Pair of Tripes vs DH4 AAR #2:

 

In the second game, after my son had to leave, Jim W and I flew Fokker Dr.Is against Irish John’s DH4.

 

My Red Fokker is on the left and Jim W in the Blue is on the right squaring off against Irish’s DH4

First exchange with my Fokker getting smacked with 5 damage points and a gun jam with Irish only getting hit with 2 points. Note the detail in the top wing ribbing of my TableTopFlights printed plane.

Irish continues to pour it on with me getting another 5 points of damage.

Irish gives another parting shot of 1 plus a tailing bonus of 1. I now have 12 points of damage with only one left before my demise.

Fortunately Jim swoops in to take on the DH4.

The relentless DH4 puts a severe hurt on Jim with a Boom card, a damage point and rudder damage.

I’m able to return to the fray and score a hit on his crew which results in the observer being wounded and unable to return fire for the rest of the encounter.

Unfortunately for me, Irish puts another 3 damage points on me and I spiral into the dirt.

The Blue Fokker and the DH4 duke it out over several turns. Fortunately for Jim, the loss of the DH4’s observer makes it a more even fight.

 

Finally the Fokker gets a telling starboard shot on the DH4.

And down goes Irish.

Jim’s Fokker is beat up but still airworthy with 5 damage points to spare.

A good match up with these aircraft and an enjoyable game.

Good games. Glad to see AAR's up and running again. I would have given you rep but that love heart thing does not seem to do that.

Great looking game!  Glad to see some AAR on the new site!

Tough birds those DH.4s

Thank you Gary, Dan, Dave for your positive comments. I find that posting these AARs is easier than under the old version of Aerodrome. I made a few missteps but with a little trial and error and Dave's help, I got it figured out.
