I tried out Algy's Dastardly Dogfight Mission Generator today and came up with this scenario. Here's the process step by step.
I decided on April 1917 as my time slot, picking Sopwith Triplanes for the RNAS, as they were not flown by the RFC, and Albatros DIII scouts for the Luftstreitkrafte.
The RNAS rolled up a Flight of 2 aircraft and the Germans rolled up a Kette of 4.
The RNAS Squadron roll was 2 + 4 so I added the numbers to get No.6 Squadron. The Germans rolled 5 + 1 so I combined them to get Jasta 15.
The RNAS rolled up a flight leader Captain (Regular) and a Lieutenant (Regular). The Germans rolled up a kette fuhrer Hauptmann (Regular), an Oberleutnant (Junior Ace), a Leutnant (Sprog) and a Leutnant (Regular).
The starting Altitude for the RNAS rolled up as 11 and for the Germans 10.
The RNAS rolled up an entry point to the West and the Germans to the North East.
Finally, the Sun Position was rolled as due South.
This all seemed to work out well, apart from a lingering feeling that the ranks need to be bumped down a bit, which would be easy to build in if NCO pilots were included. The RNAS are going to have a fight on their hands due to being outnumbered and less experienced, but that fits 'Bloody April' to a tee, so I'm happy with the outcome.
For game play I've named the pilots after beers...why not?!
Captain Greene-King
Lieutenant Boddington
Hauptmann Bitberger
Oberleutnant Becks
Leutnant Warsteiner
Leutnant Rothaus
Tally Ho!
