| Post subject: | KHN Frame 3 Summary |
http://www.squadselectseries.com - new summary up - Map remains basically unchanged B24s did better this time around. The new units are getting used to the long distances in the Japan Islands. Escorted in to hit the industrial city of Kagoshima they met J2M anti-bomber interceptors that took down 15 Liberators over Southern Kyushu. At least 10 Franks and Jacks were shotdown by the escorting P47Ds and F4U1Ds as they tried to protect the strung out B24 formations. About the same time the Liberators were progressing back to base harried by the Japanese. Lower B25s came in to hit the shipping at the ports in the southern bay. Many anchored ships were sunk by the twin-engine bombers and their escorting Corsairs. Five B25s and four navy fighters were lost for claims of five IJ aircraft. Later in the frame with at least half the Japanese defensive force shotdown or crashed landed the second wave of B24Js and lower B25s meet only limited opposition and managed to heavily damage Miyakonojo, an important industrial base in the area as well hit shipping at the ports again. Still ten heavy bombers and five mediums were claimed for the loss of only three Japanese fighters. One of them a vintage Ki43 Oscar. With two cities covered in black smoke and 28 anchored ships sent to the bottom it was a good day of destruction for the USAAF. With the industrial destruction and a huge number of anchored ships sunk the Allies won their first frame. The series is now very close going into Frame 4. Allies 339 and Japanese 333. In Frame 4 the first B24J and P51D units move to Okinawa for use by players. Good Luck in Frame 4. Notes: 1. Two possible penalty planes for Frame 4 for field warping. xucrut and vulche may have landed a closed field and warped to another one. Please correct me if I am wrong. |
