    Default WGF Scenario FB02 – A Rough Reception

    After bombing Folkestone, a Gotha is heading back across the English Channel to its base in Belgium. It has got past the home defences, but encounters planes from the RNAS, two Sopwith triplanes.

    Although being constantly challenged by the triplane, the Gotha is making good progress towards home, and it is able to give as well as get. So it does not deviate from its goal.

    The gun is clear, so the Sopwith goes on the attack again, despite smoke pouring out of it.

    This game only took a half an hour, so we played again, with two players swapping planes. The result was much the same – a short game and the Gotha safely back to base. I realised after preparing the AAR and looking at the photographs again that it would be unlikely that the RNAS would pursue planes over enemy territory. It is more likely that when the Gotha reached the coast, they would swing away and head for home.
    We played this scenario 5 years ago. The only difference in the outcome then was that both triplanes were downed!!!

    Great AAR Windy. I flew a Triplane in the first game and the Gotha in the second game. Once the Gotha was past the Tripes in the second game it was just a matter of picking the fastest card which was a straight and running for home. The Tripes did eventually get into range but not in time to prevent me returning to base. I guess the scouts were just not fast enough to force a successful conclusion for the Entente.

    An interesting challenge which looks to me to be pretty even handed, well done to the Gotha for winning each game.

    Well done to the Gotha!

    Thanks for posting the report.
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
