This series will loosely represent the first five mission of 8th Bomber Command, and more specifically the missions of the 97thBG in mid-August 1942. Terrain - Channel 1944 Radar Range– 40 miles for both Allied/Axis, min altitude 250 ft Allied objective over the series is to destroy five target areas. Only one target area may be attacked in a single frame. Other than striking Rouen in frame one, the targets may be hit in any order in subsequent frames. Bomber Targets: 1. Rouen (Rail Yd 143) 2. Abbeville Airfield (SAF111) 3. Oil Storage 91 (standing in for a rail target that is off the map) 4. Dunkirk Port (Port 61 – standing in for Rotterdam, which is off the map – only 60% of eligible obj need be destroyed) 5. Amiens (Rail Yd 121) Flight Restrictions Axis may not fly beyond 20 miles of the French/Belgian coastline, even if in “hot pursuit”, and may not overfly the UK. See inflight map. No flight ops by either side west of the 4,X line. Fuel limits – min 50% for the buffs, 100% for fighters Plane Sets. Pilots must remain in the same aircraft type for an entire frame. After some internal debate, three lives for each pilot. If you lose a life, you must re-up from the airfield you last took off from. No teleporting, even in death. Allied: B-17F (sub for B-17E). Tentatively two, possibly three AI wingman (if numbers are low) with the bomber login available (min 25% of Allied to fly B-17, TBC pending numbers). Intent is to have ~ equal numbers of fighters on both sides, but still give Allied enough buffs to have a chance at closing the targets. Spitfire IXa (really a IXb, but never mind) Axis: Bf 109F-4. ~30% of Axis pilots must fly the F-4 FW 190A-4 (sub for the A-3). ~70% of Axis pilots must fly the A-4 Aircraft Basing: B-17Fs at Biggin Hill LAF-10 (not historic, just a point in space) 10K air start. B-17Fs may land away from Biggin Hill, but “lose a life” if they do so, so RTB to F10. Spit IXs, anywhere in UK except LAF-10. 190/109s any airfield on the continent. Side assignments: Allied: DRs, 13 VRAF, RCAF, 4th, 23rd (13 pilots) Axis: JG51, 352nd (7) Any traditional Axis Squads/pilots may join Axis side. Unaffiliated, lone wolves to join Allied side Arena will be open for practice. Schedule! 7 Nov – Frame 1 14 Nov – Frame 2 21 Nov - Frame 3 28 Nov – Off for US Thanksgiving 5 Dec – Frame 4 12 Dec - Frame 5 As always, rules subject to amendment/clarification by the janitors. ------------------- edited to correct dates for the final two frames. |
