    Default AAR: Council of Five Nations 2019 Trouble Over Malaysia

    Council of Five Nations 2019 Trouble Over Malaysia

    Lots of interesting airplanes in this one. Oscars, Zeros, Vals, Buffalos, Wirraways, a Vildebeest and a Blenheim Mk I. ( had planned on 2 Vildebeests but didn’t get to finish the 2nd so put in one of Bob’s Blenheim Mk Is jerry-rigged to be a torpedo bomber)

    This scenario has a Japanese ground force closing in on a RAF/RAAF airfield along the east coast of Malaysia. Supply ships have arrived to deliver munitions and food to keep the offensive going. Torpedo bombers are sent to sink the supply ships, escorted by Buffalos. The Japanese have Oscars and Vals in the area on a mission of their own, trying to interdict the Allied airfield.

    A Vildebveest with a pair of escorting Buffalos flying over the airfield.

    MG fire from the frigate downs the Vildebeest just before it can release it’s torpedo.
    The Blenheim though (the card overlapping the Vildebeest) gets past the defensive fire.

    A burning Val drops it’s bombs on the airstrip. One AA mg has been destroyed but the big gun is still barking out at the Japanese bombers.

    Once again, before it can release it’s fish, the frigate downs another Vildebeest! We all agreed this frigate had pre-war training with the RN.

    The rear section of the frigate jumps out of the water. When the flames subside and the smoke rises, the frigate is not seen again.

    A lone Wirraway dives in unimpeded and drops a direct hit on a supply ship sending it to the bottom.

    The Wirraway drop was the last action in the game. Sinking the supply ship gave the Allies a 1 point win.

    A great mix of planes and good action shots there. Surprised the Vildebeest downed a Japanese plane. I bet the pilot died laughing.

    As for the ship's gunners being trained by the RN .... Nah! they would have shot down some of their own planes in that case. My father used to say they fire up on ANYTHING that came within range as a matter of course. Better be safe than sorry I guess.

    Quite a mix! I almost brought on some Kates but ended up leaving the bombing just to the Vals. If there were a few more players the Kates were on as well as more of Bob's planes.
