Windy Jack and I met for a battle last night. things did not go quite as we planned. Windy had found a scenario where an unsuspecting Rumpler gets bounced by a rampaging Bristol from a great height and fired upon at one half ruler length. Seeing as we do not play altitude rules and that the Bristol is a stronger, faster and more durable air frame we awarded the Bullet Checker skill card to the Rumpler. We also decided that the explosion card would cause double the normal damage rather than a game ending explosion. The scenario was based on an actual mission flown over Palestine where I think the Rumpler emerged victorious. In our game though, things did not go according to facts.
The first exchange of fire resulted in the Bristol catching on fire!!!
Continuous fire was exchanged between the Rumpler rear gunner and our intrepid Bristol pilot.
Twice the Rumpler would have been jammed if it were not for that Bullet Checker skill card!
Lucky or what?
Well luck was not with the Rumpler actually. The Bristol drew a 3 for fire damage a 1 for the on fire card, and four 0 cards.
20 minute game at most, and a resounding victory for the Bristol. Luck of the card draw I reckon.
