Saturday the local HMGS-South group played a game of Check Your Six at the Dogs of War shop. The 1/300 scale planes involved were:
3 B26
2 P38
4 P47
2 FW190
4 Me109
2 Me110
The bombers were to cross the table and bomb some military installations in France prior to D Day. None made it. Two 110s were lost. Two 109s and a 190 were damaged.

Me109s and 110s
The 110s felt a bit out of place in this fight.

The target
P47s
The 109s slip right to get at the bombers and the P47 turn in to cover.
The 109s take out one bomber in their pass. 2 P47s split off to chase them.
An ace in a FW190 takes down another bomber.
The remaining 110 takes out the last bomber before being destroyed itself.
