This was a particularly good game, I thought, even if the card didn't work in our favor at the end. As always, thanks to Mike for hosting.

Another enjoyable game. Thanks again to everyone. Hope next years games continue to be as enjoyable.
Thanks again to Mike for a fun filled evening of flying with the boys. Thanks for 6+ months of helping us get through the Covid isolation, it's been a great ride and I really look forward to more in the new year.
Last night was, as always, a great time. Didn't get a boom card and did get some shots in. Mike was talking to Nate, who joined in to see how things work, and said we have been doing this for 6 months. I guess we are having a good time because I didn't think it was that long. As always thanks to Mike and Shawn for getting us all together for this social gathering with social distencing.
Hello Everyone

Another fun game! Thanks to everyone!!!!
It was good to see the gang after a two week break. First shot I took at Thomas was a boom card for him and I know how that feels. Looks like we may be relooking at a BOOM card being drawn so fast. Look forward to next weeks game.
A good night seeing everyone after our holiday break.
Yeah, it's just not fair to get the boom first card into the game. We'll come up with something.
It was good to play with you guys again.
Sorry to 'Boom' ya out, Peter.
One variant I have considered is to draw 3 new damage cards after drawing a Boom, rather than the other accepted alternate of counting 1/2 damage.
A second Boom would take you down, just like two wounds. ( or force another 3 card draw?)
The 3rd of 10 races

Enjoy
Great race! I didn't crash this time! Yahoo!
Fun time! My flimsy little pusher brought me safely home to see the medic.
Great race for everybody but one.
I think that was a case of operator error!
Another fun night of air racing.
Wish I could find my records about the race circuit.
Good game and fun time as always. Sorry that I hit James with a BOOM two weeks in a row.
This weeks game link will be in the Tripods section. This week the French are going to try to stop Those Matrians.
WE do play by video chat (zoom and YouTube); there are a couple of other PBeM groups here-and there's no reason you can't start your own group.

Great to see how the rules are "really" used! Sitting on the sidelines I didn't realise just how much smoke those Camels could make .... lol!
Thanks for the shoutout - great show you are putting on!
Another fun game! Death match flying is always a blast!
Looked like a load of fun chaps !

Fun time! Thanks for hosting, Mike
Another great time, even with the frustrating connection problems.
Oh, Terry: one of the reasons it was so bloody is Mike removes the zeros (or almost all the zeros), and the explosions from the damage decks. Everything else stays. With 8 or 9 planes on the table, all going for each other, this rules modification is really necessary.
The zeros and explosion damage cards were all removed from the first game and only 1 used in the second game. They were removed as these were only 3 turn games. With only 3 turn games it would have been extremely lucky to down a plane. Even the way we played only 2 planes were shot down outright. 3 went down because of fires and 2 in a collision! It was a very messy battle!
Though to be fair he put one back in !

I saw that - it kept he alive a while longer !

Good game tonight fellas. Thanks, Mike!
Yes, another night up in the sky with the boys. How can it not be a great night. Thanks Mike and Dan.
Yep - always good times at Mike's
Thanks, Mike (and Dan for doing the assist stuff tonight)
Fun to watch! Glad to help out! Those French Guns were nasty! Thanks to everyone involved!
Even though I took a BOOM had a good game. We did destroy guns and damaged a few. Thomas took out the balloon so that is out of the way.
I thought I'd post the follow-up email report here for the entertainment value. Hopefully I can keep these current as we go. The links are docs with Mission summaries and Pilot rosters.

NEWS FROM THE FRONT
The French are winning the war. 4 -> 3 -> 3 draws. It seems whatever side I'm on is losing. My ex-wives said it was me. Is it me?

DISPATCH FROM ESCADRILLE LES MISERABLE
Rook LeDeux - in hospital wounded for 10 days, but enjoying the attentions of nurse Jeanette his favorite. Promoted to Green!
Girard Framboise - 1 kill, wounded for 1 day, apparently that skull is made of iron after all. He's cutting a swath through the opposition, has plenty of points; just needs 1 more mission for promotion. What could go wrong?
Mathieu Feret - only 3 points away from promotion. What could go wrong?
Gerard Louvel - wounded for 15 days, possible shell shock. Keeps mumbling about gun jams..
Jean Francois Gireaux - wounded 19 days. Keeps asking about nurse Jeanette.
RIP Pepe Truffle. We barely knew ye.

Good to see you chaps in action again. Has anyone dealt with the spy yet ?!

Tough to figure this one out. Every week we seem to have a different agent infiltrating HQ. Very poor vetting and security up there.
