Scenario Character Cards

I've been working on the character cards for the Bag the Hun scenario and have now decided on the main roles for squadron and section leaders. In the process I discovered some key details for one of the RAF section leaders, which I've allocated to P/O H.T. Armstrong RAAF, who played a pivotal role in the dogfight by attacking a Bf-109 that was on the tail of one of the other pilots, P/O Bush. It is probably much to his credit that no aircraft were lost in the engagement by No.129 Squadron.

I thought Armstrong deserved some recognition for this, so have made him Blue Section Leader for the game, as I already knew he was a Blue Section pilot from earlier reports. A bit of further digging and I found out that he ended up as Squadron Leader of No.611 Squadron with a DFC and bar, achieving twelve kills before being shot down and killed in February 1943. I think this is more than enough to justify a role in the scenario and possibly a special characteristic to reflect his aggression in combat.
