‘Origins’ Through the Helmut-Cam; Game #7, Friday 23rd June 2023
“Raid on New Guinea”
This was a game which unfortunately only attracted 4 sign-ups, so we waited a short while to see whether anyone passing by would like to join.
When play commenced, it was decided that there were not enough players to intercept the B-25s as planned, so that scenario was dropped in favour of a straight-up dogfight, two vs two.
Lovely mat!

My good (evil?) self in the “off-white” ‘Zeke’ with a red fuselage band – my first ever outing in this type of plane. You might say I had “Zero” previous experience? :takecover:
Attachment 329535
Oh, no! My wingman in flames – not good news.
Attachment 329536
My opponent and I cannot target each other on this pass.
Attachment 329537
The other Aussie can chase me, though.
Attachment 329538
No guns-on-target for me here, either.
Attachment 329539
NOW I get a shot in…
Attachment 329540
…then I overcook the follow-up – Damn but these P-40s are fast!
Attachment 329541
My wingman goes down.
Attachment 329542
Then his respawn appears.
Attachment 329543
An interested passer-by is roped in too!
Attachment 329544
Just as well, for at this point I get chopped! (Kills 0, Shot Down #1)
Attachment 329545
A close-run head-to-head!
Attachment 329546
Jockeying for position.
Attachment 329547
“BOOM” One for His Majesty the Emperor!
Attachment 329548
The other Aussie is chasing after me.
Attachment 329549
Our new arrival cuts him off.
Attachment 329550
The Aussie respawn arrives…
Attachment 329551
…is he trying to land on the airstrip?
Attachment 329552
I Immelmann and catch him. My respawned wingman exchanges fire with the other P-40.
Attachment 329553
Everyone survives!
Attachment 329554
Until, that is, the passer-by latecomer goes down!
Attachment 329555
TIME!
Attachment 329557
A clear Allied victory.
