Conwy Wargames Club WW1 Air combat Game 4

The final game of the day.

Scenario 

The Red Baron and 2 wing men are chasing the Russian pilot Pyotr Nikolayevich Nesterov. Pyotr's plane has taken damage and his guns do not work however he can use his trade mark ramming technique. Coming to his rescue are a flight of British planes.

The Game

The Germans start in front of Nesterov blocking his escape



This game saw us use some homemade rules Chris had introduced for climbing and diving (as well as ramming). We quickly got the hang of things, and promptly missed used the rules by becoming highly aerobatic and impossible to hit. Chris picked up on our errors and got us back on track flying more like the WW1 planes.


The Germans blaze away and do little damage

The British arrive



At this point in the game we were still using the climbing and diving rules incorrectly but it does look atmospheric



Once Chris had restored order to our manoeuvring we began to take hits but by home time we'd all survived and had a jolly good time!
