Saturday Dave Schueler and I ran a playtest of our Enfilade scenario depicting the air attacks on the HMS Illustrious in January 1941. Ships by Daveshoe, planes by Ksmyth, rules by David Manley. link |

Excellent all around. What scale(s) are the ships and planes? |
| KSmyth | 09 Apr 2018 8:13 p.m. PST |
The planes are 1/300 scale, mostly Raiden. The ships are 1/700-I don't know the manufacturer. Thanks for taking a look. |

… but how illustrious can a Playtest get? |

I've run attacks on HMS Illustrious a dozen or so times. She was finally hit and sunk in the last game. Attackers: 12 Ju-87B, 5 SM-79 each with TWO torpedoes.
No escorts. Defenders: 4 Malta-based Spitfires (Illustrious was
making for Malta, having been part of a
convoy's escort). The carrier took 3 bomb hits and 4 torpedoes, but
remained afloat UNTIL a critical hit started raging
fires. The attackers lost 5 Ju-87's and 3 of the SM 79's. Scale – 1/300 Rules – Blue Sea, Blue Sky (Blue Sky Enterprise's Mediterranean air-to-air, air to
sea rules) |

It was a great game. Loved that re-roll rule. :) |

There are going to be two aerial dogfight games at Enfilade with Fairey Fulmars….? SMH. I had never even heard of a Fulmar until this year. I'd play the Illustrious game, but I'll be running a GQ 3 game in that time slot. Bummer. - Ix |

Fulmars are bad. Buses with guns. The re-roll rule is dead. I killed it. Maybe, sort of. |
