TO:Bombr, Coolone, Gums, Sakai, DarrylGentlemen would like immediate input as to Frame 3 action against Allied Forces.
Frame 2 was a shambles due to hardness of AIs and other problems. We of course we lost F6 and F18 with only F1 left now to launch from the British Island.
I was also thinking that having to launch from France if I were the Allies I would hit F1 first taking into consideration that the AXIS would only have limited capabilities about using it as a Major launching point. IT should be easy to overwhelm F1 very quickly due to the distance from French fields. The number of AXIS AC that could get up in time to meet incoming Allied Forces would mostly likely be limited and possibly overrun.
I am also wondering what the Allies have to do to win the Frame and Series, which could be done on this frame. I think we must defend F1 at all costs and use it as effectively as we can or loose this Frame and the Series now.
We definitely need to get input from all concerning OPS planning for this frame. It also seems for the most part the frames are just going to boil down to a slug fest for who comes out on top.
I would appreciate your thoughts on anything concerning Frame 3s activities by Wednesday morning so everybody can see them before a meeting I have planned for Wed evening on TS. If you would, please forward your input to
Capt12pm@sbcglobal.net as well as listing in AXIS forum. I will combine all comments, put them in ONE TOPIC, email them to each CO and then place them in the AXIS forum. This is not normally done but thought I would try it. In addition forward your email address so I may contact you individually if necessary. Even if you may have supplied it before, please do it again, just to make sure I've got it. Thanks! Please specify how many pilots/AC you will have.
Darryl how did you do in Frame 2. Were the AIs hardened like the Wellingtons. I dumped a third of a clip in each of three AIs with absolutely no effect whatsoever. Bombr dumped an entire clip in a Wellington at D2 and didn't even get an Oil Leak, no damage that he could notice. In addition to this, it seemed like we had Allies coming out of what were closed Fields? I am checking on this one!
Did the rest of you have similar problems.
I will set up a TS Channel in the 4th Group to discuss our possible actions in private. I would like all of us to meet Thursday evening at 19:30hrs CST to clarify our postings and to make final plans. Please let me know before hand if you can not attend. The password will be
Dumbell with a Cap D the rest lower case. I will make it available immediately for those who may want to discuss issues before Wednesday. I would like to have orders out by Thursday so if any changes are made, they can be dealt with quickly and as required.
If I missed something, please let me know ASAP.
