    Voila, another one
    Thanks to all participants, another great laugh.
    To manage, it looks like a bunch of kids :x
    Excellent day for me

    I used two game mat, given the number of participants.
    For the B-24 part, I made 2 groups of 4 bombers each and each group with 2 B-24 at altitude4 and the other two at altitude3. This was so as to be able to destroy only 2 bombers at a time with the rockets.


    Jean-Luc wins the first trophy with his victories in the first morning games (2).
    Pilots playing the P51s in the second game had a slight advantage, since everyone knew what to expect with the speed of the Me262s.
    The two games were necessary to get to grips with this speed and the "lack" of tight maneuvers, and then to attack the B-24s.


    JC wins the second game against the B-24s.
    We could only do one round (see above), so 10 rounds with 2 cards (+ speed extension) for each round.
    Nobody ran out of kerosene (much to my disappointment ), so we didn't get to see the Me163 komet in action.

    It was better to fire R4M rockets at the start of the game, as the proximity of the Me262s to the targets made it difficult to fire them later. It was also necessary to pass the D10 roll for the rockets, which was not the case for everyone.

    In the end, JC won the trophy for the whole day.
    Well done to him.
    Thanks again and...... see you next time

    A good looking game, Fox. I like the ram rockets coming off the Me.262.
    How did the P-51s manage to keep up with the Me.262s?

    Stunning photos, Fox.
    I have 4 Liberators awaiting paint and will likely use yours as examples.

    The rocket shots from the Me-262 look awesome.

    Thank you all,
    Karl : it was really hard for the P51 and also for the Messerchmidts, which are less manoeuvrable., we understand why it was preferable to shoot down the Me262 on takeoff or landing,I made the first two games so that pilots can feel the speed of the Me262.
    Next game will be with F86 sabre and Mig15
