Post subject:  S3 #131 RITA - Frame 2 Results
A bit late getting this up. Giving no 23rd FG participation in Frame 1, and high green team numbers that frame, I moved the 23rd to the Gold Team.

Green team (Allied Frame 1 and 2) - 6 pilots
352nd - juice=, =wilz=, redsgt, noflyz, vokker, crhtwo
No Squad - okdoc-
26 individual sorties: 20 in F4F-4 and 5 in SBD-5

Gold Team (Axis Frame 1 and 2) - 10 pilots, only 9 flew
4thFG - jedijc, pcalex. WLDBIL remained in the tower.
RCAF - muzz--, yukone, deak-
23rd FG - grmpy-, -splt-, slpsht
Grim Reapers - hasbro (aka Damp Sock) flew as a guest of the 4th
33 individual sorties: 24 in Bf109F-4, 8 in Fw190A-2, 1 in Ju88A-4

NB: jedijc and -deak- were the authorized 190 pilots (20% of 10 players) for Gold Team. During the frame pcalex also flew one sortie in the 190. I was not aware of this. He crashed without scoring any kills or assists. In frames 3 and 4 Green Team is asked to limit use of 190 to 20% of players (i.e. 1-8 players, 1 may fly the 190 for the frame, 9 or more players, 2 may fly the 190).

As per frame 1, frame 2 saw a lot of air-to-air action. Two Green pilots managed to fight their SBDs into Port 167. Five ground structures were damaged, but none destroyed. Once free of their bombs, the SBDs proved to be highly maneuverable and made extremely difficult targets, especially when supported by the F4F-4s. In a running battle, Axis fighters followed the Allied strike group back to the USS Ranger. A reconnaissance Ju 88 was guided to the area and was able to report the location of the Ranger to LW HQ before it was shot down. Late in the frame an attack was made against Port 198, but as stated in the rules this was not a valid target.

Gold team CO to advise CM desired position/course for CV Gp.

Side assignments for non-affiliated pilots are subject to change, depending on player turnout. Will try to get sides evened out a bit, but low numbers makes this challenging.
