A very enjoyable game today, played 'al fresco' on the garden table, in which the boys of Jasta 11 well and truly pasted the RAF. In the first turn both sides spotted the opposition blinds and decloaked, followed by a single turn of formation flying before splitting up into a dogfight. The RAF flight leader, Capt.King, was an early casualty, killed by a burst of fire from Vzfw.Scholtz.
A few turns later, Ltn.Weiss forced Lt.O'Niell to lose control, following him down so that when he recovered he could be finished off, going down in flames after a devastating burst of fire 'on the tail'. By this time Ltn,Weiss was out of ammunition, so he decided to fly off leaving Scholtz to tangle with Capt.Loudon, no doubt expecting another easy victory over the last remaining RAF pilot.
The plucky Capt.Loudon ran rings around him, however, and managed to stick it out to the end of turn ten, when the scenario finished due to lack of fuel. A good game but I've bumped up Lt..O'Niell to a veteran and reduced the time limit to ten turns, so that it balances things out a bit more and to give the No.43 Squadron pilots more of a fighting chance.
Cracking looking game
