The game was a scenario called "Intercept the Nachtjaeger" which is from the Check Your 6! scenario book, Breaking the Luftwaffe. A group of Do-217 German nightfighters were activated to intercept an 8th AF bombing mission. The Dorniers were themselves intercepted by escorting P-38s well before contact with the bombers.
The US fighters first pass was unsuccessful in getting any hits. The Do-217s decided to put the throttle to the wall and head toward the west board edge. Bf-109s who were escorting the nightfighters swung into action after the Americans.
One P-38 takes a hit on its airframe but it continues the attack. The Americans press their attack but can't manuever for good shot. The Bf-109s are causing some confusion among the US planes which allow the nightfighters to move closer to the board edge.
The P-38s get by the escorting Bf-109s and get some hits on the Do-217s. The Dorniers prove to be well built and shrug off the hits.
Finally, the Americans shoot one of the nightfighters down. The other Do-217s manage to escape. The German escorts decide they had had enough and break off. The Germans pulled out a close victory in an exciting fur ball over the Third Reich.
