| Post subject: | CTK Frame 5 Summary |
http://www.squadselectseries.com/events/CTK/CTKmap.pdf In the final frame the VVS continued the strategy of avoiding the massed fighter sweeps of the enemy. Early strikes by P39s and Il2s hit F11, F261, F298, F71, F234 and F125. Both 261 and 234 were soon closed and several shipping targets sunk in the sea of azov. The slow IL2s were determined to get to targets but the turnaround was long and 11 fell to the guns of the enemy, most to the vicious AAA found in the region. Mid frame the main Luftwaffe strike force of Ju88s heavily escorted by 109s took out the last medium field in the region destroying F190 and only losing two bombers in the process. Axis 109s continued to triumph over the inferior Russian fighters shooting down 23 for the loss of 13. Later in the frame the VVS returned to attacking wide-spread targets taking on 292 and 122, closing 122 in the process. Ju88s moving back into the northeast, guarded by a heavy screen of fighters attacked and damaged 74. The VVS was busy off Sevastopol sinking more shipping for a total of 12 AI ships during the night. The Axis found some shipping in the SE corner and sank two of them. VVS won their second frame in a row 74 to 58 but the initial Axis lead was too much giving the Axis the win - 359 to 291. Thanks for testing this new terrain and submitting bug reports. We learned a lot from this experience and version 1.03 should have some improvements and corrections. Its one of the few terrains that can have historical events frrom 1941 to 1944 so you should see it again next year. Salute |

Perhaps a panel of trainers from both sides of a series could help make recommendations as to plane match ups. Nothing more depressing to know that no matter how smart you are, or how good you are, your faced with a vastly inferior fighting platform. |

Great work on the terrain by the CM crew, it looked good and with the field distribution could work well in the Main Arena. |

I didn't really enjoy the "match up" of the fighter plane sets, but after spending an evening in the WWII arena flying against juice (and him being in one of "our planes"), I realized that being in an inferior plane doesn't mean automatic death, even if you have no ammo. It became apparent that we would not be able to "protect" much of anything, but in later frames when we focused on what we COULD do instead of tyring to do what we couldn't, things got a bit more interesting, and a lot more fun! The 4th spent 4 frames in the Yak, and the last frame in the P39q. We had pretty decent success in that P-39, and wound up engaged in a rather intense fighting retreat that ran for about 25 minutes as we had to travel about 1/2 of the map back to our base. A few of us got picked off by the constant bouncing of the 109's, but we also wound up claiming a few of the "bad guys" for ourselves! Like I said, I didn't particularly enjoy the fighter match ups, but on the other hand, I did experience a completely different kind of battle, and did have a blast (particularly in the last 2 frames) when we started focusing on things we could do with what we had. I love coconut cake, but that doesn't mean a macadamia nut cookie is bad! -S's to all. |

-dazed, 4th FG did well on that long running fight in frame 5. When your lead guys started climbing and coming back to help the tail end charlies our 109s were in trouble. We couldnt bounce the low tail end guys without worry and there was too many of you for us to keep your lead guys from climbing. You guys showed great teamwork in the face of very bad matchup (109s vs p39s) and managed to get most of your squad home. big <S> |
