The Lucranian War
The campaign is set in an imaginary world, where a diesel-era evil empire invades the democratic nation of Lucrania.
During this war, Devin Drake leads a squadron of brave aviators fighting against the might of the Empire.
Previously
The Dragons were marginally victorious in their last campaign, but suffered heavy casualties in the last two missions. They pulled out for some rest, but are now back in action.
I actually started a second campaign but it fizzled out. I'm considering that mission a one-off and am now starting a new campaign.
Mission: Intercept!
At the Dragons' airbase, the warning klaxons blare. Incoming air raid!
Only 2 Dragons, the commander Devin Drake and young Dewey Hobbes manage to get in the air.
Drake (green 1) flies a standard Goshawk fighter while Hobbes (green 2) pilots an obsolete Chick fighter. They face 2 Cobra fighters, an old Adder, and 3 Vulture medium bombers.
Using the heavy cloud cover, our heroes get a jump on the bombers. Hobbes damages one.
They score 1 hit out of 4
The Lucranians are lucky the damage is not worse, but this goes down as a defeat for the Dragons.
Sadly, Hobbes did not survive the crash.
GAME NOTES
- Campaign Score - 0-1
- I determined the sides randomly. I think it was weighted a little heavily against the defenders. I will think about tweaking the randomizer.
- I use fictional planes for my fictional universe. There are 3 classes - obsolete, average, and advanced. I gave names for each class per nation.
- Lucrania - Chick (obsolete), Goshawk, and Peregrine (advanced)
- Empire - Adder, Cobra, and Viper fighters. Condor (light), Vulture (medium), and Buzzard (heavy) bombers.
