    Death Match, a 3 round heavy weight bout with 7 pilots vying for the title.

    Death Match, it sure was. 2nd maneuver card, first shot, BOOM! Down went my pristine DVII.
    A very quick kill for John.


    Sorry Dan, I miss-counted and didn't give you the -10 when you were shot down so you were 36, not 46. Still good for 2nd!

    Death Match results...

    Sam(zenlizard) 50 1 kill, never shot down
    Dan(camelbeagle) 36 2 kills, downed in a collision with his team-mate Chris!
    Chris(malachi) 34 1 kill, shot down once
    Bob(Bobp) 24 0 kills, shot down once
    Peter(teaticket) 16 2 kills, shot down once
    John(rolld6) 13 1 kill, down twice (BOOMed once by collision where the other pilot took 1 damage point.)
    Ray(G-Dog) -21 0 kills, shot down 3 times

    Great games. Thanks for the score Teaticket! I had a lot of fun. Once again, thanks Mike for the effort into making this happen.

    Thanks to everyone I had a blast with this one. I am going to put this one in the book for replay down the road. We played 3 different games of 3 rounds each in 3 hours. On a tech side the audio is greatly improved with little loss of video quality. I will be working on some graphics this week along with some audio clips. Thanks again for joining me for the games.

    I will if I ever am free. The timing is a bit hard for me. I have to get the kids fed and in bed. But it was so crazy because I looked you all up on you tube before, you were the first thing that came up for me when I was looking to listen to something while I worked out.

    You were talking about damage cards... the first time I played this game my opponent seemed to have half the deck and I got shot down with 3 cards. Oddly, that was one of the things that made me fall in love with this game.

    This weeks damage was a bit heavy, I added boom cards and removed none special "0" damage cards. You can't have Death matches without Death.

    Enjoyed the banter!

    It just reminded me how much I've missed it this year.
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    Real fun time last night. In the last game I seemed to fly around checking things out before getting into the fray. My first moves were my mistake. Have to do better next game. Seeing the usual crew and getting in some game time was the best part. Many thanks to Mike for getting us together and many thanks for the guys for getting together and playing.

    Another great week, each week they seem to get better and better, much thanks to Mike for all his effort and work (it shows!). I loved the new 'get stuck in quick' format, which allowed us to get three quality games in. Looking forward to next Thu already.

    Another great evening of fun. I did like the 3 quickies format, but I doubt that would work for anything but tournament-style play. Great time last night, though.

    Oh, yeah, let me dig out those air racing with guns rules I promised you, Mike. Expect an e-mail later in the day.

    Due to a work schedule change I was not able to prepare a game this week to host. Next week I will be traveling to take my kids back to college I may not be able to host next week( if there is a game it will not be until Saturday at best). Looking forward to the next game I host in a week or so.

    thanks

    No game last night but we did have a session on ZOOM about the RACE game we will be playing. It was good to see all the guys and have a new member (DAVE) get into the group. Another thanks to Mike to get us all together and have some sort of socila interaction.

    I want to thank everyone who joined the game. I bit of a rush job on my behalf (had to work today) and had a issue with the sound I ended up with a bad repeat. I will have that fixed for next week. It was great to see everyone again after not playing for two weeks. again Great flying tonight.

    The French did the most damage to the German Balloon and Chris was the Top pilot tonight.

    Just want to say how much fun we had last night. Mike did a great job with a short amount of time to get the game ready to play. It was good to see the guys again and have Dave join the group for a second time. Hope he becomes a regular to the group. As always many thanks to Mike for the job he is doing so we can all get out play time in.

    I am hosting another game on Thursday. Well this is not really a normal game, it is the start of a 1 off race campaign. It is a 10 race series with each player having a "team of 5 planes". Each player picks 5 planes from a major air power. 1 plane from early war, 1 plane from late war, and a two-seater. This week the race is any single seater on your team. You get points for each marker you pass, times you shoot, downing a target, and completing the course. You will lose points for getting shot down, collisions, and flying out of bounds. There will be about 1 race per month as a fun change of pace from the Big campaign that I will be starting Next week. I currently have 8 regular players and could use a few more pilots. I have created some pilot packs for each person that wants to play. It contains rookie, green, and veteran pilots. Each pack is for a different nation, and you will get several nations to fly with based on the mini campaign inside of the larger campaign. Just remember pilots die, get captured, can be traded for other POWs, and they also get injured. If you want to join in the fun part time or full time please let me know so I can get you a pack!!

    I look forward to seeing everyone and as always the games will be on my Youtube channel, Table Top Flights (most of the time with sound, sometimes too much sound). I am also hoping to have a game calendar by the start of the Campaign so everyone knows when the next game is!!

    Hm, Mike said he was going to try and start at around 1800; but about an hour ago, we had a tornado warning (not watch, warning, cloud rotation actually spotted); so, as of 1812 local, he still hasn't shown up on either Zoom or YouTube. Hope that' doesn't mean he's dealing with the severe thunderstorms/tornado at the moment.

    Didn't get to comment last night so here is my morning report. Had a great time last night. It was fun to get together with all the guys and do some racing. It was something different and changeling. Look forward to next weeks start of the campaign and the next race. Surprised I came in 4th after hitting the pylon. That little E III took a lot of damage.

    As always thanks to Mike for putting on the game and getting us all together.

    Thanks, Mike! The race was a lot of fun. My plan did not survive the enemy after rudder damage to my speedy crate and not even making it to the first pylon I spent most of my time seeking terra firma.

    Had a ZOOM meeting last night about the upcoming campaign starting this Thursday. Lots of good input and questions answered. Looking forward to this Thursdays start of the campaign. Also may get to meet, virtually, Daryl (RAF) and put a face to the person whoes planes I have quite a number of.

    All of them. Mike is sadistic.

    If Mike is using the latest version of the Ares Campaign and Scenario Pack, almost any plane that catches fire will mean the loss of the pilot. The rules and Destiny Cards are brutal on burning planes and crew.

    Other than that, the loss of a plane does not mean the death of a pilot. My buddy and I are working on a prisoner exchange to get some of our crews back in the air.

    Had a great time last night. Got in some shots and took a lot of damage (8 points) but managed to crash land just inside the French lines. Injured but will be back in 8 (game) days. As a cautious Rookie I survived to fight another day.
    Looking forward to next weeks game.
