With the federal government shutdown in effect, the drive to the Family Game Store was much quicker than usual for me. I also brought along a new camera I gave myself as a Christmas present, because my digital point and shoot seemed to be draining my batteries quite quickly. The new camera does not mean that there will necessarily be an increase in either the quality or quantity of photographs I use in these AARs.
AAR #1 - Dogfight. We had five players are the start of the session so we tried a dogfight with a Sopwith Camel (Will) and Sopwith 1-1/2 Strutter (me) against three Fokker Dr.Is (Todd, Bob, and Jim). Is this an event match? We'll see. Here are the starting positions.
Unfortunately, I did not relay my intentions to my wingman. So he went left and I went right to try to circle around the attackers. Here all three Tripes are converging on Will, while I am off to the right somewhere.
While is the card under one of the Fokkers while I am approaching from the right. Will I be in time?
Will is on fire! That cannot be good.
No, it wasn't good. Will crashes in flames.
I executed an Immelmann turn, took shots at a couple of enemy airplanes, and then curved away to head for the edge of the map. Three against one isn't good odds so the Germans won this engagement.
