Rick Wins 4th RBF Crown

Terry Phillips played in five Red Baron Fights during his Dawn Patrol career, winning three of them. Graham Shepfer (two titles in five tries) and Michael Morgan (two wins in four events) have also posted record setting performances in the Indy Squadron's spring classic. But a new name must now be mentioned in any conversation of RBF's GOAT (Greatest of All Time). 

​With his fourth Silver Goblet in hand, Rick Lacy has firmly established himself among the greatest players in the history of the Red Baron Fight. His narrow, two-point win over Bruce Yoder and Stephen Dale was built on the Lacy philosophy of air fighting that has served him so well... consistent shooting, teamwork and focusing on the overall mission. 

The 29th edition of Indy's Red Baron Fight was held on the 100th anniversary of the death of Manfred von Richthofen, and featured special guests from Kansas (Scott Campbell and Brad Campbell) and Illinois (Bruce Yoder). With four aces in the sky, the sides stacked up like this:

Red Baron Fight XXIX This Weekend!

Red Baron Fight XXIX This Weekend! 

The 29th annual Red Baron Fight will be held this Saturday, April 21, on the precise 100th anniversary of the death of Germany's legendary ace, Manfred von Richthofen. Details are below: 

  • Saturday, April 21, 2018 
  • Hometown Comics & Games, 1506 N State St, Greenfield, IN 
  • Gaming begins at 12 noon 
  • One brief warm up game will be held prior to RBF 

Additional games on Friday night gaming were scheduled but we had one player who was called in to work and unable to make it, which leaves us one player short. If you are able to game on Friday night, please contact Rick Lacy or Scott Campbell for details. They would still like to get in a few Friday night games if possible prior to Saturday's big event. 

The choices available for RBF's award, the Silver Goblet, continue to change but we were able to find a beautiful tankard as this year's prize. As always, it is silver and engraved with the date and event. We think the Red Baron himself would be proud. He was, after all, an avid collector of silver cups to commemorate each aerial victory. 

Photos of the 2018 silver tankard are included here. There is only one 100th anniversary game for Red Baron Fight... make sure you're there to win it!
