    Well done Dan, at least one plane will reach home to let them know the outcome. Unlucky Pete (Flash) thanks for the help, there was a lot of wounded pilot tokens in this game. Hang in there Pete (Stumptonian) nearly there. A good victory but there's always a price to pay.

    Something I should have put up before the start of the game. I made a sheet a few years ago to track a plane through a game. Log your movement plot turn by turn, note gun jams, damage taken and given, etc.

    Using a sheet like this will help you remember what your last maneuver was, gun jams, rudder jams etc. Hopefully these will be a help in future games.

    In the files under house rules 'HERE'.

    OK, Peter, this of course will only happen to me right? I have downloaded that about 4 times, and when I go to print only the 1st sheet with turns 1-10 comes up. ? Better than nothing, but I wonder why 2nd page won't show.

    Default The end.

    Aerodrome Raid Turn 14

    Move 1.

    To possibly avoid a collision and maybe even get in a shot, Sauerkraut slips wide right over Stumptonian.
    Stumptonian tricks Sauerkraut and pulls off a Split-S heading away from sauerkraut’s course.
    Hedeby charges in as fast as he can but comes up short.

    I think this one is over. On turn 15 no American will be able to reach Stumptonian. He won’t leave his friendly edge and will lose points for not doing so but it will not diminish the German victory as they totally destroyed the aerodrome.

    It was fun to run and when the real shooting started there was some great maneuvering.

    Thanks to all that participated and to any onlookers.

    I’ll post a report on damage by and to each pilot.

    Ok Zen, you’re up next.

    I will add my compliments for a very interesting scenario.

    I was glad to see my Split-S flummoxed the Yanks. Not a lot of choices with a wonky engine.


    I was afraid at least one of 'em may have noticed my last move was a stall ....

    Great fun, my first one. It does take a little getting used to (or have I spent too much time in 2 seaters, and it’s flying a scout I need to practice in?) Thanks Pete.

    This was the initial flight for my J30 Pfalz flight. Thanks for giving them a victory for their first game.

    Chris, I keep the doors to the basement closed, so sooner or later I'll find your plane when it runs out of fuel.
