This time, we wanted to keep things lighthearted. Our guest from France and his children were scheduled to visit our club, but unfortunately, the long journey from the south to the north led to some health issues, resulting in the cancellation of their visit. In preparation for this occasion, I had asked Tim to create a game that wasn’t too challenging, and Tripods and Triplanes turned out to be perfect. Since the visit was cancelled and player attendance at the club is limited during the summer, we decided to proceed with the planned game anyway.

2. The Game.
In our game, Tim piloted both Martian tripods. I defended Earth as Goering, while Jimmy played Richthofen, and Ben was Captain Ball. The winner of the game was the side that managed to eliminate the opposing vehicles.
Our planes moved swiftly against the enemy Martian units. Ben and I were heading straight toward the tripods, while Jimmy struggled a bit to steer his aircraft in the right direction. After our last game, Jimmy was determined to improve this time and erase the disappointment he felt from the previous game.
I opened fire first and immediately had some success by damaging the smoke thrower on one of the tripods. At the time, I didn't realise how important this would be. Ben quickly joined the fight, and together we began firing at both tripods. Ben attempted to use his rockets, but this time they were ineffective. Meanwhile, Jimmy slowly started to engage in the battle.
Seeing our planes split into two groups, Tim sent a weaker tripod against Jimmy and a stronger one against us. As he left, one of the tripods released a cloud of smoke, causing my pilot to fall into it. Goering was wounded from contact with the corrosive smoke.
The wound created some difficulties with manoeuvring and shooting, but my pilot was still in action. We managed to split the two tripods, and individually, they weren't as dangerous, especially since three planes were attacking a single tripod. We approached our attack slowly but surely, and eventually we succeeded in destroying one of them. That success was on Ben and me.
After destroying the first tripod, it was time to target another. Initially, I considered withdrawing my pilot from the operation, but my thirst for glory prevailed. I attacked the second tripod and successfully reduced its energy level. Unfortunately, my plane caught fire, but I managed to survive. However, the plane was hit again, resulting in Goering receiving a second wound. He lost consciousness, and the plane ultimately crashed.
My efforts, however, proved successful. Ben and Jimmy charged at the weakened tripod, and this time, Jimmy delivered the final blow, destroying the second enemy machine. The Earthlings triumphed, but Goering's serious wound cast a shadow over our victory, as we all know how that turned out...
