Scenario: D01 Operation Avonmouth.
Version: v0.1.
Playtester: Scott Spencer(solo).
Report: Gladiators set up in R6, R7(Vet), and R8. Hurricanes
were 2 squares above the lead Blenheim, with the Blenheim
fighter beneath them. No successful spotting on Turn 1 which
led to everything clustered together in Turn 2. Game was over
by turn 4. Hurricanes split and both broke after their first
fight. Blenheim Mk.IF downed two Gladiators! Gladiators downed
one Blenheim bomber from the lead squadron and disrupted it.
Victory: British - Nine VP for exiting bombers plus two VP for
fighter kills = Eleven. Swedish: Two VP for a bomber kill.
Final Score +9 British Victory. Felt like: British Victory.
Recommendations: Fun, fast scenario. Even though it was barely
a British victory, my initial feeling is the VP range needs
tweaked a bit in the Swedes favor. They have to roll awfully
well to do damage, especially against the Blenheims.

As the designer, I'd suggest adding an experte to the Swedes.
They had some experienced pilots that were volunteers in the
Winter War in addition to having adopted Finnish air combat
tactics. That's why the Swedes don't have rigid tactics but the
Brits do.
Unusual set of conditions when you think of it, with the
defenders having inferior aircraft but better tactics.

Scenario: D01 Operation Avonmouth.
Version: v02.
Playtester: Scott Spencer(solo).
Report: Lacking a Swedish Experte counter, I used Hiroyoshi
Nishizawa and pretended he was a swarthy Turko-Finn volunteer in
the Swedish air force. He was placed with the Veteran Flight.
The British escorts were two squares above the bombers with the
Hurricanes in the lead. The Swedes managed to break both
escorts, downing two hurricanes and a Blenheim fighter for the
loss of one Gladiator. All 3 flights attacked the bombers but
only scored one kill for one loss before all broke. The one
bomber loss did result in a Disruption.
Victory: British Nine VP for bomber exit plus two kills = 11.
Swedes Two VP for Hurricanes, 1.5VP for Blenheim fighter and two
VP for one bomber = 5.5. final score 5.5 = Draw. Felt like A
draw.
Recommendations: None. The Experte helps just enough I think.

Can you do another play so we have three sets of VP to average
from?

Sure thing. The lack of a Swedish Experte counter made me think
- there is no Finnish Experte in the countermix. If there are
ever more Wing Leader counters made a Finnish Experte should be
thrown in the mix.

Scenario: D01 Operation Avonmouth.
Version: v02.
Playtester: Scott Spencer(solo).
Report: Hurricanes played it aggressively and broke from the
bombers to attack. Poor Swedish spotting hurt them. Swedish
Experte flight got a fighter and a bomber.
Victory: British - Twelve VP for bombers exited plus Three VP
for fighter kills = Fifteen. Swedes - Four VP for Fighters and
Two VP for a bomber = Six. 15-6 = 9 British victory. Felt like
narrow British victory.
Recommendations: None. I think the scenario is pretty tight.

Let's tot up the results:
British exits: 9 + 9 + 12 = mean 10.0 VPs
Swedish Losses: 2 + 2 + 3 = mean 2.3 VPs
British Losses: 2 + 5.5 + 6 = mean 4.5 VPs
This tempts me to move the draw window up by 1, but basically
the scores are in a good place.
