Thread: Knights of the Valley

    Default Knights of the Valley

    We've finally decided to take a crack at the Knights of the Air campaign here at our club in the Shenandoah Valley. Now watch the game master (me) screw it up....
    Mission 1 (Battle above the trenches)

    Our first sortie was used to determine the aggressors, who will have the initiative and choose the next mission from the list. Firepower on each side was roughly equal with the Germans put up a pair of Fokker monoplanes and one Roland C.II two seater.

    The Allies flew two DH-2 and two Sopwith triplanes, the extra allied airplane being more than balanced out by the fearsome Roland with its second machine gun and near 360 degree arc of fire.

    Honors were almost even with both Fokkers being shot down and the Roland driven off for the cost of one DH-2 and one triplane destroyed. One Sopwith flown by Lt. Cdr. John Hagen RNAS was heavily damaged and despite being wounded himself, the pilot was able to bring it safely back to base.

    EIIIs vs DH2s. That is my type of game.

    Nice job Stuart. The way you decide your missions sounds a bit like a campaign we used to run here in Brisbane. We used a flow chart, I'll have to upload another copy, the old one has been lost in the server move a few years back.

    Good luck with the campaign, hope it keeps rolling and attracting more players.
