If I don't get my act together to run the Battle of Britain Finest Hour scenarios at the club in January, I was going to fall back on my Japanese and Soviet Khlakhin Gol option, but instead I'm now thinking of running another 1/285th scale mid-war RAF Vs Luftwaffe game.
This was inspired by some fantastic art work I discovered today by a French artist, Antoine Crespin, whose style and subject matter is very similar to Romain Hugault, although with fewer pin ups! It's also an obvious choice, as I have the aircraft models and cards already prepared, assuming I just do a re-run of Sinker Saves the Day.
I'm tempted to have a crack at a new scenario, however, based on some research I did a few years ago into an escort mission in April 1943 by six No146 Squadron Spitfire V's for three No238 Squadron Whirlwinds. Nothing actually happened on that sortie but my scenario would see the RAF attacked by JG2 fighters, leading to a proper scrap over the Channel Islands.
It's a bit sketchy and I'll need to reference my original notes but there's a game in there somewhere!
