Thread: Wright Flight puts on a Naval Action

  1. #1

    Default Wright Flight puts on a Naval Action

    The Wright Flight took on a naval theme at out last action. Ray, The G Dog, supplied a beautiful assortment of German Float planes. He also provided a Felixstowe that was escorted by Sopwith Pups done up as 3 Sqd. RNAS painted by Jim, Rhodie80. It was a smart, bloody action. I think this is the first posting of pictures using both Wings of Glory and Sails of Glory mats together.

    Our second action was RNAS Sopwith Tripes against Albatros D.IIIs. This was a tough action for the Germans. The Tripes radial turns were tough to counter. This maneuverability made up for the Tripes B guns.

    Grear AAR's. The explosion card got a couple in the first game and it was fast and furious. Nice.

    Very nice to see some action over the water. Flying boats and pontoon planes are always a delight to see.
