Racing, Not Shooting – Introduction and Race 3

[Windy Jack]

I put a written report in the “Racing, Not Shooting” thread under Mission Discussions. I received a request there for pictures, and so here are Races 3 & 4, which I will put into two threads because of the number of photographs.

The differences between these two races and races 1 & 2 are these. Firstly, planes have to go around the central marker three times; and secondly, penalties were applied when planes collided with a marker. The penalties are 1) a plane is moved sideways until it is clear of the marker, and 2) it misses one manoeuvre. (It so happened in these games that planes collided with one of the markers on the last card of a turn. Therefore in their next turn, they chose just two manoeuvre cards.)


Race 3 – SPAD VII vs Aviatik D.I
Photographs were taken at the end of each turn, except when planes were approaching the finish line when they were taken on each manoeuvre, and in turn 5 when there was nearly a collision.

Hi Doug. That looked like a good game. Congrats to the Aviation pilot.
