WINTERCON 2005


A new Aerodrome Great Lakes record!  24 players in a single mission.  We used 18 wooden and 6 dry erase control panels.  We used two maps which doubled the playing surface and found that it worked out fine.

11 Allied aircraft start in formation. Their task is to inflict damage on an enemy troop convoy heading towards the front.

The allied formation has crashed in to the Central Powers defense.  The allies didn't fair well and were virtually annihilated.  This theme was continued for most of the day.

WINTERCON 2005


A dogfight mission winds down.  We see that only 10 of the starting 22 aircraft are still in the air.  This mission appears to be yet another overwhelming Central Powers victory.  We see Captain R. Siegle staring intently at the map, he was seeking his 5th aerial victory for the day.

Here we see Lt. Tarka demonstrate why going in to a spin on the 3rd increment of a turn, is a bad idea.  As we can see here, 5 allied aircraft turned on her stricken aircraft and she is in big trouble.  This is the 1st time I've witnessed a victim being boxed in on 5 of 6 hex sides within an increment of a spin.  Greedy allies!!

Trying to take a photo of  Lt. Tarka, we can observe that she was faster than the lens on my digital camera and got under the table prior to the photo capture.  It is a nice shot of of 3 chairs however.  Notice the finger pointing in the background, that was Lt. Fehrenbach pointing out Lt. Tarka's situation.

A tricky GM (me) took this photo of Lt. Tarka as she witnessed the 5 allied aircraft shred her aircraft.  Lt. Fehrenbach is on the left, Lt. E. Sabo on the right and Lt. Tarka's guardian in the back right portion of the photo.

Our highest ranked female pilot, Major Jenny Plett waves the Union Jack.  Jenny refused to leave the table for dinner rather than be late for the start of the next session.  A true Aerodrome pilot!
