We had a very enjoyable game of Knights of the Sky at the club last night, with twelve players spilt into two groups of six, half RFC, RNAS and Aviation Militaire and half German Imperial Air Service. At the start of the game the Allies weren't confident about their chances, faced by the combined firepower of five Alabtros DIII's and a Roland CII, but by the end of the game, they were the victors having shot down five of the Hun for the loss of only three aircraft. There were the usual funny moments and we all had a great time, which means another game will be on the cards before Xmas, assuming I get my act together and build some more biplanes. Tally Ho!
Welcome to my blog. I have upwards of 100 projects in various stages of incompletion or total abandonment, so you may well find something of interest if you rummage about a bit. I concentrate on solo air and naval wargaming but other 'skirmishy' things quite often pop up out of nowhere, only to disappear again after something else grabs my attention. I even finish the occasional project now and again!

That looks like it was great fun.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Yes it was a very enjoyable game!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic-looking game. The hex map layout looks very impressive; was it custom made?
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Andy
Yes it was made by the rules author years ago. I think he blew up a boardgame map and had it laminated?
