    Default AAR OTT--CYM-Mission 10 "Keep on Trucking" --Sept 12th to 18th '16--gully_raker

    The British had unleased their "secret weapon" Tanks on the unsuspecting German Trenches albeit rather prematurely in view of the number of breakdowns. However they did their job & made good inroads for the Infantry following them.

    They were thirsty beasts & the British were in constant need of refuelling them to keep the momentum going. Thus it fell to the Bulldogs to supply aerial cover to one such convoy as it made its way overland to the front.

    Click image for larger version.  Name: <acronym title=AAR Truck convoy.jpg  Views: 29  Size: 83.7 KB  ID: 300215" class="thumbnail" style="float:CONFIG" />

    Uncle called Lt. Fife-Brand to the Squadron Hut, briefed him on the mission & gave the co-ordinates for their rendezvous with the convoy.
    Reg detailed Dusty Rhodes to accompany him in one of the two new Nieuport 17's that had arrived. His favourite Blue nosed one was still waiting for a new engine after the last mission. F/Sgt Bran Stark would also fly with them preferring his trusty DH-2 to the new French Aircraft.

    On the other side of the lines the Pilots of the Eagles Staffel were warmly greeting their Staffel Fuhrer Oblt Caul-August Schwartz who had finally returned to duty from wound leave. There was much saluting, hand shaking & schnapps toasting in the Casino. Schwartz was keen to get back into action & welcomed the telephone call from HQ advising of the need to mount an attack on a British Fuel Convoy making its way to the front to supply the Verdammit new monsters the Tommies had unleashed on the brave German troops.
    He detailed Ltn Justus Lotz to fly as his wingman in a grey Halberstadt while he would fly a spanking new cream D.II. They would be accompanied by 2 Fokker Eindekkers flown by Ltn Kurt Rudiger in a CDL one & Ltn Otto Schoenfielder in a green painted machine. They would carry out the attack on the convoy whilst the 2 Halberstadts would act as top cover to keep away any British Scouts that might try to stop their efforts.

    The two groups of aircraft soon converged & exchanged fire.

    Reg Fife-Brand was less than impressed that his gun jammed on the very first shot at the grey Halberstadt using his new Ace skill & got hit by both of the D.II's.

    On the other side of the Convoy Dusty & Bran opened fire on the two Fokkers before they had a chance to dive down to attack the convoy. Bran somehow missed his target but Dusty scored a good burst into the CDL plane although it return fire caused his engine to omit black smoke. He noticed no change in the note of the engine & breathed a sigh of relief.

    The Fokkers now dived on the convoy & the green one caused minor damage to the lead truck but immediately suffered a jamb. The CDL plane was out of arc distracted by the British aircraft.

    Obltn Schwartz pulled an Immelmann to chase down Fife-Brands Nieuport.

    Click image for larger version.  Name: <acronym title=AAR 08.jpg  Views: 28  Size: 148.4 KB  ID: 300222" class="thumbnail" style="float:CONFIG" />

    He tried a long range shot but missed.

    Dusty now came to the aid of his Flight Commander but both his & the Germans shots missed their targets.

    Reg now reversed his Nieuport & using his Sniper skill caused some damage to the German leaders aircraft.

    Click image for larger version.  Name: <acronym title=AAR 11.jpg  Views: 27  Size: 125.6 KB  ID: 300225" class="thumbnail" style="float:CONFIG" />

    Back at the Convoy, Bran had dived down to the altitude of the Fokkers & with a well timed burst set the CDL E.III on fire. This was some form of justice as the German had just set the last truck in the convoy on fire,

    The Fokker continued to burn as down below the fire finally caused the fuel on Truck No.4 to explode.

    On the other side of the Convoy the grey Halberstadt also continued to burn.

    The green E.III had circled back & shot at Truck No.3 but fortunately missed.

    On the far side of the Convoy there was a bit of a dogfight going on between the fiery grey Halberstadt, Reg & Dusty but not much damage resulted!

    Dusty continued to hound the German plane but then his gun jammed.

    Click image for larger version.  Name: <acronym title=AAR 19.jpg  Views: 27  Size: 129.0 KB  ID: 300232" class="thumbnail" style="float:CONFIG" />

    The two opposing Flight leaders now flew head on & whilst Fife-Brand caused good damage to Schwartz's Halberstadt disaster struck the British pilot & his new Nieuport 17 exploded & fell to the ground in British territory.

    The green Fokker now switched his attention to the lead Truck causing more damage whilst both the German planes that were on fire continued to burn.

    The green Fokker continued his attack on the Convoy but Bran made him pay for concentrating on the trucks with some good shots into the E,III.

    Click image for larger version.  Name: <acronym title=AAR 27.jpg  Views: 27  Size: 165.0 KB  ID: 300238" class="thumbnail" style="float:CONFIG" />

    The two burning German planes finally had the fires go out but accumulated damage from both the fires & bullets forced them to turn for their home aerodrome before they were forced to crash.

