    Default Wings of Glory at the Comox Air Force Museum - June 2019

    Another "Last Saturday of the Month" at the Comox Air Force Museum has come and gone.

    I decided to bring out the Zeppelin and it actually brought out a crowd. Four other pilots attended, and the Zeppelin didn't survive. Consecutive Boom Cards hit the gas cells as the game progressed, and with only about 50 points of damage, the Zeppelin had lost 12 of 16 gas cells, crashing to the ground. It did take three planes with it. I flew the Zeppelin, as Shane [Skyguy001], Nikolas, Mike E, and new-comer Ryan attempted to defend England.

    Once the Zeppelin debris was cleared away, we did a two-on-three dogfight, just for amusement. So, Wings of Glory got played, and some history got discussed, as well as initiating a new player into the game.

    And after a hard day flying, although not space ships, I relaxed with a brew:

    Glad you got to play some good games this go round, Mike.
    I think Snoopy would enjoy your 'beverage of choice.'

    Intergalactic Root Beer! That will go great with BSG. I doubt it will be available in my area. I'll have to see what is around.

    Great show again at Comox. You're doing great giving new pilots a flight or two. Hope they come back for more.

    Great job, Mike!

    Promoting the game, showcasing the "extras" which can be sourced for the game, and introducing new players. Couldn't be better!
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
