| Volume 30, Number 5 & 6 Rick Wins 5th Whosyercon Open Rick Lacy is getting better at tournament play. It took him thirteen years to win Indy's Armistice day title. He needed eight years to win his first Silver Goblet at Red Baron Fight. And he won last weekend's Whosyercon Open in just his fifth try. George Henion, Stephen and Ethan Skinner flew Oeffag Albatros DIII Series 53 fighters against Rick, Bruce Yoder and Bob Meister in Italian Nieuport 17's equipped with both deck mounted Vickers and wing mounted Lewis guns. The scenario was set 6,500 feet above the Italian Alps in September 1917. The game began in spectacular fashion when Rick's Nieuport took a shot on George's Albatros at the end of Turn One. Rick managed only three hits, but two of them lodged in the Albatros' Austro-Daimler engine. | |

Your editor generally doesn't pay much attention to statistics because the Indy Squadron Dispatch is written and designed specifically for members of the Indy Squadron Dawn Patrol gaming group. We hope that our content will interest outside readers and many times it does, however, the newsletter remains true to its original mission - to keep Indy players informed of upcoming gaming days. Nevertheless, we have some data that might be of interest. Volume 30 Issue 2 of ISD drew 616 unique readers. Since this statistic tracks individual readers, and since the Fight in the Skies Society currently has 82 members, it is clear that at least 87% of our readers come from outside the Dawn Patrol community.  Back in the day! Scott at the game board, Dec 19, 2002. Volume 30, Number 3
Special Guests Coming to Indy for RBF XXIX The Indy Squadron is delighted to learn that former Red Baron Fight champion Scott Campbell will make his eighth appearance in the squadron's annual spring classic when he returns for RBF XXIX next month. He will be joined by, Brad Campbell (no relation), a local player from Wichita, who will also be a guest for the weekend of April 20th. Scott's last appearance in Red Baron Fight was on April 17, 2004 (RBF XV). Six years prior, he won a hard-fought victory over Alice Skinner in RBF IX (see story below) to earn his only Silver Goblet.
