Thread: Handley Page bombers fend off Jasta 15

    Default Handley Page bombers fend off Jasta 15

    We had two brisk actions at Epic Loot today. The first one involved two Handley Page bombers holding off two D.VIIs and two Sieman Schuckerts of Jasta 15. It was a hot action. The Handley Pages dealt out three boom cards crushing the German attack. One bomber was taken down at the expense of four German planes.

    The last two pictures show a single Handley Page being escorted by a lone SE5A. They were attacked by three Sieman Schuckerts of Jasta 15. Jasta 15 gave the Handley Page a good going over but it survived the raid.

    One new addition today was Harry Materne's (matt56) new mat. He purchased it from Hotzmats and it is fantastic. Great trench graphics on it as well as a super playing surface.

    The HPs do look outstanding over that Hotzmats terrain Jim.

    The Jasta 15 planes look sweet, very nice colour scheme.

    Great pictures!

    I do like photos showing Jasta 15 in action (shame about the outcome, though).
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    As a German pilot, the sight of those 2 hulking HPs is nothing short of terrifying. Nice report; enjoyed the pictures!

    It was a lot of fun - would have been even more enjoyable had I not drawn a boom card in each game The new Hotzmat was lovely to play on - it really showed the planes too good effect.

    All the best,
    Matt
