WW2 Battle of Britain, with nearly 100 aircraft on the table. So onto the afternoon and the biggest Aviation game I have ever played.

The torpedoes impacted on the starboard of the merchantman causing it to be dead in the water and it was finally finished off by the other SM-79s as well as huge explosions coming from the HMS Warspite which had also been hit.ДЄ cracking game and as Skafloc was trying it out for the first time I think it ran pretty well.

The 110 let rip with some devestating cannon fire and I saw a small transport sink beneath the waves as I dropped my torpedoes.ДЄllied Swordfish, Martlets and a pair of Hurricanes were now in the skies trying desperately to defend the convoy but the Folgore dived on a lone Hurricane and sent it spiraling into the Med! The dangerous fish ran true and as I flew away I could see in the distance explosions and plumes of black smoke rising over the striken ship.ДЄfter rearming, once again I flew in low, dancing over the waves and lining up with another pondereous merchantman. Flak was covering the approaches but I managed to dodge the AA and loosed of my torpeodes before exiting the table to rearm.

After the success of the Ace of Aces game and a thoroughly enjoyable meal out on the Saturday night, I started of Sunday morning controllingВ an ItalianВ Regia Aeronautica SM-79 Torpedo Bomber in Operation Pedastal the return!ДЇor anyone not aware of this WW2 Operation, it was a major convoy including the SS Ohio Tanker on its way to resupply Malta.ДЄttacking the rear of the convoy along with a couple of other SM-79's and a lone Messerschmidt 100 flown by Andrezj whislt protected by a single Macchi Folgore, I flanked right and attempted to pick off single merchant ships.
