The first game of the evening was an Allied Artillery Spotting Mission, October 1917:

Dow's Allied pilot (I need a name for him) flew the Brisfit observation plane. He and his observer doggedly attempted to complete their mission....despite being set upon by numerous German fighters....where were the escort planes? Dow's pilot was shot in the head and crashed the bird, but on the way down his observer killed their assailant, an Albatross flown by Kaiser Bill. Dow's pilot has been recommended for an award and his observer will be mentioned in dispatches. A good show, if a short one!

Kufr Pasha (Robert) flew his Pfalz DIII with reckless abandon in the game. He shot Howard Woodstock's (Jerry) Spad XIII down. Woodstock's plane erupted in a ghastly ball of flame when his fuel tank exploded. Kufr Pasha's plane was full of holes by the end of the game. The rudder was jammed and one gun was out of action. Kufr Pasha made it home, but his ground crew cursed his name for days as they began to work on repairing his plane. Kufr Pasha gained 50 experience points for a total of 100 pts. He will roll for a skill before the next mission.

I believe Herr Schnitzelgruben (Wayne) was flying the other Pfalz DIII and will gain 25 pts for his time on the table, giving his German pilot a total of 75 pts.

I also believe Mike survived this game flying his Nieuport 17 and will gain 25 pts for a total of 75 pts.
