Wings of Glory - Late War

Despite Melbourne being in full winter the trees decided it was a great time to blossom. With dark, threatening clouds outside it was a great time to organise another Skype game of Wings of Glory.

This time we decided on late war. Two Sopwith Snipes against a Fokker D.VII and a high wing monoplane Fokker E.V

A very even contest with each plane taking some hits, but no prolonged bursts. My luck ran out when my E.V caught fire and slowly burnt. A Snipe was shot down shortly after, leaving just one each side.

The two remaining enemies circled each other warily, taking the occasional shot. Not easy to get other than fleeting shots, since the planes are both fast and maneouvrable.

Eventually they ran out of ideas, fuel and bullets and headed home.
