So back in the day, I used to attend Historicon and I signed up for a game called Hostile Aircraft. It was when the rules first came out and the author was an interesting fellow, but cool. After that game experience I immediately signed up for later ones he was running. I was hooked.
I collected a bunch of aircraft, and then lost interest over the years. Family, work, etc. bla bla bla. Finally a few years back I got rid of them all.
Then I saw a few vids from Steel Fist, and bought some more bloody aircraft. That was a year ago and I really didn’t do anything with it. Then that dude from Steel Fist had to go and mention the Facebook group Algernon, and so I joined that and got hooked again after looking at all the cool aircraft.
This time I think it will be better. Algernon is much simpler (Hostile Aircraft actually gave my friend a migraine trying to figure out 3D combat) and a bit more laid back. So I think I will enjoy it.
So after digging out my books (thank god I kept those, never throw away your books!), and tried like hell to remember the colors I needed. Here are my first four Albatros D.II's, my hands aren't as steady, so the free hand almost drove me mad. Then I find out that the two packages of crosses I had, one sheet was fine, the second sheet was misprinted, same for the other package. I was not happy but I went and put on the crooked crosses anyways.
Now off to painting some DH2's, hopefully I can get in a game next month.
