For Christmas my wife got me not one but two Zeppelin Staaken R.VI's. Today I managed to get one of them to the table, in a modified (to give both German players something to do in the second part) of the three-part scenario included in the box. The bombs missed their targets but the Staaken made it home and enough English scouts were shot down that the Germans still ended up ahead on points. It helped that QA on the English ammunition evidently wasn't up to snuff - they got an awful lot of jams.
The XA deck being ... lacking in variety, I'd been a bit concerned flying the giant itself would be rather boring, but I found there still some interesting decisions to do. And I clearly need to practice on getting the bombs to end up where I want them ...
