Three Aces Scenario

 

After all that effort to devise a fictitious Luftwaffe fighter squadron for the Battle of Britain Finest Hour project, I've decided not to use it for the club game in a couple of weeks, instead running one of the scenarios from the Red Star Rampant article instead. This is the 'Three Aces' scenario, which has three Japanese aces in obsolete Ki-10 biplane fighters, taking on a full squadron of I-16's on 2nd September 1939, right at end of the Khalkhin Gol incident. I have played this one myself but haven't used it for a club game, so thought it would be a good option and would allow me to spend the last bit of the holidays on something more interesting than scenario writing. The only thing I've had to do is work up some aircraft record sheets using my template, as this is better than a single squadron record sheet when you have multiple players rather than just one or two. It's a bit of a different scenario and I really enjoyed it when I played it solo, so I'm hoping the club players will too.
