With the planes from the Bandits High starter, I got my first game in! It was a lot of fun (solo for now to learn and because I moved last week and haven't met new gamers). I played the entry scenario, with the P-38 dropping the enemy Zero in just a couple short rounds. The aces led, with their lesser comrades falling in behind. Quickly the moves seemed to turn into swirl of aces hunting the tails of the softest targets. In the first round, the Japanese ace damaged the US Wildcat, while the US ace damaged the zero. The game came down to who could line up the first killing blow! In the next round, shots were ineffective due to the two damaged planes flying away to avoid being shot again, but on the 3rd and final round, the Zero gambled as bait to lure the P-38 into the crossfire of both Japanese planes. It's gamble failed and it didn't survive the round. Overall, this game is really fun! I plan on playing more and will be trying to form a group in my new location. This is all made possible by BoomerBill! Thanks!

Great to hear that you're hooked. Best wishes on building a group.

Any tips for the side that doesn't win initiative? I'd like to try to use that window to bait, but I have yet to test it. Cleaning up a massive flood we had here in MO has kept me from getting in the air these past few days.
