Doncaster 2017 - Through the Helmut-cam; Saturday, Game #3 (Bristols v Flying Circus)

[Flying Helmut]

Chris Hedeby's game pitting 48 Squadron's multi-Ace Bristol Fighters against the Red Baron's Jasta 11


Chris gives us the instructions..................


German opening moves - four planes head around the right side of the table...........


............to corner Keith Park's Bristol; I use my "sniper" skill, but draw only a '1' and a '0'; Park gives me a '3 + Pilot Wound' from HIS "sniper" skill


At the other table end, two Jasta 11 triplanes tackle 4 F2Bs!


Park in trouble


The two triplanes escaping trouble


Park, set on fire, legs it, a good decision, especially since the 6 planes closest to him are all German!


Both sides jockey for position


I exchange fire with Reg's Brisfit - my "sniper" allows me to deliver a BOOM! One down..............


Planes engage all over the sky


HOLD IT!!!! Chris realises that, two cards after my destruction of Reg, Reg hadn't played his "lucky pilot" Ace card, which nullifies the BOOM card! "Senior Moment" for Reg...........


.............with Reg's plane back in play, it's 'as you were' gentlemen!


At this point, we were informed that time had run out, and players were called to their next scheduled games; overall result, a 0 - 0 draw.

Great action from "The Helmut Cam" (love it)

As to the "Senior Moment" - I thought Lucky Git did not protect Juan from Le Boom ?

...As to the "Senior Moment" - I thought Lucky Git did not protect Juan from Le Boom ?

You're confusing Lucky Pilot with Lucky Git in OTT Pete...

Lucky Pilot: (basic rules) (RAP)
This pilot may choose to ignore a single damage card during the game after drawing and seeing it.
The ignored card is shuffled back into the deck.
To remember that this skill has been used discard its token.

Lucky Git I: Pilot can ignore damage from a single card except the explosion card - Once per sortie
