    Default Does this ever happen to you?

    Today we had 3 games of WW1 Wings of Glory as our end of Year bash at the club
    They were a demonstration that the 'Dice gods' are happy to mess up card driven games too!

    If you want to see the games, please go to this LINK (Please click on the LINK)

    Nice games. I sometimes wonder if the Dice gods and the Card gods are the same group of jerks that like to give gamers around the world a hard time. LOL!

    Its games like these we remember! The unpredictability of the cards keeps this game fresh.

    All to frequently, Richard, last week I survived two manoeuvres from initial contact and we play booms as half damage ! I got 2RRD from the first shot; a Boom & another 2 at +1 (12) for the second; then a 3wnd from a second machine that put me down.. Oh, and my guns jammed.! I was using a Pfalz D.IIIa
    Have a good Christmas

    Any time a mechanic uses 'random' outcomes for results, weird events are possible.

    Things like a friend cutting the damage deck to avoid the Boom card, and drawing the Boom card anyway, are amusing, if tragic. Having a pilot race head-on into an encounter, thinking 20mm cannons would outgun .303 cal MGs, but drawing two pilot wounds for the close range damage, was also worth a laugh. The target plane drawing all '0's, was just salt in the wound.
