This month Si got his RAF & Luftwaffe models out on the table to entertain a few of the chaps with a Battle of Britain mini-campaign using the rules 'Blood Red Skies' from Warlord Games, and written by Andy Chambers, offering a fun action packed way of playing WWII air battles.
The campaign consisted of three scenarios played for about four-hours that resulted in a 2-1 victory for the Luftwaffe.
Scenario One was a 'Dogfight', a learning game pitting two Spitfires up against two Bf 109s.
Scenario Two, 'Fighter Sweep' that featured eight Bf 109s up against six Hurricanes and three Spitfires. This went to the Luftwaffe after the RAF ran out of fuel/ammunition or just lost morale.
Scenario Three was 'Escort', with four Bf 109s, 2 Bf 110s, and two He 111s against six Hurricanes and three Spitfires.
After the loss of a Spitfire and a Hurricane, the RAF withdrew.
The aircraft are 1/144 scale model plastic kits, and the flight stands and clouds are home made.
Really nice looking models. I like the magnetic gimble fittings. Vince
