Where are the ships located this series? Just the two lines on the map? Point wise the ships are a very high value target. |

Fall of France resulted in the Brits trying to evacuate their forces across the channel...hence the high value points. Doesn't look like we'll make the coast in this series so don't think we'll see boats:) Have a story of having dinner with Battle of Britain flyers while in the UK. Sitting at the table were quite a few characters and their wives and all would share stories but one guy. I asked him if he had anything to share, and his wife told me " he doesn't like to talk much". He looked down at the table, and then looked back up and said "well, My wife here was told I was dead twice in the same day!" The story went like this: He was in a Hurricane defending the ships during the evacuation. He got hit by a 109 and ended up bailing out over the beach. His squadron saw his plane go down, but didn't see the chute. They reported him KIA. He landed on the beach and a soldier on a motorbike with sidecar pulled up..told him to hop in, and took him to to the officer who was loading ships. The officer took his name, told him to go get on the destroyer, and then got busy directing loading. Well he said he looked at the line at the Destroyer, and figured it would be several hours before he could get on, and he looked over at a civilian vessel which had no line...and walked over to the civilian vessel and got on. The destroyer ended up getting hit and sunk by the Luftwaffe, and the list was given to HQ who then relayed to the poor lady that "her husband survived getting shot down, but was on a ship that got sunk." 4 hours later he walked in the front door.... Can't imagine that..... |

110Cs would be a much better choice...bombs and cannon. And speed to live! |

But none has 110s left except you guys and the 23rd, but you all have 109E4s now. |

I didn't realize it was one and done, thought it was available until lost. I understand now. |
