    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)

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

    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.
