​February Game Report 

The Indy Squadron gathered at the Meister's home in Indianapolis on February 2nd for a trio of games featuring five players (Ethan, A. J., Bob, Michael and Stephen). Mrs. Meister served a delicious round of bacon wrapped mini dogs, Magic Bars chocolate desert and an array of snacks (thank you!).

This session had a different feel entirely. Instead of the DP's infamous Chart Patrol slavery in which we played only the scenarios dictated by the random charts, we let anyone at the table design their own mission. We played three interesting and fun filled scenarios and here's how they turned out. 

Game 1 

​Set in June 1917, the first game pitted three French Nieuport 17's flown by Bob, Michael and Stephen against a pair of Albatros DVa's piloted by Ethan and A. J. Although the German team appeared to be underdogs on paper due to their lack of experience, they actually flew a flawless game and fought the French Nieuport's to a draw despite some expert tailing by two-time Red Baron Fight champion Michael Morgan. No aerial victories were scored and all participants flew home safely.
