Bases
The 6,6 X is not on enemy radar.
Target Area
Note the close proximity of Axis Radar Coverage and the Rally Point.
Axis Radar
If your aircraft is in SE England or most anywhere over water, just assume you are on enemy radar coverage.
The Allies had good luck in Frame 3 with a slightly delayed arrival over enemy territory. Please note the Rally Point time. Escort fighters taking off at T=0 and likely the bombers can make this time rather easily. Fighters are encouraged to take off at T=0, achieve the RP, and even venture onto enemy radar while orbiting in fuel-conserving mode. Alternately, any of the "alternate" bases may be utilized for refueling following a preliminary hop. Hopefully this RP time will accommodate any initial glitches in buff software at the beginning of the Frame.
BUFFERS are encouraged to publish a Time Over Target. This would allow the Stalkers force to plan a strike just after things start to heat up in the middle part of the map.
Escorts are certainly encouraged to splash the bad guys, but protection of the buffs to and from their primary V-1 site targets is critical. Maintain buff protection at all times. Help will be available on the way out.
Good luck and good hunting, all!
