Thread: SECRET MISSION FOR A LONE AVIATIK

  1. #1

    Default SECRET MISSION FOR A LONE AVIATIK

    An Austro-Hungarian Aviatik D.I (operated by Antsaintex) has to make a landing on a secret position behind the enemy lines, defended by 3 anti-aircraft guns and two Italian Hanriot HD.1 and Nieuport 11 fighters (Monse at the controls).

    The three fighters inflicted A damage.
    A cloud cover extends over all altitude 3.
    The planes start at altitude 2.
    The game is played on two game mats.



    1. After an approach phase in the cloud cover, the Aviatik surprises its opponents and descends to altitude 2, avoiding the fire of an anti-aircraft machine gun.



    2. The Aviatik misses its shotfrom lower altitude on the Nieuport (0 points).



    3. After two maneuvers, the Aviatik successfully fires from lower altitude at the Nieuport (2 points + Flame damage).



    4. Long range shot from the Hanriot on the Aviatik (1 point + damage to the left rudder).
    Removal of the first Flame counter for the Nieuport (2 points).



    5. Consecutive shot from the Hanriot on the Aviatik (4 points).



    6. New consecutive shot from the Hanriot on the Aviatik (3 points + right rudder damage).



    7. Split-S of the Aviatik (3 points + damage to the left rudder), targeted by the Italian fighters, but it jams while returning fire on the Hanriot (4 points).
    Withdrawal of the second flame counter for the Nieuport (2 points).



    8. The Hanriot shoots at the Aviatik (3 points) which misses its approach phase to land.



    9. Incredible formation flight situation, without collision.



    10. Removal of the third flame counter for the Nieuport (2 points).



    11. A few maneuvers later, the Hanriot eliminates the Aviatik as it tries to land (2 points).

    Conclusion : difficult mission failed for the Austro-Hungarian fighter, which did not succeed in landing on the secret position.
    The Hanriot suffered 4 points of damage and the Nieuport 8 points.

    Valiant fight by the Aviatik.

    Interesting scenario! That Aviatik was going to have a tough time against those maneuverable Italians!

    Nice one, Simon, that Aviatik was up against it from the start

    Fun AAR, Simon. The Aviatik put up a good fight but was out-gunned. Run this mission again and the outcome may be different....and probably will be.

    Simon that AAR was fun and brutal. I really enjoyed all of the action

    Nice AAR. Well done.
    The machine guns had no effect on the game, which is a good thing for the Aviatik.

    Photo n°4 : An error of appreciation of the distance to land led me (Antsaintex) to try to reposition myself. I was then very embarrassed by the "difficult maneuver (sign <>)" characteristic of the stall card, which must be played every turn in this scenario. Indeed, as you know, playing 2 "difficult maneuver" cards in a row is not allowed. In retrospect, I would have lost nothing by attempting the landing. I still had a good time.

    Interesting, and different from the usual. Seemed a bit of a tall order for the Austro-Hungarians.
