S&T #159 Zeppelin! Q&A Q: The accompany article shows several airship bases in Belgium, but none appear on the map. Is this an oversight? A: No. The Belgian bases were used in 1914-1915 before the Entente possessed aeroplanes that could reach the bases and do much damage. By the time the game begins in 1916, this was no longer the case and the airships were withdrawn to safer bases further east Q: Should a Zeppelin check for Mission Abort if wind changes direction suddenly, especially if wind force is already at level 2? (9.1) A: Wind sheer actually affected aeroplanes far more than the floating gas bags, but you could make a case for this. Do it if it feels right! Q: In the Early 1916 scenario, no aeroplane can hit a Zeppelin at night? Is this correct? (15.1) A: Yes. New aircraft coming into service later in the year radically changed the situation.
