Well...we played our first two games last night.

October 1917: Allied artillery spotting mission. The Allies failed in their mission. Although the Allied recon plane circled the area as required by the mission, the observer was far too busy fending off fighter planes to do any observing! The Allied observer plane (BE-2 Brisfit) was shot down as it headed for home...but took down the Albatross that had shot it down. A Spad XIII was blown out of the sky, but the Pfalz DIII that got the kill was a bullet magnet for the entire game...but made it home.

November 1917: German fighter sweep. This mission was a success for the Germans. Two Albatross and two Pfalz DIII's took on two Nieuport 17's, a Spad XIII and a Spad VII. Both Nieuports were shot down for the loss of one Pfalz DIII (iirc). The two Spad's left the field as their gas ran out. Both Albatross had to glide to landings behind their own lines.

I will add more details when I have access to my paperwork!
