Control of the Skies
Well after a long time without playing, Pasadena Squadron took to the skies and got two dogfights in.
My son Taylor and I took the German side and, Kevin and Grant took the British side.
The only rule, we each flew one fighter and one two seater.
The last couple of times we have flown with a two seater and really liked the ensuing action.
The first fight was not much of a fight. On the first pass Taylor lost a plane to the A deck explosion card.
The very next turn I drew the same explosion card!!!! We shuffled the deck when putting the lost planes damage cards back into the pile….We won’t do that again! So in two turns its four on two. We lost both our fighters in this melee. Those two seaters turn SLOW and left us flying in circles.
It did not take long for me to lose my other plane. Taylor put up a valiant fight but went down not much later. We did not shoot any planes down! Worst game for me ever.
The second game went better. I poured a lot of lead into Grant’s two planes and Taylor finished them off. Kevin left his dogfight with Taylor to help Grant out and managed to down my last plane. At the end it was Kevin’s two seater against both Taylor’s fighter and two seater. On the last draw they both picked up the explosion card from the A deck and B deck! So Taylor wins the day for us with the only plane in the air.
I had a lot of fun even though I did not get a victory and lost all four of my planes.
I am enjoying the WWI version more and more.
The two seaters are fun to fly even though they maneuver badly.
Next time we are including some balloons.
I am updating my albums with pictures of tonight’s scrap.
