With a Bull Run campaign running by email but not yet resulting in battle we took a break from ACW & dusted off the WWI 1/72nd scale airplanes using our old Modder Fokker house rules.
British: Lt Oakford (Camel). Lt Nash (SPAD). Lt Arthur minor (Camel).
Germans: Oberleutant Gandy (Pfalz). Lt Jendrich (Fokker DVII). Lt Pearson (Albatros).
The Germans are on the left.
The dogfight starts in two parts: Camel v. Fokker on the left & the other 4 mixing it up on the right.
The two dogfights coalessed, then the Pfalz gets on the Spad's tail & the pair split off. The SPAD used it's speed to break away, but it was lucky in receiving few hits, it received critial airframe damage.
Meanwhile the Fokker & Albatros combined to shoot the wings off Lt Oakford's Camel.
The Brits might have been wiser to run for it, but they gamely turned back into the fray.
The Pfalz & the Albatross ganged up on the 2nd camel as the Fokker kept the SPAD occupied.
A lucky shot from the SPAD dmaged the Pfalz wich flew off to a safe distance while the Fokker & Albatross finished off the SPAD.
Lt Pearson took the honours with 3 shared kills, Lt Jendrich shared 2 kills & Ob Gandy shared 1 kill in a 3 nill German victory.

Beautiful planes and a great looking action.
It's funny, in a couple of those photos the player's cards look like RC units!!
