    Default Tuesday night balloon roast

    Last night (Tuesday) our intrepid band of aviators - myself, Gary (Baxter), Doug (Windy Jack) and Mark gathered at Gary's for a bit of balloon action.

    The first victim plummets to the ground (to respawn as a SPAD VII) while the Pfalz continues to burn

    The Pfalz succumbs to the flames (to respawn as a Halberstadt) and the SPADS turn their attention to the remaining Pfalz, which also bites the dust (to respawn as another Halberstadt)

    The fight continues until finally, the target succumbs - a bit of a hollow victory as both enemy aircraft were respawned and in fact Gary was the only one still flying his original SPAD by the end of the night!

    As ever, we had a great night, exchanged much banter and all agreed it was a successful night - what more could you ask?

    Some hefty damage draws there

    Thanks for posting.
    Good to see some people are able to get together for a game.

    Well done chaps - good to see somebody's getting face to face games in - Nice Spad VII, like to see RFC ones make an appearance

    I was feeling pretty pleased with myself having helped see off two Pfalz planes and then starting to hurt the Halberstadts. I only had two zero damage cards too. Then a reality check! The main reason for my lack of damage was that the EA focussed on hitting the balloon and that tactic paid off. Well done to the boche.

    Well, that was certainly bloody. Hope everybody had as good a time as it appeared. Balloon strafes usually do make for a good scenario.

    A great little game! Thanks for posting.
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    Well done Chaps. Great to see non solo gaming still happening.
