We held back the Americans long enough to cover our retreat to New Georgia.
More importantly we struck a decisive blow to the enemy by sinking the USS Enterprise!
Now must hold the line. We will need both low cover and high cover at New Georgia airfields.
There is rumor that the Americans have acquired an Aircraft Carrier on loan from the British. Keep your eyes open
for this Carrier and send it to the bottom of the sea.
We have just learned that Admiral Yamamoto will be inspecting the troops on Bougainville Island.
The course is outlined on the map provided. The Admiral’s flight will be landing at Ballale Airfield at T+60.
This is a great honor.
Important Information for Yamamoto flight:
We need a squad to volunteer for the Yamamoto flight. If no one steps up, the 4th will make the flight.
There will be:
2 GM4 Bettys
6 A6M-3 Zeros for escort
Before launch 1 Betty pilot must claim to Nookyb that his aircraft is carrying the Admiral.
You can tell me in the forum, through email. or in the buffer before launch.
Keep this information Top Secret as we do not want the allies knowing which Betty is carrying the Admiral.
Flight launch from Buka Airfield F2 at T+30
Load out: take Torpedo.
Once in the air and clear of islands, drop your torpedo and direct your ai to land at Buka F2.
(Bring up map and right click F2..should send ai to land) There will be no ai this mission.
Follow flight path on map.
Bettys climb to 4,000ft
Escorts climb to 5,500ft
You should time your arrival at F24 Ballale Airfield at T+60. Yamamoto prided himself on his promptness!
IMPORTANT TO ALL AXIS
To be historical, the allies have been given Yamamoto’s flight path and time of arrival.
Allies will be following the historic flight path (green)
AXIS IS NOT ALLOWED TO ENGAGE ALLIED FIGHTERS ON GREEN PATH until they engage Yamamoto’s flight.
Once the allies attack, we are free to engage.
We do not know their planned route for RTB but axis is free to engage as they RTB.
This is a bonus mission for 20 points. If Yamamoto lands safely at F24, axis gets points. If Allies shoot down the Admiral, they get points.
Good Luck Gents!
