Battle of Britain Campaign #3

We've started playing the Battle of Britain Campaign that will come out with the Angels One Six kickstarter.

Fresh from their first victories over Dunkirk, the Germans sought fresh prey. James took them on in his first game of Angels One Six.

By now, the German pilots were amass a few experience points, but had yet to cash them in for new tricks or improved ratings. One of their pilots, having flown in all three games, would end this game shattered, desperately in need of a rest before flying again. If Sofia really needed him to fill out numbers, she could roster him on for further flights, but his ratings would drop until he managed to get a day off.

James contemplates his options as the German Me 109 fighters and Ju 87 Stuka dive bombers head west across the French countryside.

Jame's Spitfires approach the onrushing armada.

The four aircraft in the background aren't in the game.

The lead Spitfire rushes past the nearest Stuka before performing an Immelmann turn onto its tail. The wingman takes a more direct approach pouring bullets into the Stuka, but with little effect.

In the German turn, the Stukas plough onwards as the lead Messerschmitt Me 109 makes a head-on pass against the wingman's Spitfire.

With the lack of effect of the leader's pass, the second Messerschmitt opens fire on the same Spitfire at long range, to equally little effect.

The leader's Spitfire goes in behind the Stuka, guns blazing. In an excellent display of shooting, the Stuka goes down.

His wingman takes potshots at the leading Messerschmitt before swing around to follow its leader.

Back in the German turn, and things are looking up when the German wingman scores some solid hits on the British leader, bringing them down.

Rattled by the Spitfire's shooting, the lead German Me 109 blasts past the Stuka, barely manoeuvring.

Back with the Spitfire's turn, the surviving aircraft completes its turn, lining up on the second Stuka.

The Germans respond. The leader, recovering his wits, pulls an Immelmann, lining up for a head-on pass with the Spitfire. His wingman completes his turn, coming back into the fight.

Opening fire, the Spitfire brings down the second Stuka, winning a British victory for the mission.

Caught between the two Messerschmitts, the Spitfire ends its move with a turn, hoping to cut between the German fighters.

But it was not to be. With an excellent display of full-deflection shooting, the German wingman brings the Spitfire down.

While the British won, claiming two victims, the Germans remained the only aircraft left on the field.
