10 or more players, Western Front, Dolphins/Bristols vs. German two seaters/escorts
 
Two Seater Special
by Scott Jones
 
The target for the German two seaters is an Allied bridge deep inside British lines. But just destroying the bridge isn't good enough... you have to prove that you did it.
 
The first wave of LVG bombers attacks the bridge itself and will have at least one randomly rolled German fighter as an escort. The second wave of Hannover CLIV's is equipped with cameras to photograph the damage. At least one Hannover will also carry bombs in case the LVG's fail to destroy the target. One additional (randomly rolled) German fighter will escort the Hannovers into the combat zone. The German fighter types will be determined by separate rolls.
 
The bridge is defended by a mix of Dolphins and Bristols. Any numerical advantage belongs to the Germans.
