Mission to bomb a teddy bear factory (to lower the morale of German families) for a Handley-Page piloted by Monse, facing a pack of German fighters Fokker E.V (Wildcat), Siemens Schuckert D.III (Loïk), Phönix D.I (Philou) and a Bolshevik Sopwith Snipe renegade (Math), without forgetting 2 flak pits (planned by Philou).
The shortest game of the WOG history :
After a few actions of the HP gunners on the fighters, the Handley-Page maneuvers to avoid the flak in order to go around the target from the rear, which does not prevent the overlapping of a flak counter (damage 0).
Wildcat's Fokker E.V takes the only shot aimed at the bomber, depriving it of right maneuvers as it skirts the left edge of the carpet and ending the game: exiting the game 3 moves later with an intact cargo of bombs. Boom ...
Monse’s morale is lowered …
Very relevant end-of-mission tactical analysis from Loïk:
- with 30 structure points, the bomber does not worry about flak and focuses on the trajectory to the target.
- With 4 fighters equipped with twin machine guns facing the 2 single machine guns of the HP, let’s rush into the pile avoiding collisions and without moving away from the opponent.
