Post subject:  TIGERS OVER CHINA FRAME 3 MISSION OBJECTIVES
FRAME 3 - SKYWAY TO HELL

April 1942

To: Air Combat Group 飛行戦隊 ‘Hikō Sentai ‘ 15th Army,

Chinese supply convoys on the Burma Road have been greatly reduced.
Excellent work.
The enemy has had to resort to a desperate attempt to get supplies through.
They plan to fly supplies over the Himalayan mountains, into Kunming.
Intelligence is not sure, but suggests the supplies could then be flown from
Kunming to Chunking in China or Rangoon, or both.

If the high altitude and terrible weather doesn’t kill them, we will.
Stop these supply aircraft from reaching their destinations. Our ground forces
are counting on you. Do not fail them.


- Gen Shōjirō Iida, Commander 15th Army


FRAME 3 - SKYWAY TO HELL
April 1942
While the Burma Road is still open, it has been severely interrupted by IJAAF
Supply flights over ‘the Hump’ start in April 1942
Allies need to ferry supplies in C47’s and C-87 Liberator Express’s (converted B-24) over ‘The Hump’.


Allies Objectives:
Fly Supplies in from Dinjan to Kunming, then from Kunming to both Rangoon and Chunking as per orders.
Defend Supply Aircraft and supply trucks while destroying enemy fighters and bombers for points.

Axis objectives:
Do not allow B-24’s and C-47’s supply aircraft to get through.
Also destroy supply trucks on Burma Road and aircraft for points.


Scoring Frame 3:
• Allies fly all 24 successful supply missions: Allies earn 3 frame points, Axis 0 earn frame points
• Allies fly 17-23 successful supply missions: Allies earn 2 frame points, Axis earn 1 frame points
• Allies fly 9-16 successful supply missions: Allies earn 1 frame points, Axis earn 2 frame points
• Allies fly 0-8 successful supply missions: Allies earn 0 frame points, Axis earn 3 frame points


Supply Mission Rules for the C-47 and B-24D pilots
Regardless whether your supply mission succeeds or fails, supply pilots must always clearly inform the frame CO about the outcome of the mission. This so that he can keep the score.

* If available, B-24D pilots MUST choose the "C-87 Liberator Express" loadout option with cargo and no defensive guns. You are not allowed to select another loadout, or to drop the cargo during flight.
* If your B-24D starts shooting back at IJAAF planes, it means you have selected an incorrect loadout and must immediately ditch/crash to avoid cheating. It will count as a failed supply mission.
* If your supply plane gets shot down, it counts as a failed mission.
* If you crash into mountains or terrain, or even crash and die when landing, it counts as a failed mission.
* If you for any reason ditch at another location than the target airfield, either due to flying to low or to avoiding certain death by enemy fighters, it counts as a failed mission, but you might of course deny the enemy some kill points.
* Only landing at the target airfield will count as a succesful mission.
* Always clearly inform the frame CO about the outcome of your mission.
* Squad CO's please inform your pilots about the rules above.

Appreciate the orders and the time.

It is well done and easy to understand objectives and therefore we enjoyed attempting to achieve them.

It makes it so that a CO on our side is near superfluous (and since I have almost no time it helps a lot)

thanks