    The Truck Convoy continued moving towards their rendezvous with the Tank Company.

    Click image for larger version.  Name: <acronym title=AAR 31.jpg  Views: 27  Size: 140.1 KB  ID: 300244" class="thumbnail" style="float:CONFIG" />

    Obltn Schwartz had now dived his Halberstadt down to attack the Convoy as he could see they were getting close to the Tanks.

    Click image for larger version.  Name: <acronym title=AAR 33.jpg  Views: 26  Size: 130.5 KB  ID: 300245" class="thumbnail" style="float:CONFIG" />

    The first two trucks had crossed the target line & he made one final attack but his bullets went wide.

    Click image for larger version.  Name: <acronym title=AAR 34.jpg  Views: 27  Size: 104.5 KB  ID: 300246" class="thumbnail" style="float:CONFIG" />

    The Convoy had successfully delivered 3 truck loads of fuel thanks to the efforts of the British pilots who were most concered about the fate of their popular Flight Commander Reginald Fife-Brand & could only hope for good news from the British Lines in due course.

    Thoughts & Observations

    Well that was quite a marathon with 12 turns!
    The Brits were lucky to set 2 German Aircraft on fire which ultimately caused them to have to return to base because of Damage.
    It was a blow to lose Fife-Brand to the Boom card & can only hope for a decent Survival Roll!
    I used Altitude 4 & had the Fokkers dive to Altitude 2 for the attack followed down by Bran Stark.
    I used Dave's D8 charts & flew Bran's DH-2 (Love my DH-2's!) All others were AI.
    Apologies for the quality of some of the photos. The day was dark & cloudy on & off & sometimes the cameras flash operated & sometimes not.
    Truck No.1 suffered engine damage towards the end of the game so the next turn I played a XB stall & decided the Sgt in charge of the Convoy would have ordered the second truck to push the damaged truck forward at normal speed for the remaining turns. I really enjoyed that game so thanks Paul. I must admit my back was glad when the 12th turn ended. Cant wait for my new modified sawhorses to be made raising the height of my table to approx bench height.

    VICTORY POINTS

    British:
    3 trucks across the line = 9 points

    German:
    1 truck destroyed = 2 points
    1 enemy plane shot down = 3points
    Total = 5 points

    BRITISH VICTORY

    Default Postscript

    Back at the Bulldogs Aerodrome, Bentangles, the pilots anxiously crowded around Uncle who was on the phone to Area HQ asking for information on Reg Fife-Brand.

    "Yes! A Silver Nieuport N17 with a yellow spinner. What? He's at the casualty clearing station. Minor injuries you say. Well that's a miracle! Probably a few weeks in hospital & he will be as good as new. Fantastic news! Thank you so much Sir!
    With great relief they then all adjourned to the Officers Club to celebrate & F/Sgt Stark was invited as a special guest for a general "Knees Up" celebration.

    Blooming marvellous Baz. What a great result. Thought you were in trouble there for a moment, when Fife went down. But all's well that ends well I'll drink a toast to his survival. Well, any excuse huh?

    And three of the trucks got through - that was what should have happened, but didn't in my own attempt. Well done those Bulldogs.
    Congratulations as well, to Oblt Caul-August Schwartz on a job well done.
    Rep gun jammed for the mo Baz, sorry. Have to see what I can do about that.

    Three trucks made it ?! Nice one Baz that's quite an achievement - well played that man.
    Close run thing for Reg though !

    Uncle says:

    Bloody well done chaps, those tank chaps were well pleased by your efforts. Sounds like Reg will be OK but he's due a bit of Blighty leave and a visit to the Palace to pick up his gong.
    Small error in the Tally - Reg's ace skill does not give him a +1 in C/W, however, it didn't change the end result, he still misses 2.
    Meantime, Dusty Rhodes is made 'Acting Lieutenant' and will lead the squadron... Just don't balls it up !

    Meanwhile across the lines
    Lotz cracked up on landing and is out for the next few weeks, Schwartz celebrates his victory and becoming the second pilot with one over the Bulldogs.
    Ltn Karl Franz Däger Reports for duty.

    Will have to swing back with REP

    Well done on a successful mission, Baz...and on catching up with the campaign. The only downside is the rep gun is jammed.

    Drinks in the mess alright!

    I was sweating on the dice rolls for Reg. Had a bad feeling about his chances but he scraped through!

    Great job, Baz.
    Love the trucks - I must get some auxiliary models to flesh out my AARs.

    I'm afraid my REP gun is also jammed at the moment, so have a virtual single malt instead.

    Great result Barry and your boys did well defending the convoy. just as it should be.

    You've got some very nice photos of the tanks but the convoy trucks are just fantastic, they look very Dinosaurish. Brill.
