Staaken over Ammunition Warehouse
Prague, 12^th October 2017
9 players, 9 aircrafts

Date of mission: 12^th October 1918
Location: Central Warehouse, Roubaix, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France
Story: The war is almost over. Despite this fact Central Powers HQ gave an order to prevent Entente moving to German borders. A Staaken must bombard central Warehouse near Roubaix town in Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Allied forces are on gaurd...
Central Powers Forces: 1× Fokker D.VII, 2× Fokker E.V, 1× Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI
Entente Forces: 1× Hanriot HD.1 (A), 1× Nieuport 28, 2× RAF S.E.5a, 1× Sopwith Camel, 1× Sopwith Snipe
Axis victory conditions: score more victory points (a point for every air victory, three for successfull bombing)
Allied victory conditions: score more victory points (a point for every air victory, three for victory iver bomber)
Special rules: -
Result: CEntral Powers won - despite the fact that Staaken missed the target they shot down more enemy airplanes.
Balance: 60 %. Need to think about better ration attacking to defending airplanes.



Morning mist is cutted by four props of a giant beast. Fighters are starting.


An American Joe is approaching to Staaken like a crazy man with jammed guns. This will hurt...


It won't! Thanks to lazy German mechanics our hero is still OK and can hit his guns with a big hammer.


An English lad is starting to fire.


And Joe hit the target as in the perfect way!


Staaken missed the target and balances on the edge of Discworld... Euhm, battlefield.


Anyway, there is a path of wrackege all along bomber route. Warehouse is OK, but there is almost no fighters for next round... Central Powers defended German borders.

You may not have needed the escorts, or maybe just one Dan, those Staakens can be prickly devils. Nice to see though

[Dan-Sam]

You are probably terribly right, Dave. Staaken is a butcher May be next time

[Flying Officer Kyte]

It is true that we never actually shot one down over England.
