sorry Andy. We've been playing in Mike's Thursday night games for so long now I think all internet games are Mike's!
Ooops,
Turn 8 submitted!!!
And the no-nonsense approach gets the job done. I'd say I'm awaiting you all with a bier in the Offiziersmesse, but I stopped a bullet along the way, so it's a few days in the Feldsanität for me.
Turn 8 sent.
Let's see if we can escort the third one back to our lines in one piece.
Voilà le soleil d'Austerlitz!

Dare I put words in Baz mouth and say, "Oh, f**k yeah!" ?
Let's see if we can escort the third one back to our lines in one piece.
I’m all for that, but not sure about being in one piece though
Still waiting on a couple of sets of orders for Turn 8.
Turn 8 in although I have a horrible feeling I may not last much longer ����
Do you still need any orders?
One set still outstanding.
Not me is it?
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
No. I have yours Chris.
Turn 8 submitted
Turn 8.1
The flames eat away the last of the fabric holding his Camel together and Sherlochnumber1 plunges to the ground. Our first casualty credited to Sam Urai.
Sam Urai, who is also on fire begins an overdive and is helped on his way by another burst from Hedeby. Marechallannes and Stumptonian adopt protective positions around the escaping Baz. Camel Crew having turned hard to his right manages to get a short burst into Marechallannes’ Albatros. Flash, Teaticket and Camelbeagle seek to re-position themselves having been eluded by Baz last turn.
Turn 8.2
Hedeby overlaps the diving Sam Urai and can’t fire at him. Damn those Spads are fast! Sam Urai manages to get a shot into Camelbeagle whilst Marechallannes has banked left and engages Hedeby. Elsewhere Baz continues to fly straight and level whilst miraculously avoiding his pursuers.
Turn 8.3
A very quiet final phase as no shooting takes place. Sam Urai, Hedeby and Marechallannes seem determined to occupy the same piece of airspace and all overlap. Baz finally turns eastwards after flying six consecutive straight manoeuvres. (Surely that should have been suicide?) Flash, Teaticket and Camelbeagle are all rushing after him but will they reach him in time? Stumptonian turns towards the pursuers to try and delay them further.
As he completes his overdive, Sam Urai has successfully extinguished the fire on his Albatros.
PLEASE NOTE - Flash should be A2 C0. I forgot to remove the climb counters when he climbed to A2.

Turn 9 Submitted
Baz, are you abandoning your fellow scouts? You don't have to leave the party so soon.
Turn 9 in.
That’s just bullyingBetter luck tomorrow night Andy, we can pummel Lee to our hearts content... Again !
Turn 9 in ..
Trouble is I think they are enjoying themselves amongst the Spads and Camels to worry too much about the escort!
We’ll see about leaving so soon.
Baz
Not a lot of choice when you have temporarily lost your right rudder!!! Was pleasant flight though traversing the East map diagonally and doing a bit of sight seeing
Not a criticism Baz, just amazement that it worked! Your rudder was only jammed for three of those straights but if it ain't broke then why fix it. Don't want to jinx you, but not far to go now!
No criticism taken, I was as surprised as anyone to still be here.
Baz - I know what you mean.
Turn 9 in
Fake message too keep me on the battlefield!
Turn 9 sent.
Voilà le soleil d'Austerlitz!
What’s an illegal move between friends.... especially when you have the enemy in your sights ???
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Turn 9.1
Mindful of the threat posed by the onrushing Flash and Teaticket, Baz heads for the treetops. Stumptonian has moved to intercept Teaticket but overlaps the Spad instead. To add insult to injury he is fired upon by Camelbeagle. Sam Urai banks left at the end of his overdive and is fired upon by Hedeby once again.
Mein Flugzeug ist voller Löcher und riecht nach verbranntem Holz!
Turn 9.2
As Hedeby tries to dive immediately after his stall there is a loud crack accompanied by tearing fabric and his Spad starts to come apart. Obviously that last shot from Marechallannes did more damage than he thought and Hedeby plunges to earth. Baz now turns away from his pursuers remaining just out of range. Stumptonian has given Camelbeagle the slip and is now heading towards his wingmen.
Turn 9.3
Baz powers closer to the safety of the German lines, not far to go now. Flash is still valiantly trying to catch him but is unable to get a shot. The other Entente and Central Powers aircraft appear to be leisurely reforming with their respective wingmates.
Bugger.... stupid plane, stupid 5 point damage card.

Chris, that's what you get for skipping out on that last class in flight school.
Oh wait a minute, didn't we have a couple of pints at the pub instead of that last class?
10 in.

Turn 10 in and straight to the field hospital for me when I land! Great job by the wingmen and managed to get a successful photo in despite overshooting on the first run, which is why I am a bit behind the other two. Must have covered the whole of the two maps, these crates are slow and limited turning, which cripples you if you get rudder damage.
Thanks for the interesting game to the end thanks to the oppo, and to Andy for running it.
One of the only games I have finished so happy (but still no kills).
Baz
With the way my engine is sounding and acting up, I couldn't even catch camel beagle. Time to head home for me. I'l set the drinks up in the Messnot saying who'se tab they're going on
Turn 10 in... (still patting my shoulders, and pants, to make sure all of them embers are out)
French plane disintegrated in the air?
"Armer Franzmann..."
Chances are high to survive my first online game here in this "Flying Circus".
Turn 10 on the way...
