    Would have been a great time to do that. New house rules you haven't played before don't jump up and scream, ME ME ME!

    That's very narrow minded in this day and age Dan, brothers should be included now too...

    Over the Briny Turn 3

    Lots of close calls on firing but no shots on the first maneuver.
    Flash stalls with Zenlizard (at the same level) overlapping but out of ‘Blind Han’ arc.
    Camelbeagle misses a shot on Baz by a whisker.
    Both Karo7 and Malachi’s Immelmann maneuvers behind their targets come up short because of altitude difference.

    Flash, being the slippery fish that he is, slips right away from zenlizard and keeps far enough to be out of range of Malachi. ‘Blind Hans’ gets off another shot, this time at short range at zenlizard. Smoke trails f
    rom zenlizard’s Macchi.

    (I was called away by SWMBO, forgot to mark the shot with a half range ruler and place the smoke. Smoke will be seen on the final position photos.)

    Flash dives while Sauerkraut climbs. Gangleader147 dives, Malachi and zenlizard are positioned to pounce on Flash if they can catch him. All are our of firing range.

    The pack of Macchis chasing Flash grows from 1, to 2, to 3.

    What's that? There is something dangling aloft between the strangely tall fishing poles above the boat. A pair of figures are also scurrying about on the deck.

    Error! Error! Hold off on submitting a move. New photo of final position up in a minute.

    I had played a dive instead of a climb for Gangleader147. (you'll see in in a photo if you look for it.) Final position photos have been reshot and are now correct.

    OK, good to go!

    Uh-Oh - it's getting a mite crowded round here !
    Had to risk the stall to wrong foot Sam but got away with it this time and Blind Hans gave him something to think about as he passed me by

    My guardian angel is still shadowing me, he knows what to do...
    Turn 4 in, and off to bed !

    Over the Briny Turn 5

    Sauerkraut turns left to follow Zenlizard below, also turning left.

    Flash turns right having missed his chance to try to grab the package dangling above the fishing boat.

    Malachi Turns sharply right beneath Sauerkraut.

    Gangleader has the bird’s eye view from high above.

    Baz stalls to prepare for an over-dive to douse his flames while Karo7 passes above.

    Camelbeagle turns sharply to chase down the pair of Austrians he has been tangling with.

    It's been ages since I had some good sauerkraut. It's not normally in my Italian diet but one must keep an open mind.
