Thread: Suggestions on missions

  1. #1

    Default Suggestions on missions

    I have the following:
    Camel
    2 se5a + 2 more
    Nieuport 17
    the US big bomberv DH4 I think

    Red baron DR1
    Goring DVII
    2 pfalz
    one albatross
    Roland
    and a rumpler

    What sort of pairings and or missions can I run for this group of planes? I can grab another allied 2 seater and a pfalz from a LGS, and I am having some friends over to play on Saturday evening. Any and all ideas accepted.

    ok, I added two more se5a's to the mix and will have a group of about 6 paying tomorrow night. Myself and one other have played before and I want one training mission ( I have this covered), but then I want to go multi-plane mission. any help is greatly appreciated.

    Ok, the Camel and Dr.I are a good match-up, as well as the D.VII vs. S.E.5a. The Nieuport 17 is inferrior to all other fighters except the Alb D.III in a Duel, that is.

    ere's a mission:

    Rumpler Escorted by a Pfalz and a Dr.I, trying to bomb a target guarded by 2 AA guns and a Camel an S.E.5a and a Nieport 17. If you don't have AA guns, you can change the Camel to an S.E.5a.

    thanks. I downloaded the bombing explanation but I am not sure where the rules are for calculating damage or do you just assume that it destroyed what was bombed. I was toying with running a dual bombing mission. both sides are trying to bomb the opposing table edge.

    As far as bombing damage is concerned, it is up to you. I would say that for a regular target it would either need a direct hit or two partials with a single bomb, or any of those with the full payload.

    Sounds good. I went back to the store and got another pfalz and a Breguet BR.14 B2. My wife is going to kill me. There is a Gervais Lufbery & Georges Thenault nieuport and a kibanov nieuport 23 I can go get, would it be worth it?

    Yes, the Lufbery/Thenault are very rare. Get it while you can! This and the Udet DVa have been the most difficult for me to come by.

    How 'bout a scenario I used recently - two light bombers (either allied or central powers) are returning from a night raid on the railhead at Gromigny. An unexpected head wind however delayed their return to their own lines and dawn finds them short of the freindly end of the table by it's full length. Oppsing scouts are in the air already at the mid point of the table while a rescue force of scouts, having spotted the inneffective archie that follows the bombers cross the lines in order to try to get the 2-seaters home.
