September, 1916. In the third month of the seemingly never-ending hell of the Somme battlefield there's a change in the skies as the British fighter squadrons that had succeeded in eliminating the 'Fokker Scourge' come up against the newly-formed German Jastas. While aces are present (though many won't live to see the end of the year) the sky is getting crowded and the battle in the air is turning into a clash of the many instead of one between individuals.
The game will be set in the skies over Bapaume with both sides vying for control of the airspace so that the vital work of reconnaissance can be done. Depending on the turnout, each player will command between two and four aircraft. An AAR of sorts involving some of the combatants can be viewed at http://brawlfactory.net/2020/12/02/23-november-16/ to get an idea of how the game looks/plays.
