| The Gruesome Twosome |
The next Check Your 6! project being sent off to Miscellaneous Miniatures is for a single scenario, but with possible expansion....

| A beautifully printed B-24 by Flight Deck Decals |
Within Battles Above 1 is a scenario that features the Tuskegee Airmen of the 332nd Fighter Group - Protecting Them All. This small scenario will make another good introductory game as it has but one B-24, three P-51s, and two Macchi C.205s. The B-24 was a straggler, returning damaged after a bombing mission, and it was being stalked by the Macchis of the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana. Seeing the bomber about to be attacked, a flight of P-51s came to its rescue (the scenario only gives three Mustangs, but the historical record I have come across indicates four Mustangs were involved). As the game master I would take control of the B-24 and allow each new player to focus on one fighter. The planes I have gathered for the scenario are all from Flight Deck Decals.

| This beautiful print is going to look great as a Red Tail |
I've recently begun a bit of a fandom for the ANR, and will have the Macchis painted in the German inspired scheme shown below. This is a dramatic break from the standard Italian sand, brown, and green swirls seen on Macchi aircraft up to 1943.
I am adding to the collection of books on the ANR, and am hoping that one title winging its way to me will have enough details to do more scenarios using details from that book, that focuses mostly on the three ANR fighter groups. More on that once it arrives!
