S3 Series

Gents,

Let's get this one over with. I will not be available tonight and have asked Luftflotte 6 for a stand in, but if any of you are willing to take the reigns let us know.

Here is the plan

Knights- Bombers LAF44. Fighters TAC 58. A/C your choice.
Sortie1: T+0 Launch and follow flight plan from Frame IV and hit ships north of Antwerp. You will in range of enemy dar over target so make your strike quick. Have your fighters in close escort. Recommend a N/NE egress. Luftflotte 6 will be north of you off dar for emergency assist and egress cover.

Sortie 2: If you have the resources, wait for confirmed ingress of allied bombers and their fighter cover. I would like you to hit TAC 42 main field. If you have bombs left you can either hit the parked AI east of 41, or try to take out the cranes at Antwerp (CTY 28).





Luftflotte 6- TAC45(2 steps), TAC 41(2 steps). A/C your choice.
Sortie 1: T+0 Launch and patrol off enemy radar N of Antwerp. You will be emergency assistance for the Knights and cover their egress. We are trying to sell our forces lying in wait deep in Germany, that is why I am not sending you directly in. You will be in radar range well after takeoff and well before landing. Advise staying NOE until well inside 3,6 grid.

Sortie 2: Sit tight until enemy buffs confirmed on ingress and clear of operating area. Launch and destroy any flying AI and targets of opportunity. Assist with other Axis operations as necessary.

If time allows prepare for a quick refuel and mass attack on egressing allied buffs.




RCAF 127- TAC49A/C your choice.
Sortie 1: T+0 Launch and destroy parked A/C at TAC 34/36 and other targets of opportunity. If you can hit the bridges, great, but do not spend too much time on them. Record the strike in case they do not blow up as expected. You will be in enemy radar range the entire time so be careful around your fields.

Sortie 2: Wait until enemy buffs confirmed on ingress and clear of operating area. Continue AI raiding ops, I would like you to hit the parked A/C east of TAC 42 and strafe that hangar down to assist in closure. If the Knights are unable to hit TAC 42, consider that your primary target. Luftflotte 6 will be in the area to assist.

If time allows prepare for a quick refuel and mass attack on egressing allied buffs.




Haze/211/AE/JG 27- LAF92. A/C your choice.
Sortie 1: Launch time at your discretion. I would like you to patrol our flying AI routes to limit any extra point snatching attempts by the allies. It is a lot of ground to cover but it is kind of damned if we do, damned if we don't. If nothing shows by T+60, please start heading west to aid in the AI destruction effort. LAF54 is the tentative rebasing, but we may be able to shuffle units around for a closer base.

If time allows prepare for a quick refuel and mass attack on egressing allied buffs.




More suggestions welcome.

Where can my Knight fighters lift from? TAC 41 maybe?

Just read the line "limited by steps and type", well that's a big pile of dumb.

Hawk, can your bombers lift from a small field? If so I will move Lf 6 to 44, your bombers to 58, and fighters at 41.

Will update by 315pm PST

Also everyone, look for Jugggo and Sakai as Frame CO tonight.

I am not sure. Never tried it and will have to read the rules first to see if it's possible.

It'll work rules wise, the performance might be a concern, but you have take-off power at hand. Just let me know.

Simplicity sake, I'm going to keep the Knight bombers at 44, Knight fighters will be at TAC58.

RCAF I'm going to put both your steps at TAC 49.

Lf 6 the 2 steps at TAC 58 are moving down to TAC 45. Note that now all steps will have to take off NOE to the north to stay off Dar.

I'm on my phone so I can't change the pictures so note changes in red.

Good luck gents

Well I hope I didn't screw things up. We upped from 58 because I didn't see the last post in time.

Lf 6 re-routed so unless everyone in your squad upped from there we are good
