On a recent thrift run I found a complete copy of the American Heritage Dogfight game. Vintage goodness and flying fun. I like this game a lot. Had a chance to play two sessions of this as we waited for the full club to meet on Thursday night.
Mr. T. played the Germans and I took the American planes. I won the first game by allowing the Germans to run into my "bug zapper" anti-aircraft guns. I did have a double ace in that one.
Come on double ace!
The second game was rife with play mechanic inaccuracies but we gave the game to Mr. T. in a fun eight card exchange that included 3 loop defense cards. A good laugh because that is about as awesome a card series as this game could create.
The second table game of the night was Hordes in the Trenches.
This one was a grinder as the French British allied attack ran into a well defended trench.
Mr.'s T. and T. commanded a staunch German line.
Love seeing the old Airfix in action; the switchover to black & white was inspiring. It looks like photos when Airfix was a mainstay of wargamers.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting post for your WW1 Gaming - most nostalgic. Do like the little Planes - looks like SE5A's vs Albatross...interesting. Cheers. KEV.
