    Default WGF - Just Some Zeppelin Action

    Well everyone, it has been a while that a post has been made since my Brother Bob (BB401) and I started regular visits to Games Plus in Mt. Prospect, Il. We are now a group of up to 8 players at times and Facebook now has a group called Wings of Glory Midwest Volunteers Squadron. What follows is a limited action that took place on May 11, 2019. After this little AAR, see what we have in the works!

    This was a small four man get together, but in July Bob has big plans. A WGS extravaganza. We will attempt re-creation of the Battle of Midway. He has ordered Devastators and Kates to paint (making bases and decks) to supplement the other well known ARES combatants. Ship counters have been created - if this all comes together near the end of July it should be quite an event. Fingers crossed!

    Great job! That Zeppelin makes everything seem very small.

    Well presented AAR. The Zepp looks beautiful. How come it could take two boom cards without going down?

    You are absolutely correct. Two Boom cards and the Zep would be finished. The thing is the second Boom card came up so early that we decided as a group to ignore it instead of starting over. We gracious Entente pilots allowed the game to continue for which we paid the price.

    Thanks for an enjoyable AAR Willi!
    That would have been lots of fun.
    Looking forward to the WW2 battle.

    Rep deserved & inbound!

    Thank you for the A.A.R., William. Could the Zeppelin not outclimb the D.H.2's, Morane Saulnier and Be2c, if necessary?

    In a word yes Dave.

    Excellent photos and commentary!

    Thanks for posting.
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
