Last night we started a new campaign of Night Witches and it was AWESOME! One of the six players couldn’t make it but we soldiered on and ended having a great day and night scene.
During the day some of the ladies found their planes had been sabotaged (parts were stolen) and they instantly blamed some of the men from the 218th. One of them has a cousin in that regiment and was able to convince him to help get them back, though grudgingly.
The parts were returned to one of the Night Witches eventually, some great interpersonal drama ensued, and soon enough night fell.
The night’s training mission went horribly: 4 of the 6 planes were damaged, 2 of which had to make emergency landings (including a crash into the river). It was a thrilling climax to the first session and I cannot wait for the next one.
Below are our Nachthexen in the flesh, from left to right. Owl, Hawk, Pigeon, Hawk, and Sparrow. (Raven will be appearing next session.
Oops, forgot to ping Anna Kreider on this one.
Those airwomen look like serious business.
Oh I also forgot to note that the opening session questions in the book are simply top notch. Everyone had a great time with them (me especially) and many of them took pictures of the questions to answer for their characters between sessions.
So awesome!
Good luck. Hope you will survive the war.
