Today I spent the day with Rob (Rabscallion) at his 'drome for a day of Wings !
Having missed Bovi last weekend he was keen to get in the air and I was happy to oblige..
We started with a two on two scout skirmish between a Nieuport 11, DH.2 combo and a pair of Alb D.III as a warm up - The allies were victorious but I neglected to get any pics.
I then broke out my latest Ca3 acquisition to be blooded and it did not let me down - we put it on auto and both of us attacked it with Phoenix D.Is...
First exchanges & we're both smoking !
Now I'm on fire ... wt...
and now I'm downed !
Leaving Rob to chase him down
And polish him off with a splendid 5+1 for 26 damage point total
Gluttons for punishment that we are we had another go - two fighters each v 2 Ca3 - what could go wrong ....
Well this for starters !
Rob has better luck
Between us we knock down first one - I got the credit
Then the other, Rob got the kill - that Ca3 got close to escaping !
So, what next ?! Yep - we went big !
I set it on fire with my ranging shot with the MG
Then I got the cannon working
Instead of reloading it I attacked with the MG as he was jammed.. but not long enough
Then Rob bought it (it's an AFB-1) - & the big 'un got away
We then scaled back to chasing a Hannover on auto pilot - it made for a crazy chase but was a load of fun - I set it on fire before succumbing myself
Rob finished it off but paid for it !
The second game went better - set him on fire on the first shot
and after another winding chase I put him away this time
Then it was time to go home, another day of Wings done - ready for Devizes at the weekend
Thanks for hosting Rob
