Another team duel set-up. Next week will try a Channel Dash scenario.

FRAME START 2030HRS EDT, SUNDAY 27 OCT 2024

Changes, if any, in RED Text

Duel 2 - Spitfire Mk I
Duel 3 - Bf 110C-4

Min fuel 100 percent.
Ordnance loadout at player discretion.

Tentatively
TEAM RED: 352nd, okdoc, lone wolves. DISCORD Axis S3 Channel
TEAM GREEN: 4th FG, 23FG, RCAF, Grim Reapers. DISCORD Allied S3 Channel
Other Squads/players are more than welcome to join prior to each duel start.

Objective is to destroy all enemy aircraft or drive them out of the battle box.
At T+0 flight will be enabled.
Aircraft launch and form up at 10,000 ft outside the Battle Box; RED to the west and GREEN to the east.
When both sides declare they are ready, CM will issue "FIGHT'S ON" command in BLUE TEXT.
All pilots MUST enter the battle box immediately.
After entering the Battle Box, but not before, aircraft are free to climb/descend as they see fit.
Flight will be disabled to prevent additional aircraft from launching and joining the fight after "FIGHT'S ON" is declared.
Enemy aircraft may be attacked using guns, rockets or bombs.
Any player who exits the Battle Box for any reason after duel start is considered lost and must RTB and wait for the next duel.
When only one team has aircraft left flying in the battle box, they will be declared the duel winner. Declaration will be made by the CM in BLUE TEXT.
Once all players are back in the tower, CM will enable flight to prepare for next duel. Sides may need to be re-balanced between duels.

Event will finish after the three duels are completed.

A faux pas, fields on the west side of the map below should be RED, not green
