Thread: Not one picture!

  1. #1

    Default Not one picture!

    Unfortunately chaps, I had a major camera malfunction last night and not one photo was actually stored in my camera memory!

    The scenario was to fly the HP Bomber on auto card movement to the end of the gaming mat and back whilst it was being attacked by Goering and Starick in their DV.II's. A couple of staunch escorting Se5a's contested the Central Powers duo.

    The Central Powers Aces had 3 Ace cards each to try and level the playing field and even so we reckoned it was going to be a close game.

    The result was that it was not a close game! Due to their incredible speed one Se5 flew right past Starick's plane and copped a fair pasting in doing so. By the time that Se5 turned around he was too late to help the bomber that was taking an absolutely pounding from the Goering machine. Though all Entente planes landed hits on the attackers it seemed that the bomber and escorts were doomed to failure. First to fall was the Se5 piloted by Wayne who received a boom card! He was flying closer to the bomber and tried valiantly to fend off Goering (piloted by Mark) but in vain. We then did a crew shuffle with me tasking over control of the bomber and Wayne the remaining Se5. Starick (Doug) and Wayne in that remaining Se5 battled it out as the Se raced to the rescue of the bomber. Alas, with Goering on the bombers tail and the bomber having a jammed rear gun the end came swiftly with yet another boom card followed with a 3 point damage card to send his total to 32 damage points!

    Not a good game for the Entente. That bomber did not survive even one length of the playing mat! The bomber received two jams and a fire card that both limited offensive effectiveness and contributed to his demise. One Se5 piloted by me was out of position and did little to defend except to himself against the attentions of Starick. The other Se5 fell quickly to Goering in his white bird of death!

    Well done to Mark for achieving the two kills. Well done to Doug to minimizing the impact of one of the defenders too. Those Ace skill cards worked well and were used to maximum effect.

    I worked out where my photos were. I no longer use my old phone as a phone and it does not have a sim card in it. The system date was out of whack and it has put a date of April 2012 on all my pictures. As photos are sorted in date order they were not showing up as taken yesterday. Anyway here they are:-

    Sorry, I do not know why some of them appear upside down! They do not look that way in my photo directory.

    Nice one guys. That looks to have been a great scenario to play. Re the upside down pics - looks like the photographer was doing a barrel roll at the time - quite like the effect

    And thanks for the heads up re using phones without a sim card - that's worth remembering

    Superb looking shots of your game Gary.
    Don't fret about the strange ways of the upside down fairy.
    We all get visits from her from time to time. Should be O.K. now.

    Some people have all the luck. Stark had two collisions for 0 damage, and only one shot fired at him.
