The Late War Campaign

**Stumptonian** · 12-14-2017 21:03

Hurrah! One of my balloons will make it to the board for the first time!

Two days I have been saving the last response I got from the 'drome in my email (yours) so I could reply.
Glad your SIL is on the mend.

**mikeemagnus** · 12-15-2017 02:19

Yo all,
I post for the first time in ages and the site goes down in disgust for two more days. Oh dear

Anyway, glad we are back up again. Re Mission 18 - New Years day it is

Re Sister in law - she is making good progress and the morphine doses are reducing. She'll be moving to rehab soon. Thanks for the well wishes - have passed them on

Jonah! Now that sounds a great first name for a new replacement pilot.

Agreed, and I bet he'd have a whale of a time - boom boom - ok somebody had to say it

Happy Xmas all!

Same here. I had too much trouble a few days ago so I'll wait a bit more.

If you continue having issues make sure to let Herr Oberst know asap, something may need a fix

The shagging select a pic at a time certainly does - that truly blows.

Uncle / Onkel / Zio is out of the office - Have a good Christmas everybody

For Entente I've got 3 Camels, a Snipe, a couple of Bristols, a couple of DH-4, an RE-8 plus four French SPAD XIII.

Welcome Edward.
A suggestion, if you don't have an appropriate plane, but you have the card for the plane you need, you can put a note at the start of the scenario saying you are using the plane with the following markings as a place holder and have a card and movement deck for the proper plane.
Or you can carry on with the older planes.

**Teaticket** · 12-27-2017 17:58

I've played with a substitute plane when necessary using the proper stats. It shouldn't really make that much difference though, the damage cards will even things out!

**Stumptonian** · 12-28-2017 08:06

I used an RE.8 as a stand in for a BE.2 (with a card from the files and the correct movement deck) a couple of missions back.
I received 3 Shapeways BE.2s two weeks or so ago so should have correct models for the next time they are needed.

**mikeemagnus** · 12-30-2017 05:41

Welcome back Uncle and a Happy New Year to everyone. Mission 18 going up today, I fervently hope

Just won't have the time tomorrow. Hope this is acceptable to all

**flash** · 12-30-2017 05:42

Go for it Mike - my table is cleared ready for set up !

**flash** · 02-15-2018 09:04

Uncle is out of the office from now until Monday - bit of R&R in Bournemouth at the Beachhead !

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 02-15-2018 11:31

Have a good weekend Dave, and don't forget the pictures!
Rob.

**mikeemagnus** · 02-15-2018 15:24

See you there Dave - looking forward to this one

**Flying Helmut** · 02-15-2018 17:44

See you there Squadron Leader, Sir!

**flash** · 02-16-2018 00:51

Arrived last night, have a day with m'lady before the show. Camera is charged Wingco.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 02-16-2018 01:06

Good man.
Enjoy the day with your good lady, and the show.
Rob.

**flash** · 02-27-2018 10:03

Pics are up - start from #45 in this thread if anyone wants to see what we got up to.

**Stumptonian** · 02-27-2018 10:21

Continuing from the Most Effective Squadrons thread ...
I didn’t check Early Doors so missed what you were referring to, Dave.
That’s kinda what I meant.
I will consolidate all three periods into a final summary when we are done if you like.
I will use the Squadron Sheet to get the figures.

**flash** · 02-27-2018 10:38

There is a summary at the end of all the campaign threads bar the current one Pete if that helps.

**Stumptonian** · 02-27-2018 11:17

Thanks Dave.
I will tackle it when we are done with The Bitter End.

**flash** · 03-07-2018 00:15

Gentlemen, a new player Thomas (Thomas NH) will be joining the campaign for the final push and flying for the Bulldogs. His participation will be a little different in that his German Element will be flown by his younger brother as well as the AI so this will be interesting to see.
Please join me in welcoming him to the Mess

Herzliches Willkommen Thomas und auch seinen Bruder von der See Adler Staffel.

**gully_raker** · 03-07-2018 00:45

Welcome Thomas & watch that Hun (your brother!) on your 6.

**tikkifriend** · 03-07-2018 01:03

Welcome Thomas to the longest running campaign on the Drome. I shall be watching the sky for you.

**mikeemagnus** · 03-07-2018 01:22

Welcome Thomas. Great to have you on board

And a big welcome too for younger brother. Enjoy, the both of you !!!!!!

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 03-07-2018 01:39

Good to have new blood with us for the last push Thomas.
It may even wake up my Italian Wing a bit.
Kyte.

**Teaticket** · 03-07-2018 06:34

Welcome to the Campaign Thomas. More Entente reinforcements

... dark forebodings for the war's outcome from the perspective of the Kaiser's Eagles.

Looking forward to your adventures.

**Stumptonian** · 03-07-2018 07:32

Welcome, Thomas (and your nameless brother).

The Bulldogs need fresh blut after my latest outing ...

**Setarius** · 03-07-2018 13:58

Welcome Thomas and brother. I do hope you enjoy participating in this campaign.
Eagerly awaiting your first AAR. Good Luck guys.

**Thomas NH** · 03-07-2018 18:27

Thanks all. Looking forward to posting my first AAR, I should be able to play the mission this week.

**flash** · 03-09-2018 10:24

Uncle will be out of the office from this evening - there may be a watching brief but that will be all until Tuesday sometime.
Don't wreck the Mess !

**Stumptonian** · 04-05-2018 21:53

Now that we are back in business I am hoping to see the April mission posted a.s.a.p.
SWMBO is away for the weekend - perfect chance to get 'er done

**gully_raker** · 04-06-2018 00:19

With the bally wounded leg still in the moon boot looks like I will have 4 to catch up on now!

Unlikely to happen Pete - BOB ( BB401) was the next person slated for a game but he has not partaken for many months and as the site was fried I was unable to make alternative arrangements. I could post a quick match up but I'm inclined to push this all back a month and give an opportunity for some of the chaps catch up with the lead elements.

**mikeemagnus** · 04-06-2018 03:08

Very wise Dave - I would vote for that one. There are quite a few who haven't posted for some time and, maybe, once you get too far behind, the whole thing becomes too daunting

Baz - sincerely hope that the moon boot will be removed in the not too distant future! Can't be much fun trying to get about with that weight stuck on the end of you !!!!!!!!

**Teaticket** · 04-06-2018 04:59

If Bob (BB401) is out of action I have a mission I can put in when one is needed.

**flash** · 04-06-2018 07:01

OK, I'll make this official - All squadrons will be moved to a rest area for this month - hopefully those able will be able to catch up or at least reduce the deficit somewhat and we will recommence operations May 1st -
A volunteer is better than a pressed man so I will take you up on your offer Peter if you'd like to jump in on May for us with something for early September 1918 - we're nearly there chaps

**Stumptonian** · 04-06-2018 08:24

No worries. It will give me a chance to try out the London’s Burning game I received a couple of weeks ago.
Or another test of (coincidentally) BB401’s Battle of Britain scenarios.

**Setarius** · 04-06-2018 10:10

Sounds good to me Dave.

**tikkifriend** · 04-06-2018 10:54

Dave my Mission 18 AAr has been lost in the latest glitch

The result was an RFC victory with the balloon getting to the ground Smitt and lange got a plane each bringing down Boddy and Ashford if that's any help . Not going to re run the game but will move on to Mission 19 if that's good for everyone.

Fingers crossed thtas the last of the Gremlins for this year.
