Some of you may have noticed an upsurge in Russian I-16 sorties last night.
This was due to the fact that for our "Squad Night", The 47 Ronin were,
rather than running a formal squad mission, playing "Pingo".
"Pingo" is a variation on the game "Bingo" and the object is to fill every
block on a card by achieving kills of specific plane types and knocking
out various structures at a field or base.
For last night, pilots were able to fly -only- I-16s while playing.
We had a lot of fun with it, though due to a small turnout, it took way
longer than I'd initially thought it would.
Here's the "Pingo" card:
Our "Red Flight" were the winners and thus have "Braggin' Rites"
(intentional use of the word "Rites".
over "Black Flight" and as such, may lord it over Black Flight until such time
as a new competition between flights happens.
In any event, it's a fun variation on the usual gameplay in the LWA and invariably
generates a lot of laughter and banter over the course of play.
