go haring off alone....

    Ok, that sounded like a pretty tense battle you had there!

    I will award the Entente with the victory, as they were still airborne and the Balloon, associated AA's and an Albatros were not
    So this week, the winner is?

    Nobody lol, it's a draw... but these scores all add up to the accumulative total (seen in post no.1 and in next weeks SND).
    If you missed this one, play on Saturday and post up your AAR's by next Wednesday to help secure the win for your chosen faction

    Well, like I said: I think I have the attack pattern down; dodging AA is easier when they can't bring a gun to bear without shooting down their own balloon (yes, that's happened :) ). If one wants a *really* intense experience: Try it with those *&^%$#!ing Nieuports.
