Or as they say, it's not all a bed of roses in the Womens' Auxiliary Balloon Corps. Enough Blackadder references. Suffice to say that I have always had something of a thing for WWI aircraft, a diet of Biggles books as a child, movies growing up.
A perfect confluence of events - the purchase of a hex mat to play Battle of Britain games, Alex from Storm of Steel making the 'Algy' rules from the Too Fat Lardies available, a 3d printer and perhaps most importantly, Jimbo from the Virtual Lard Discord channel generously sharing the STL files he has created, next thing you know I have way more 1/144 WWI aircraft than I will ever need.
So my regular opponent and I got out some early war Fokkers and DH2 -
All in all it was great fun, and who doesn't love a game where you can shout 'Tally Ho!' and make 'dakka dakka' noises?
WWI aerial combat is always fun.
ReplyDeleteLoved every miniute
ReplyDeleteLove it. I have fond memories from last century of a game system using 1/72 scale WWI aircraft on stands made of a base, a length of dowl, wire and a clothes peg. We would buzz around the wargaming club hall :-)
