S3 Series

<S> Ladies,
This frame has one objective, to bomb the living crap out of the enemy, to that end the following are the orders of the day:

Since are fields are spread out some of you will be based farther back then I would like for quick strikes, so that being said I would like for all squads to
place 75% of their pilots in the G4m Betties, the rest in either the Val or the Zero heavy.
The targets for this frame will be the fields on Guadalcanal and attached ports inflicting as much damage as possible on the allied fields with the hope that we can
close them thereby handicapping them for future frames.........

Now that you have picked yourselves up off the floor and stopped calling me names here is the rest of the story:

TK's and JG 77 will be reassigned to fly with the 100th sentai from 45 heavy zekes, your mission is to destroy field 33, suggest you go in as high as possible, dropping down with two or three ship flights,
and destroy as many targets or close this field as you can. Leaving some high to protect those going in low after you reach the objective. Alternating till all ordanance has been expended, then rtb to either 45 (unless capped or under attack) or 38 / 40 fields. Reup as you can to help escort the Knights into their targets, and or hit the port at 47.

23rd Fighter Group: F 28, Launch between T+0 or T+10 and execute a feint towards the 53 area, stay high, Im sure you already know this, imitating a buff strike on the Russell Islands, this should draw some or all of the opposition to you, Make every attempt to not engage unless you feel you have the advantage on your enemy. If the enemy is drawn to you move some to the 4.5 grid and request help.
You may also detach a couple for recon for shipping in the 6.0.5, 5.15. and 6.19 grid area. Be alert for changes to orders on the fly.

JG51- Base your squad at both F16 and F 24, move out to protect the soft targets around 25, 29, 22 , 18 and 19 area. This might involve splitting your group into different sections to accomplish, and stay alert for requests to assist others as needed.

Knghts- from 38 in either Zekes, Betties or Vals, plan on attacking as you can the port facilities at 55 and 56 from altitude. Be careful to avoid discovery by the Coast watchers and be observant for shipping in the channel. May suggest you hit from the North side one pass and rtb for further damage to shipping. Again stay at the max altitude you can, help will be in the vicinity if you get in a jam.

127 Wing- Zekes, Vals or Betties, from 21, you will be charged with attacking the shipping in the south when it is discovered. IF not found, attack targets 52/53. and 54 area,

NOTES; To all attacking shipping, be wary of the high mast amidships of all freighters and boats, it did take out a couple last frame.

We will not attempt to sink or attack enemy CVs till later in the frame, as we will also not be covering our CV groups as they appear to be out of position at the beginning of the frame to be a cause for worry.

We will get more points for destroying parked aircraft, dock spans, and other land targets then shooting down enemy aircraft. CVs are worth 6 points a piece, but, 8 parked aircraft account for the same, and we might survive a bit longer.

Ports and fields have numerous structures worth the same (.75 per) and are easier to hit with the bombsight.

Ok let the flames begin, and remember that all plans usually go out the door right before the start of play.

Good luck ladies,

Swede- S/L 416 Sentai, 127 wing

I have the door locked, should last 30 minutes

Please clarify Swede, do you mean all squads put 75% in G4M or just strike squads. Our orders call for us to protect the soft targets around 25, 29, 22, 18 and 19. That might be a bit of a stretch with 2 1/2 Zeros.

Nevermind.

<S>

Change the Val to Kates, ot sure what I was thinking.
Unless of course you prefer the Val ..
Swede-

23rd copies

Copy Swede and thanks for stepping up.

Actually it is a Swede lead frame with multiple suggestions from Muzzsan and Beaversan.

It was my suggestion for the quick strike on 33 since we are closer to it than the enemy and they no aircraft that can fly from there

Yes Beaversan and Muzz -san did contribute to the discussion, and credit must be given where credit is due.
But if it all goes in the crapper, will also be very happy to share the blame.
