'The Sportsman' Scenario Research


This extract from the Australian Official History is the inspiration for a scenario I'm going to write for Algernon Pulls It Off! It's a bit different as it involves at least four different types of aircraft all with very different performance and armament, as well as a range of pilot abilities. 

I have another source which identifies that the two German aircraft were an Albatros D.III and a Rumpler C.I type two seater in a fighter role, with the AFC flight being a real mish mash. The Germans definitely have the edge in this one but the Aussies will have objectives to even the odds.

The models for this will be 1/600th scale as I can  modify a Tumbling Dice BE2c and a Brisfit into the BE2e, BE12 and Martynside G100 Elephant, while the Rumpler can be converted from an Albatros C type.

  2. It's a bit obscure but I think would be a cracking game
