The Baron is down!

[muppetman]

Hello think tank

I watched BlueMax today and it got me thinking..

I wanted to make a downed plane(Red Baron), make a small band of men
(pulp figs) to go and get the baron out, some brits to stop all this from going on.
I wanted it to be a small skirmish game with a pulp feel... now... rules..i'm thinking 45 adventures but if anyone has a better idea for rules for this sort of game lets hear it.. please..

For a small game, in figures, you can't go wrong with .45. Each individual figure can be customised to your hearts content.

What scale plane do i need :  :  :

1/48

[twrchtrwyth]

I think any scale from 1/48 to 1/64 is fine. Seems to be a much better choice in 1/48 though.

SMER make a Dr.I in 1/48th, if you can find one. I believe the Baron flew an Eindecker too. If you see a 1/48th one of those on your travels let me know, will you? I wouldn't mind one myself.

Roger that!

Without wanting to sound like a broken record, I'm a big fan of SMER. Don't seem to be too many about right now, but you can usually get the planes for £3.99, and their simple and robust design make them ideal for wargamers, though that probably makes proper modellers hate them.

Hm, how about Triumph and Tragedy? A nice game for that size of game. Though 45 adventures leave you more room to individualize your characters.
