RBF Champ Crowned in Lowest Scoring Game Ever

(Click here for updated RBF records) A game laden with aces and outstanding pilots gave us one of the closest finishes in the history of Red Baron Fight, yet produced no kills and the lowest score in 35 years. The Germans appeared to have the upper hand at the start of the 5-player scenario:

Rick Lacy (UNT Laurence Reiter, 30/6), red Fokker DrI
Bob Meister (HPT Ralph Seid, 5/1), Albatros DVa
Ethan Skinner (Dolf Meinhart, 18/7), Albatros DVa

Dory Oda (Maxwell Sorgis, 5/3), Camel 130
Stephen Skinner (CPT Purvis Leiter, 52/32), Camel 130

Volume 36, Number 4-5

Indy Player 2nd in Milwaukee Cup

The 5th annual Milwaukee Cup Dawn Patrol Game was held at the AmericInn in Delafield, Wisconsin on Saturday evening, May 4th with 18 of the world's finest players competing for the championship.

The top honors went to Michael Wollan, who flew brilliantly. Ten-time Indy Squadron champ and 2002 Spring Mini Con winner Stephen Skinner finished a close second after shooting down Joe Kapustanczek's pilot with a critical wound. Still, Stephen lost by a six-point margin because he received six hit factors in his Macchi MV flying boat while fighting in the thickest part of the dogfight. Since taking enemy fire draws a penalty in Society scoring, those hits were the difference in the game.
