    Default April 2022 Workbench

    I finally finished my HP.42 modifications to produce a totally fictitious HP. O-MG.

    I also took a first run at management cards for it:

    Yep, I was very happy with the way it turned out. I suspect I’ll have to tweak damage points and manoeuvre deck to stop it being either too dominant or too weak!

    What a beastie ! Slightly faster & slightly weaker than the Staaken - it will be interesting to see how it performs in action Wayne, I'm sure we won't have long to wait with your willing testers nearby !

    Morning gents, objectives this month are the following...

    From the production line:
    On the last mission "a spark of hope" it was evident to QH that a single plane can not bring down a tripod so Jean Navarre has put in a request for two new Nieuport 16s.

    From Amin HQ:
    ° Our boys on the ground are getting massacred so new rules of engagement will be drawn up for the following: Infantry. Heavy Machine Gun. 75mm Field Gun.
    ° Jean Navarres initial use of "Rockets" was rather complicated so a new version will be proposed.
    ° HQ wishes to put into place "Character Sheets",officers only for the moment, to track your progression. This in time is hoped to enable you to learn new skills and be more effective against this new enemy.
    Note that initial versions will be posted in "House Rules" and all feedback is welcome.

    ...debrief is for the 25th, and Jean Navarre informs me that he will be re-flying "A spark of Hope" between the 26th and the begining of May, with whatever has been completed by that date. So lets not let him down and lets get to work. Jolly good show and what not.... who has got my tea and biscuits?

    Looking good! One minor point on the card - the text for the hit points should be green, not black.

    What is the wingspan on that monster? How does it compare to the Handley-Page V/1500? (38.4m/126ft)

    A very fine warbird indeed Wayne.
    It will be interesting to assess its performance.

    Awesome!

    Looks like a real handful for the Central Powers to deal with.

    Hello all its 25th feedback time.

    From the production line:
    I managed to make and paint 2 Nieuport 16s. I am quite pleased with the second as the proportions are better. The flying stands were a bit fiddly and to copy the same system as the plastic ones in wood did not work, so I opted for a single stand per altitude:

    From Amin HQ:
    ° proposed rules for ground troops are up in the T&T house rules section
    ° proposed rules for modifying rockets are up in the T&T house rules section

    all feedback is welcome.

    ° "Character Sheets" are taking a bit more time than I thought, I will include them in Mays' Workbench :-)
