OTT BE Mission 25: Last Gasps - 4 Nov 1918 {Stumptonian}
Well that was painful ...
Loading the pictures, that is.
82 pics - one at a time. Not sure what happened, but I had better get this posted before I have troubles.
It was definitely a fun mission for my Adler - not so much for my Bulldogs.
Another triple ace to find another skill for - will let you know Onkel.
What a romp Pete ! Four against six & they all got home is a wonderful result for the Eagles, and that's before you count their victories - their marksmanship skills are paying dividends now. I'm not sure what Lister was doing, why didn't he dive out of the action or fly straight out of the battle area ? He deserved to be shot down, what a sitter!
Onkel says:
Ausgezeichnet ! We really showed the Tommy's what for again and we have more victories to celebrate
Max Wolfram is awarded the Knights Cross - Military Order of St Henry (KC)to honour his fifteenth victory.
And promoted to OberleutnantHe is also getting the drinks tonight !
PM me his ace skill Pete.

Well that was a humdinger and no mistake. Excellent narrative, when Roper was shouting at Corky to wake up, I was shouting too. Glad he did in the end.
As always very well presented although you seem to have moved it on further, and that was a lovely last shot of the Fokkers flying home, excellent backdrop.
82 photos, what a marathon, it had everything.
Actually he was heading for the barn as soon as he was hit with engine damage.Originally Posted by flash
The flames would have done him in in the end, I think.
I was going to treat the smoke he drew while on fire as extending the flames with another 3 draws.
Schmidt took away the need for that ....
Yeah but if he'd turned right & gone off the edge nearest to him he would have had less lead to carry ! The smoke wouldn't effect him as it was from a fire damage card & not counted anyway.

I thought he had to leave from the Entente edge, not the nearest - my bad I guess.
And ‘doh’ on the smoke - I always used to cover the special damage with the flame marker.
Put it down to fatigue from handling 10 aircraft ....

What an accomplishment you had there. Five Entente pilots out of action for the rest of the war. A triple Ace. a potential triple Ace and a potential 4 time Ace as a possibility during the next mission and a promotion to boot.
How will you top it for the final mission?
Congratulations on a job well done.
Thanks, Dale. I can’t see my luck holding on ...
The Marksman skills really help my guys, that’s for sure.
The next mission is the last, so losing a pilot or two won’t be as tough to take.
Wow Pete you sure "creamed" us in that one.
Those Marksmen Skills are paying off big time for your Aces.
Interesting you had problems uploading your pics as I too had some difficulties with my pics in Mission 24.
Rep Inbound.
Thanks, Baz. I certainly didn't think this one was going to play out the way it did.
A lot of zeros and ones in Schmidt's early card draws.
Not sure what has changed on the photo upload front - I used be able to upload multiple pics in one go - now it's one at a time.
My Gold Membership was renewed a few weeks ago, so it shouldn't be that.
Nice work there Pete, it might have been a last gasp but your Eagles did the business. Those marksmanship skills certainly pay dividends. REP inbound.

I think it might have something to do with the "Flash Icon" which used to appear up the top & you could click on it to allow Flash.
That option has disappeared now.
I had nothing to do with it !
Think something happened after the last hack re-boot; there was an Adobe flash player icon that you could utilise and it allowed the multi selection but that has long gone & you can no longer select multiple pics to upload, you can select 1 at a time to a max of 5 to upload at once. Very frustrating.

Nice one Pete. Congratulations on a damn fine performance by the Adlers. Showed 'em what for! You now have a bunch of serious aces to fly with - remind me to keep well away from themGrrrrrrrrrrrrr
And congrats to Max Wolfram for his promotion and gong
