This evening I played a tank scenario with my children (8 and 6). Using the rules and cards found in the WW1 files section, we had 3 British mk V tanks moving towards the German trench line. We took a Fokker, an albatross and a captured sopwith camel to try to take them out using bombs.
I charged straight at the tanks with my camel, the children were more cautious and went round the flanks. Although I took out one tank, I got a lot of fire from the others. The albatross then came in with a near miss on one tank, before the camel used it's tight right turns to come from behind and finish the job. The remaining tank put a few holes in all three aircraft, only to find both its guns jammed for 3 phases. We finally took it out just as it's tracks were nosing the trench line. The camel and the albatross were both heavily damaged, the Fokker got off more lightly.
A good scenario, enjoyable and easy for the children to get the hang of.
