Come sir, allow them the 2d6 at you. The women's auxiliary balloon corps is no easy life

And DH2 fires. Not Fritz day
captainquincyToday at 15:01
Is that a getting on the tail test?
Dave FToday at 15:01
That's a deflection shot. In arc for a DH2

On Fast Algy you roll a D10 with the D6's to identify the strength of hit.

So 2 on a d10 hit is an engine hit basic speed only. Like it. I think that means fritz d4 goes out of the cockpit

Mr Smiley sir, is that you lurking in the dugout?
[15:24]
A quick drum change is in order.
Dave FToday at 15:24
Eindekker moves. Last again Mr Smiley is getting ready to pose nude for "the Nun and the Hun."
captainquincyToday at 15:25
I sold him that wimple last year. It didn't fit him then.
Dave FToday at 15:26
Drum change noted. The way I play this with a DH2 or any pusher is at the end of any turn. (Well now is ok) an se5 takes a whole turn.
captainquincyToday at 15:27
OK, I'll do it in lieu of a move this time.

Ah, I see he did. I'll keep him company.
Dave FToday at 15:36
He surely did. He gets one last chance...

The DH2 shoot card comes out next. Usually it's bad form but my time with the Yankee German ace taught me that it's often necessary to shoot a spinner!

Interesting stuff. How about writing up a how to for the io group then? Things like how to get the photos on to Discord etc.
Dave FToday at 15:44
I'll do that. Don't think you need a hex grid overview, it works.
captainquincyToday at 15:45
Getting photos on is OK. I will be posting a Thursday game prelude tonight anyway.

Splendid. A word of warning though - the work load increases exponentially with more players. Looks fun though.
