A great game Robin.
ReplyDeleteThe B17 certainly has more firepower than I was expecting, but the C damage from the FW were rather nasty as well. I think the German players need to think carefully on the tactics used to engage the B17. But with some combined tactics I think a lone B17 will be in trouble.

DeleteI agree. Coordinated attacks, especially from the flanks, ought to be lethal.
A great game, but I think I still really fancy the 'swirling dogfights' of fighters at 20000 feet.

Next time perhaps the Mustangs will take to the air in force then. I look forward to it!
