Another rather one-sided action has been fought solo in my campaign. This involved an allied bombing raid on a Rhodes airfield which had been intercepted by a handful of fighters. Models are 1/600 Tumbling Dice and BTH rules used. Full AAR on my blog https://grymauch.blogspot.com

Probably posted on the wrong board to be fair, but looks like a good game all the same Ferg |

Serendipity indeed. Funny how a "BUG" posting can lead you to a site that is quite fascinating and inspiring. As one who never throws dice, but instead collects 28mm Napoleonic figures to paint and stick in the attic, this makes a real change. Something I would never have seen. |

Have to reply again. Again, I am a Napoleonic buff, but I know a Type III Hunt Class Destroyer Escort when I see one. That is brilliant. I scratch built one years ago, HMS Eggesford, a gift for a chap who served on her in the Med, but that was 1/350 scale…easy! Could a Hurricane fly from Cyprus to Rhodes with any hope of coming back……even with drop tanks? |

Thanks for your comments guys. Don't know how it ended up on the Nap message board. Looks like I may have had a senior moment! Not sure about the Hurricane. The IIC reportedly had a range of 600 miles so probably ok but only just. TBH I just took the original scenario and did not give it that much thought. Pleased you like the blog deadhead. |

Looking at it again it looks like it was a bug. I only posted it on the Aviation board! |
