Well, last night, as Windy Jack was away on special leave (a dinner with High Command was the rumour) the three of us (myself, Baxter and Mark) decided to give my new King Kong miniature and my experimental skeletal aircraft bases a work out. We used the rules set from the Wright Flight (downloadable from the files section).
Evidently the monster ape had been captured from his perch on the Empire State Building and transported by ship to the Thames docks where he somehow escaped...
Two Fokker D.VIIs were flown over from Europe with two Albatros D.Vs as backup machines. And so the tussle begins:
The Fokkers dance around the giant ape who, by now, was enraged by the buzzing, colourful aircraft and the stinging streams of lead:
Of course, eventually one Fokker misjudges and passes too close to the enraged ape:
With the inevitable result!
Fortunately the pilot was able to crawl from the wreckage, hurry back to the airfield and take to the air again in one of the backup Albatrii.
Meanwhile Kong continued to hand out damage!
At one point the yellow Fokker got just that bit too close and Kong grabbed the plane and flung it through the sky, narrowly missing the Albatros:
But, to no avail as the attacking aircraft braved the giant ape and continued to pour lead in its direction:
Until the great ape met it's fate - Kong has been kongquered:
