    Default Gritty Goblin Games Wings of War/Glory, 11 July 2019

    We only had five players this evening. Some who said they were coming were a "no show."

    AAR #1 - Dogfight I purchased my first Dr.I at the store this evening and wanted to try it out. Todd brought Lafayette Escadrille and USAAF in honor of Independence day so I brought only German opponents. Craig and Bob flew Nieuport 28s vs myself with Kempf's Dr.1 and Todd and John flew Pfalz D.IIIs

    Bob's Nieuport is on fire with Todd in the very attractive Pfalz just misses hitting Craig.

    John's Pfalz draws the Boom card while Bob is still on fire.

    Bob draws a 5 and goes down. Now it is two against one.

    Craig, at long range, hits Todd in the fuel tank and causes his plane to explode. Now it is one against one.

    After lots of wandering all over the map, Craig is finally able to finish me off. Those 5s are real killers. Notice Craig had two 0s and three 1s. I think his airplane is attempting a victory roll.

    AAR #2 - Bomb run. Next Craig flew an Airco DH.4 (with A/A guns) on a bombing mission while four Fokker DR.Is defending. Bob flew von Richthofen's red DR.I while the rest of us used Todd's Jasta 19 Fokkers.

    Early on the DH.4 caught fire while two of us maneuvered for position depending on how he would go. We couldn't let the airplane get ahead of us since it is faster than the DR.I.

    The DH.4 crashes far short of it's intended target. [Too busy flying to get many photographs.]

    AAR #3 - Second bomb run Since that game went rather quickly, we did it a second time with Todd flying the DH.4 and the rest of us had the Fokkers. Again the DH.4 catches fire early in the engagement.

    Todd is heading for the target with us in pursuit. I don't know if we'll catch him, but I believe we can down his plane after the bomb run.

    However, Todd reveals that his airplane was destroyed twice before it reached the target. Todd just wanted to keep the game going.

    I'm not sure how I feel about this. I guess in all future games, we'll have to have someone check Todd's damage cards every time he takes a hit.

    Another one I missed. I would really like to get back to one of these someday. Too much fun is missed otherwise.

    We sometimes talk before a game about whether to put the explosion card in the bottom half of the deck. From your AARs 2 & 3 it looks like you may want to do it with the fire card!

    We typically play with double A and B damage decks. Plus there are multiple fire cards in a single deck. Moving them all to the bottom half would be a pain.
