Fall In 3-5 Nov.

[Teaticket]

Fall In will be upon us before we know it. I'll be running 4 Wings games Friday night and Saturday. I only see one other Wings game listed below.

F: 203:20 A Hard Day'S Night
Friday, 8:00:00 PM, 3 hrs, Players: 12
GM: Peter Landry
Period: World War I, Scale: '1/144, Rules: Wings of Glory

After taking several serious losses on daylight bombing raids on London, the
Germans decided it was too much. They then began a night time campaign
against the British Isle.
Pilot a Gotha bomber on a night misssion to London or fly with the Home
Defense Force and defend your city from the night time intruders

S: 204:12 Escorting Trouble
Saturday, 12:00:00 PM, 3 hrs, Players: 12
GM: Peter Landry
Period: World War I, Scale: '1/144, Rules: Wings of Glory WWI

A British submarine in the North Sea has had some technical malfunction and
now cannot dive.
A German observation plane has spotted it and radios back
to the mainland. A juicy target if an attack can be made before nightfall. The
submarine also radios for help after seeing the German plane. Soon the sky
will be filled with planes. Germans and British fight it out over the North Sea
with a submarine and RN gunboats below.
The submarine is the prize the Germans are after, will they get it?

S: 205:161 Stukas Over The Channel
Saturday, 4:00:00 PM, 3 hrs, Players: 12
GM: Peter Landry
Period: World War II, Scale: '1/200, Rules:Wings of Glory WW2

Early in the Battle of Britain there was still lots of activity on the English
Channel. The RAF hoped they could protect the convoys and the Germans
kept attacking to the dismay of the Royal Navy. Fly with the vaunted
Luftwaffe, Me 109s escorting the deadly Stuka dive bombers, or be one of the
few and fly RAF Spitfires and Hurricanes to save the day.

S: 206:19 B-24S Over Rabaul
Saturday, 7:00:00 PM, 3 hrs, Players: 14
GM: Peter Landry
Period: World War II, Scale: '1/200, Rules: Wings of Glory WW2

Fortress Rabaul was under constant attack from early raids of a few planes to
massive raids. The Japanese defenses were strong and determined. As the
months moved on more planes kept shuttling in and ground air defenses
grew in numbers. This raid represents a high level bombing mission of the 5th
Air Force 90th Heavy Bomb Group.
Come fly the unfriendly sky over Rabaul either as a B-24 pilot or a pair of Japanese Army fighters.

I see one other Wings game...(Matt, you may have a groupie!)

S: 346:22 Kong- The 8Th Wonder Of The World
Saturday, 10:00:00 PM, 2 hrs, Players: 5
GM: Cliff Brunken
Period: Pulp, Scale: '1/144th, Rules: Wings of Glory

As Fighter Command orders your Long Island squadron to New York City with
a randevu point of the Empire State Building, you wonder what is going on?
When you check with Flight Control about your target, they respond with
"You will know it when you see it"

If you want in you're in Bill. I'm sure you can get a game ticket there. Even if I sell out you are in.

[NewFlyBoy]

Great! and thank you.

[NewFlyBoy]

I'll see if the powers that be will allow me to amend my registration.
B.

[NewFlyBoy]

YES !!! I was able to amend my registration and I'm now officially in the Stukas game as well. Phew...

[Bobsalt]

I wish I could go, but between finances and the long drive there & back, there just isn't any way.

What - you don't like gorilla warfare?

Well, I may go bananas over it as it has a certain a peel....

These puns are past their primates. Those engaging in further monkey business shall be gibbon no quarter!

Ryan, that was chimply wonderful !!!

[Teaticket]

Calm down boys, no need to go ape over this.

You are absolutely right...but of course Edgar Allen Poe famously said "the goodness of your true pun is in the direct ratio of its intolerability" -- but of course he might be just Raven...

[BobP]

Have my registration for FALL IN but didn't get the games selected. I will be there with a few of the B-24's and Oscars.

Bob, any game I'm running you don't have to worry about signing up, you're in if you want in. I hope we get a good turnout for the Rabaul game. Up to 6 B-24s vs 14 Oscars!

[BobP]

Someday you have to get my B-29's flying. I enjoyed the game I was in at COLD WARS so look forward to playing in any you run.

[Teaticket]

Seems the server changeover lost the photos I posted for Fall In. Lets try again. (Apologies Chris for the 'Plane That Must Not Be Mentioned'.)

Game 1, A Night Over London. This was a night time Gotha raid using the Night Fighting rules I wrote for the OTT Bitter End Solo campaign. Rules found 'HERE', better markers 'HERE'.

I was a bit busy running the game with the added night spotting rules so I did not get to take many photos. Bombers were shot down, some made it to London and bombed targets successfully.

[Teaticket]

Game 2 had a distressed British submarine that has had mechanical difficulties and cannot dive. A German observation plane spotted it and called in to HQ so an attack could be sent. Royal Navy gunboats arrived before the Germans as well as some RNAS and RFC aircraft. (Sorry again Chris. Maybe next time they will have been replaced with Shapeways!)

The sub was lightly damaged, one gunboat sunk, many planes in the drink.

German escort quickly set on fire.


RNAS Tripes line up on a German bomber.


RNAS SPAD VII and another Tripe get into it with the Huns.


Germans having a stressful day.






A German bomber feeling a bit too popular with the RNAS.


A pair of Hun close in on a SPAD's 6.








Three planes shot down at the same time.

[Teaticket]

Game 3, Stukas over the Channel. Convoy Pewitt takes a beating from the Luftwaffe. 3 ships sunk with 3 more badly damaged.

[Teaticket]

Game 4, B-24s Over Rabaul. 10 Ki-43 Oscars take on B-24s on the approach to the Fortress Rabaul. A few B-24s were shot down but enough got through to severely damage and disrupt the Japanese in Rabaul.

Bob brought some Oscars and B-24s for the battle. Oscars did make it on the table but unfortunately we needed a few more players to get his B-24s into the action.

Even with only B/A firepower, enough persistent Oscar passes can do the job against the big boys.
