Melee Over the Mausoleum

I have added another scenario to the Downloads page, this one dealing with an event that took place on this date, eighty-eight years ago, during the Sino-Japanese War. The scenario (entitled Melee Over the Mausoleum) is a scaled down version of the historical event, and features such interesting Japanese aircraft as the A5M fighter (later known to the Allies as Claude) and D1A dive bomber (Susie), facing off against Chinese piloted and U. S. supplied Model 68 Hawk IIIs and Boeing Model 281s (the export version of the P-26 Peashooter). The historical event also had several E8N floatplanes (Dave) and a pair of CR.32s, but as I cannot source the floatplanes from my favorite retailers (Flight Deck Decals or Table Top Flights) I have not included them in the scenario. I may, in the future, utilize some proxy floatplanes, like Petes, that will perform double duty.

Because of the slowness of the pre-World War II aircraft, I have changed the speed bands to make a more playable scenario. To that end, here are the ratings:
