OTTCYM Mission 11 - Attack Plane Surprise - Sept 19th 1916 by camelbeagle
Eagles Aerodrome
Attention! Today’s flight assignments are as follows. ObLtn Rob Eicher, Rolf Hossler, Falco Bahr, and Jacob Rosenhain. Take your Albatros C.III to the front lines and do some strafing. Our brave men in the trenches could use some help with those dug in British Poodles. ObLtn Klaus Knacke and Alfred Sessler, take those wonderful Albatros D.II up on patrol. Make sure that there isn’t any British Swine in the air. Good Hunting!
Bulldog Aerodrome
Okay Chaps listen up! Those Bosch have been strafing our boys in the trenching more than usual. The strafing is really taking a toll on our boys and they have requested our help. The mission today is to take up our planes and try and surprise some of those dirty Bosch and shoot them down before they do much damage. Lt Robert Armstrong, 2Lt Thomas Bell, 2Lt Linus Dreyfuss, and 2Lt Robert Howe. Suit up and get to your planes. Good Luck up there!
Eicher/Hossler and Bahr/Rosenhain are finishing up some strafing runs. Been a milk run for them so far with very little opposition.
Little do they know that the Bulldogs have sneaked up on them. Lt Armstrong, 2Lt Bell, and 2Lt Howe come tearing into the battlefield ready to make the Eagles wish that they stayed home today.
2Lt Dreyfuss comes in from the opposite direction with the aim to distract the German Planes.
Meanwhile, ObLtn Knacke and Ltn Sessler have been on patrol. They see the Bulldog planes heading towards their ally two seaters and are heading in to intercept.
Armstrong, Bell, and Howe all dive towards their targets. Howe gets a surprise shot on Bahr/Rosenhain.
Knacke and Sessler fly towards the British planes.
Dreyfuss flies right over Eicher/Hossler. Hope this doesn’t turn out bad for him.
Howe and Bahr/Rosenhain exchange bullets. Fire erupts from the Albatros C.III. Howe’s Nieuport starts bellowing lots of black smoke.
Bell and Armstrong are moving in trying to get their attack runs set up.
Knacke and Sessler dive down to get closer to the action.
Well, it didn’t work out too good for Dreyfuss. Trying to power dive into the action he crashes into Bahr/Rosenhain.
Armstrong and Howe send lead greetings to Bahr/Rosenhain. Rosenhain trys to shoot back, but the collision has through off his aim The bullets tear through Bahr/Rosenhain’s Ablatros C.III and it goes down.
Eicher/Hossler have just now figured out that they are being ambushed! Seeing the Murder of Nieuports in the air they decide that home is a better place.
The Bulldogs are a mess as they regroup. Bell sees the two Ablatros D.II and almost collides into Armstrong.
Knacke and Sessler dive down into the fray and begin their attack! Sessler and Dreyfuss exchange machine gun fire. Sessler’s plane erupts into horrible flames and catches fire. Dreyfuss, yes your tactics were bad today. Dreyfuss’s Nieuport takes critical damage and explodes in the air!
Now it starts getting NASTY! Eicher/Hossler and Howe exchange attacks! Hossler’s Observer Machine Gun Jams! Armstrong tries to shoot at Eicher/Hossler, but he did not hit his target. Bell aims his guns and fires at the on coming Sessler. Sessler, trying to protect the Albatros C.III fires his guns at Armstrong. This causes Armstrong’s right rudder to jam up. Knacke sends some lead love towards Bell.
Knacke and Bell just barely avoid a collision. Luck was on their side today!
Sessler sends more bullets towards Armstrong. Howe continues his attack on Eicher/Hossler and damages the Rudder on the Albatros C.III. Armstrong tries to continue his attack on the Albatros C.III but his guns JAM!!!
Knacke and Bell are both resetting their tactics.
Sessler slips left and shoots at Howe. Howe presses the attack on Eicher/Hossler. Hossler, with much anger, pounds on his guns with a hammer trying to unjam them. Armstrong, very unhappy with his guns, withdrawals form the attack and starts the to unjam his.
Knacke and Bell both Immelmann around with plans of attack!
Armstrong continues to work on his guns. Hossler curses and screams as he pounds on his machine gun! Howe, even with Sessler on his tail, presses the attack on Eicher/Hossler. Sessler keeps the bullets heading towards Howe.
Knacke and Bell must have a mutual hate of each other. They fly in fast at each other guns a blazing and bullets flying. Bell, much to his grief, jams his machine gun!
Armstrong gets his rudder working properly again. He continues to try and unjam his guns. Hossler gets his guns working again and shoots at Howe. Howe’s plane goes from smoke to flames as his plane catches fire. His Rudder is damaged in the exchange as well. Howe is very happy he checked his bullets before he left. He shoots off a burst of lead that damages Eicher/Hossler’s engine. Sessler keeps the attack coming to Howe damaging his Rudder as well. All this damage is too much for Howe’s Nieuport. The brave Bulldog goes down!
Armstrong, with working guns again, uses his Sharp Eye to send some dangerous lead towards Eicher/Hossler. Hossler responds by sending bullets to the cockpit of the Nieuport 17. This causes Armstrong to take a pretty serious wound. Sessler is on fire this game (literally). He gives Armstrong a massive blast of hot lead! The Albatros C.III of Eicher/Hossler cannot take anymore and goes down!
Knacke and Bell continue to dance around in the sky!
Bell has decided to pull out and try and get his guns working. Knacke executes another Immelmann in hopes of catching the Bulldog Pilot.
Sessler rips another barrage of bullets into Armstrong! The Nieuport cannot take any more damage and the Brave Bulldog does down. Sessler is on FIRE!!!!!!!
Knacke is just barely able to catch up and do some serious damage to Bell. Bell takes a horrible pilot wound. Bell is thinking it is time to get the HECK out of here!
Sessler’s fire has finally gone out. He turns the plane around to see if he can find his wingman. Bell has decided that this is enough and tries to head for home. Knacke won’t have any of that nonsense and attacks Bell’s Nieuport 17 once again. The Nieuport 17 has taken all it can take and Bell goes down!

Holy Toledo! What a blood bath! 
for his fifth victory for the Kaiser. 
And all of those heavy damage cards coming out too. What did you do, remove most of the "0"s? I keep them in myself. Recently my Bulldogs have been very fond of pulling them.
