Bob Dominates 2019 Indy Title Game
Germans Prevail in Route 

For just the second time in Indy Squadron history, both Red Baron Fight and the Armistice Day Fits Tournament were held on the same day. On Saturday, November 16th, 2019, seven players gathered at the Danger Room (833 E 53rd St, Anderson IN) to hold both events. Red Baron Fight XXX began around 11:30 am (story below), followed by Indy's 31st annual championship tourney. Rick Lacy designed a well balanced scenario that stacked up like this: 

Allies
Kevin Richeson, Camel 110 
Stephen Dale Skinner, Sopwith Dolphin (no Lewis)
Ethan Skinner, SPAD XIII
Stephen Skinner, Morane Saulnier AI 

Germans
Bob Meister, Pfalz DXII
Rick Lacy, SSW DIII 
Bruce Yoder, Fokker DVI 

On paper the Allies should have had a slight edge in a reasonably balanced game. In reality, things started badly for the Allies and only got worse.

2019 Armistice Day Tourney, Red Baron Fight XXX Set for This Weekend 

It's been a long time coming, but the Dawn Patrol season opens this weekend with two of the Indy Squadron's three premier events. The 30th edition of Indy's Red Baron Fight was postponed from its usual spring time slot. Despite repeated attempts at rescheduling, the decision was finally made to push the event into autumn. That means defending champion Rick Lacy got to wear his crown for another few months, but the Silver Goblet is up for grabs this weekend to a new winner.

​It also means that both RBF and Armistice Day games will be held on the same day for the first time since 1994, and for only the second time in the squadron's thirty-year history. Records are not precise, but it appears that both RBF V and the 1994 Indy Squadron championship were held on November 12, 1994 according to Indy Squadron Dispatch articles from the period.
