S3 Series

Ok guys here we go and I will add more latter with pretty pictures and all tomorrow.

BASES HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED. PLEASE REVIEW AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE OK WITH THEM.

WE SHOULD ALL BE THERE AROUND T+25 AND HOPE WE CAN PULL THIS OFF.

Here is what I am thinking and I think it might be risky.

Group 1: Knights
--- Bomber Base: F181
--- Fighter Base: F229
Group 2: JG51, JG77 and TK
--- JG51 Base:F229
--- JG77/TK Base: F184
Group 3: Haze and 211nd
--- Base: F234
Group 4: 352nd kill em dead squad
--- Base: F-7 and 2 steps at F-221

First Sortie:

-- Target: F4 Large base
Group 1 (Knights)
Group 4 come in from the South
Group 2 from the North
Group 3 West

Second Sortie:

-- F145 and the tanks east
Group 2
-- F295 and ships east
Group 3

As always, I am flexible depending what is happening during the evening. I want to be able to close F4 and take away yet another big base and the rest is gravy. I want to put up a wall of fighters during the first wave to allow the bombers to get in and get the job done. If anything else is left, then we can send in the fighters.

As always, I look to you all for any suggestions and look to see if there are any holes in my plan.

Ni!

I just did some time hacks for 352nd. You said you wanted us coming up from the south...this looks like the best plan of action for us.
1 step at F-7 and 2 steps at F-221. We can be at Target F-4 at T+25....with 30K+ and plenty of gas burn.

Outstanding Epic! Let's use that time hack as the time to get Target.

Thanks!

Jabo quoted as saying: "294 is not closed because Ju88s bombed it to help its closure. This is not a target for twin-engine a/c".

Jabo which fields are single engine targets then?? Thank you <S> -Epic-

COASTAL DEFENCES, HEAVY(RDF)

Too funny Epic, I have been reading those all day. I am having problems assigning airfields and hope to have that done tonight. The reason why we dropped on 294 was we had just closed 32 and need to get rid of the extra bombs and run fast from the Allies.

F-184 2 steps////F-182 2 steps////F-263 1 step in the Northeastern Sector....
182 and 263 are very close to the front lines tho....

[F-229(3.4.6.6) 2 steps] and [F-234(3.3.8.3) 1 step] respectively..

These are located about 100 miles from the front...I did a time hack also from these two fields....with drop tanks 109's
can be on target F-4 30K+ in 21-25 mins with a good amount of fuel to burn......if they keep their tanks to target.

Just some extra options for ya..

Thank you Epic. I appreciate the help.

Is it possible to place both the Knight fighter and strike at 229 and move Jg51 to 181?

As it is now you have Knight fighters AND Jg51 at 229.

Just a thought since Jg77, TK and Jg51 will be flying together.

229 is a small 2 step field. According to the base rules twin engine aircraft must roll from a med/3 step field which 181 is the only one in the the area. Hope this helps....?
