    AAR #1 I had a new 3D full color print to show off and CrashCraig brought his blue-fuselage Ottoman Empire Albatros C.III so we had a little photo recon mission with Todd and John defending the objective in Naval Sopwith Camels.

    I didn't look closely at my model when it arrived in December. I wonder if a hot water bath will fix this.

    After flying parallel for two maneuvers, Craig decides to bank to the right while the Sopwiths are closing.

    Why is it when there is an overlap, my airplane is the one that has to use a card? My costume card for this custom airplane hasn't arrived so I had to use the card provided with Frommherz's Albatros D.III. However, Craig's observer is able to get some shots off on Todd.

    Craig's on fire, John is overlapping me, and I'm still using a card. John gets two close shots on Craig, but his observer returns the favor.

    Now, I am real again and get to show off my lovely smoke. Craig is heading for the objective with John on his tail and Todd in his way.

    After much buzzing around, including Craig heading away from the objective, my escorting duties are over. Terrible draw of cards.

    Unfortunately, Craig went down on the same maneuver.

    Todd took some damage, but not enough to stop him. Craig commented on his apparent lack of displaying smoke. It would have boosted our morale.

    John did not suffer very much. Looks like the Brits won this game.

    AAR #2 - Dogfight

    I flew Herman Goering's white Fokker D.VII while John flew his captured Sopwith Camel. We are going to have to get him a proper German aircraft. CrashCraig flew Nieuport 28 "12" while Todd flew Nieuport 28 "14."

    Todd has forced John to use his card, while Craig and I are having a go on the right side of the photo. Altitude rules are NOT in effect so his 2-peg Nieuport is easy prey to my 4-peg Fokker.

    John was on fire so he asked Craig what he had to do.
    Craig said, "You cannot play a straight."
    "How about an Immelmann turn?"
    "No, because that requires two straights."
    So, of course, the first card John played while on fire was a straight. An extra A damage card for that. Anyway, John was out pretty quickly.

    Again, I am on the card with Craig getting a long range shot at me.

    Every time I drew a card, Craig and Todd would ask if I was still in the game. I lasted quite a while until two very bad cards did me in.

    Add Craig with eight. The Central Powers took it on the chin for a second time.

    Tough luck Robert.
    But you do get a shot from my Rep gun for posting the two AARs.
