OPERATION "SANDWICH"
"Note that orders can be subject to change, if so I will make a post in this thread with a heads up of changes."

AWAITING THE FIRST GERMAN BOMB RAID
The enemy has always sent in Bf 109's early to harass our fighters and bring us low. We will let their scouting flies come into our web, and then swarm them with superior numbers. After we kill them, rearm and climb back to intercept the predicted Luftwaffe raids.

RCAF
Base: F34
Mission: Launch at T+0. Climb hard to max altitude and CAP at 7.6.9 with the Knights of Ni!. If the enemy sends scrappers you will be vectored south of the Bf 109's, wait there until the order to attack when all squads are in position to sandwich them. Otherwise be ready to intercept buffs as normal.

Knights of Ni!
Base: F35
Mission: Launch at T+0. Climb hard to max altitude and CAP at 7.6.9 with the RCAF!. If the enemy sends scrappers you will be vectored south of the Bf 109's, wait there until the order to attack when all squads are in position to sandwich them. Otherwise be ready to intercept buffs as normal.

American Eagles
Base: F33
Mission: Launch at T+0. Send a single wingpair to protect the radars at R65 and R78. You can rotate this wingpair during the night. The rest of the squad climb hard to max altitude and CAP at 8.7.7. If the enemy sends scrappers you will be vectored west of the Bf 109's, wait there until the order to attack when all squads are in position to sandwich them. Otherwise be ready to intercept buffs as normal.

4th FG
Base: F37
Mission: Launch at T+0. Climb hard to max altitude and CAP at 8.8.8. If the enemy sends scrappers you will be vectored north-east of the Bf 109's, wait there until the order to attack when all squads are in position to sandwich them.

AWAITING THE SECOND GERMAN BOMB RAID
Defend England as normal. We will call in a large Wellington raid at 16000 ft, from British bomber units, to hit German Airfields. We will also use our own B-25C crews mixed in as support with fighters to escort.

RCAF and AE's
Keep protecting England as normal. AE's also keep protecting southern radars with one wingpair (unless both are closed).

Knights of Ni!
Either keep protecting England as normal, or join the 4th FG with B-25C's in a daunting raid on German airfields F9 & F8, see 4th FG orders for details. You are free to choose what mission you prefer.

4th FG
Use a mix of B-25C's with 500 lb's and escort fighters. Use a minimum of 4 bombers (with 3 Ai's each). There will be an Ai Wellington raid that will hit F8.
* B-25C's: Climb to 16000 ft towards the 7.6x and then hdg-135 to the 8.5x. Try to stay with the Ai Wellingtons until the 8.5x. From there take a vector of hdg-053 towards F9. After dropping on F9 go direct to F8 and finish it if needed. Egress hdg-270 over the water until safe and then land in England. Switch to a fighter once landed and help defend as normal against the Luftwaffe.
* Escorts: Stay with the B-25C's and Ai Wellingtons that will be at 16k ft. Make sure you are higher than that. Use minimal throttle needed until in enemy territory. Fuel is precious. Once at 8.5x stay with the B-25C's. One wingpair can escort the Wellingtons if prefered. Follow the B-25C's to F9 and F8, then head direct to defend England once the B-25C's are safe.
* Enemy dar range is 20 miles so you shouldn't be spotted until after the 8.5.5.
