Origins 2022 - game 7 – The Sky Darkens – Sat 1pm
Saturday’s second game was a Battle of Britain game. A flight of Dornier 17s escorted by Bf 109s are attacked by a squadron of Spitfires just after they crossed the channel. 11 players signed on for this game, 6 RAF vs 5 Luftwaffe. The Dorniers were flown randomly with a reduced deck.
The starting positions.
The action begins.
The Dorniers sense the oncoming threat and turn to follow their escort.
As soon as the Spitfires get pass the 109s they start to drop down towards the bombers.
The 109s chase the Spitfires behind the bombers and overshoot them. Some Spits now have a clear run at the Dorniers.
Three Spitfires do their job and tie down the majority of 109s, setting one on fire.
The lead Dornier is also set to flames.
The 109s are now out of position and the Spitfires head straight at the bombers.
The first Dornier is downed and the Spits race to catch up to the next.
The burning Do 17 stands no chance and is quickly dispatched.
All 3 Dorniers are downed and the RAF rules the day. The Luftwaffe return to their bases across the channel to lick their wounds but will be back.
