Four of us tried the Lacquered Coffins set of rules for a German raid across the White Cliffs of Dover. Apart from Wings of War none of us had tried this type of game before and I have to say we're hooked! The rules are not overly complicated but gave us a good game and they felt right. We'll be giving them another go soon.
The game itself had twelve He 111s with protection from eight Bf 109s heading for a raid which were intercepted by nine mk1 Spitfires and nine mk1 Hurricanes, with the objective of the Germans to get as many bombers across the board as possible and the British to Shoot down as many as possible.
We all flew like novice pilots at the start of the game getting the odd pot shot as the two sides flew through each other but by the end of turn two we were all getting the hang of the rules and starting to maneuver a lot better getting some good shots in. Six bombers made it across the board making it technically a draw but as the majority of them were damaged I think that tipped it more in favour of the British.
