S3 Series

ALLIES MISSION ORDERS.

Additional SERIES ALLIED RULES:


Series Mission. As you can see on the map, your goal is to take as much of the Solomon Islands from the Japanese as you can in the 5 frames.

!!!!You must take airfields in your next Mission objective zone FIRST as shown on map. For example Frame 1 you are based at Guadalcanal. Your next Mission Objective Zone is the Russell Islands.

You may NOT skip islands and close forward airfields in the next Zone. However, you may attack any ports and any coast watchers anywhere on the map which will give you points and shut down enemy DAR. While you many not close a forward airfield, you may hit any forward airfield’s DAR and ack. (you won’t get points for that, but it may help you strategically. (airfields will rebuild for next frame) Coastal watchers and ports in the conquered Frame zone will become yours next frame. Coastal watchers in your Zone, if closed by the enemy will remain closed for frame but will reopen next frame.

Once you have closed the airfields in your Frame Mission zone, you MAY then move to the next zone and attack to close those airfields anywhere in that next zone.

You DO NOT NEED TO CAPTURE with troops. A field that is closed will stay closed for that frame. You will not be able to use it until the next Frame.

****Ports do not need to be closed in order to move the front forward but are targets for additional points.**** RULE CHANGE!!!

CV’s will be available and will be in position to launch offensives. Your Navy pilots must launch from CV’s

The enemy has CV’s and shipping. When a CV is sunk, it is lost for the series. So it may be of interest to find and destroy CV’s and protect your own from attack.

Shipping. There will be supply shipping and there will be Crusiers and Destroyers on both sides…sometimes they will be engaged in battles with each other. You may attack and sink enemy ships for points. Sinking enemy Cruisers and Destroyers will also protect your own ships.

AS ALWAYS CHECK FOR THE NEXT FRAME MISSION ORDERS EACH WEEK. WE MAY DO SOME ADJUSTING AND WILL DEFINITELY BE ADDING SOME SIDE MISSIONS!


Frame 1

FEB, 1943
OPERATION CLEANSLATE

Gents the Marines and Army fought a tough battle to take Guadalcanal. We now have two airfields constructed. Command wants us to push the Japs out of the entire Solomon Islands. For now, we are ordered to hold Guadalcanal and protect it from attack as well as attack the Japanese airfields in the Russells just 30 miles to our NW. The Japanese are using the Russell Islands as a staging area to protect their retreat. However, this is not going to be easy. The Japs are dug in and tough as nails. They don't surrender. Expect the Jap Navy to be out there causing trouble as well. If you spot ‘em, orders are to sink ‘em.


Airfields:
Henderson Field F59
Carney Field F60

You also have a Naval Port with an small airstrip F58.
All Naval Ports with airstrips should be used for emergency landings and refueling, not for a base.


Good luck Gents.

Map updated. Some ports added and Filed 37 added.
