Just played my first game (solo) with a Sopwith Snipe vs an Albatros D.VA. I played both aircraft as normal (just rolling dice to see which plane would move first, although it makes no difference) and as I like both planes, hopefully they were played without any bias! There was a lot of manouevering, with the Snipe doing a lot of sharp right-hand turns and the Albatros doing quite a few Immelmans. Damage-wise, the Albatros was very, very lucky, drawing at least five cards with zero damage! However, it still suffered 6 damage points, a wounded pilot (the first exchange of fire in the game resulted in both pilots being wounded) and two machine gun jams. The Snipe, on the other hand, suffered 16 damage (so was shot down), with a wouded pilot, jammed left rudder and smoke trails.
I enjoyed it very much
