Two Nieuport 16 equipped with Le Prieur rockets (operated by Antsaintex) must destroy a balloon defended by a Fokker E.III and an Albatros D.II (Monse at the controls).
The planes inflict B damage.
Aircraft and balloon start at altitude 4.
The game is played on two mats.
1. First shot of the brown Nieuport at the balloon (0 damage points).
2. Consecutive shot by the brown Nieuport that jams and shot by the green Nieuport at the balloon (5 points).
3. The Fokker and Albatros fire jointly at the green Nieuport (1 point), which slows down and does not fire at the balloon in preparation for the rocket launch.
4. Impact of the rockets on the balloon (3 points + Flame damage).
5. Balloon reaches altitude 3.
First Flame counter removed (1 point).
6. The Fokker and both Nieuports turn around, with the green one shooting at the balloon (1 point) rather than at the Albatros.
