    Default I may be bias but i found this dogfight to be rather pretty

    Tonight Muttley and i had a sizeable game pitting some of Jasta 18 up against a flight from 4th AFC, The Germans fought valiantly and outmatched the Aussies for skill.....however as it turned out the Aussies are rather better shots, anyway i thought this photo was rather pretty and thought id share

    You're not wrong Rob; with two smoking & one on fire Simon must've been confident with his start

    One picture is worth a thousand words, and I am just thankful when anyone shares them with us.
    Thanks for posting this Rob. I'm sure Muttley will get over it eventually.

    Nice pic. Thanks for sharing - perhaps you could share the whole story with us too! I'd love to know how it was that skill failed against better shooting!

    To be honest there isn't much to say after the great start every time Jasta 18 shot it resulted in a 0 or 1 and everytime 4th AFC shot catastrophic damage was had, 2 pilots were killed after previously being wounded 1 Fokker VII exploded and the others picked up a string of 3's 4's and 5's.
    I was completely outflown but thanks to a lot of luck from the Damage cards i won :/

    That photograph makes me think that Jasta 18 were lured into an ambush. It looks like they attacked the two S.E.5a's in the top left corner and then the other S.E.5a's came swooping in from the flank.

    Thumbs up

    Aussie!, Aussie! Aussie! Well done Cobbers!
    I must say a great photo & I too think J18 has the very best Colour scheme.
    Here are my two.
