S3 Series

Important rules to note:

1. Operation Areas - There are two designated target areas, the Naval Operations Area and the USAAF Operations Area, only one of which can be attacked during a frame. Before each frame the Allies must announce which area they will conduct operations against. Only surface targets in that designated area may be attacked during the frame but flight operations and squad basing can take place outside that area. Heavy bombers may only attack targets inside the USAAF area. This applies to the Japanese as well. Each area must be attacked at least twice in the series.

2. Fuel - all aircraft must take at least 75% internal fuel with or without drop tanks. Fuel mod is set for 0.75

3. Pilots shotdown - After each frame any pilot that is listed as a confirmed kill in the frame summary must fly a different aircraft from the one they were shot down in for next frame. Variants of each type count as a different aircraft(ie J2M2 and J2M3). It is up to each individual pilot to be aware of and to follow this rule.

4. Allied CV Task Force - the Allied CV task force will have two groups of CVs with escorting DDs and supply FRs. Their speed will be 30 mph to facilitate take off. Before each frame their route will be posted by the CM so pilots will know which group to launch from and when the CVs are going to turn. Only USN aircraft may use the CVs for launching. USN aircraft that land at allied airfields may replane from there. USAAF aircraft that land CVs are done for the night.

5. Japanese Operations - Japanese aircraft may only attack US shipping. This is indicated by the Carrier Task Force circle in the designated area assigned by the Allied Commander for that frame. The Japanese commander may assign one Kamikaze mission during the frame. Any pilots that are done for the night and cannot fly again may have their lives reset by the CM prior to taking part as Kamikazes. The Japanese Commander must gather his pilots and must tell the CM when his Kamikaze mission is a go. Once the Kamikaze mission is launched no more pilots may take part. Pilots must only fly the G4M1 as a Kamikaze. All deaths as a Kamikaze will be removed from the log by Phenix.

6. Victory Points - points are awarded for e/a losses, enemy pilot KIAs and POWs as well as destruction of surface targets. Japanese points will be higher in aircraft\ship kills while Allied points will have ground damage to outweigh this. Still working on points summary but should be up by Monday Jan 4.
