Yesterday morning I met by arrangement with a young man named Charles at the Zatu Games shop on the Bowthorpe Shopping Estate in Norwich to play Tripods & Triplanes because he was interested in learning about the game. I was hoping that some of the other customers that morning would, come, take a look and perhaps join in. That did not happen as things tuned out because the shop was not very busy that morning. Charles had not played Wings of Glory before so I went through the rules on using aircraft and about using Tripods and we started with the 'Bring Proof' scenario from the rulebook. Charles flew the Nieuport 16 from the Starter Set and I used the Locust. Since the Nieuport was not using its rockets, I gave it the extra machine gun card. I became so busy with the game, I forgot to take many photographs.
Charles
The Black Smoke launcher was used.
Charles flew away before using an Immelman turn to return.
He came in again and ran into another black smoke cloud.
That was sufficient to finish off the Nieuport.
Game 2 will follow.
