First off: apologizes for posting the orders on the main forum. WHAT A KLUTZ MOVE
Gentlemen below are the orders for Frame IV. As this series has shown, we need to be able to attack quickly and respond quickly. Communication I believe will be critical to our success. I’m still trying to figure out how to have TS and Vent up at the same time, but I will be on country channel and typing in Caps. I will attempt to do GCI for all.
If I were the LW I would attempt to close F77 and F78 early to restrict our operations for the rest of the frame. Or they may attempt to come up the center and close F12, F17 & F18. In either case I hope we will be in position hit them hard, with the 23rd ,RCAF to the north and 4th , AE and Haze in the south. Hopefully we can catch them in a pincer move.
I also believe that F14 is a bleeding wound that we need to close. After speaking with Darryl we have an early strike to close F14 and F15, and possibly continuing on to F80.
Second sortie will depend on what the LW has accomplished and what resources we have remaining. I would to see us take back some of the positions we lost last frame. Again we’ll have to wait and see what opportunities we have.
ORDERS FOR BOMBER COMMAND:
Dolittle Raiders
Plane: B25C or D, ordinance of your choice. Take enough fuel to be diverted or turn back due to enemy forces in near proximity. Stay NOE until clear of LW DAR then grab alt to 8-10K, rally point is 1.4 area with fighters. Keep escort fighters advised of you position and alt. Depending on numbers send 1-3 bombers NOE to staging point near 15. When DAR looks clear I will send the NOE bombers into the northern LW area, target choice is up to you.
Field: F77
Nomads (augmented by DR)
Plane: B25C or D, ordinance of your choice. Take enough fuel to be diverted or turn back due to enemy forces in near proximity.
Nomads (augmented by DR) basing at F92
Launch and fly NOE to your staging point near 2.0 and await orders to attack enemy posts and DAR, the choice is yours.
ORDERS FOR NORTHERN FIGHTER GROUP:
Northern Fighter Command: Comprised of: 23rd FG and RCAF.
23rd FG your basing will be F2 and F76.
RCAF your basing will be F12
Plane: Your choice as to what is left in your inventory.
23rd FG I need one heavy fighter for immediate attack on F49………hit the radar tent (silver one).Then get out west NOE and hopefully rejoin your group
You are to Rally at approximately 1.4 grabbing alt. Once assembled and DR say they are inbound to F14 & F15, RCAF will take point (locate and identify LW types) with 23rd FG slightly behind for a two pronged attack.
If the LW mass to the north I will divert the Dolittle Raiders until such time as they can ingress to their targets. 23rd FG and RCAF will harass the enemy and attempt to break up the LW. 23rd FG and RCAF set a hard deck and don’t get in a fight with the 352nd in the weeds. We need your aircraft for a second and third sortie. I will attempt to advise if additional LW are coming to your fight so you can exit the fight.
ORDERS FOR SOUTHERN FIGHTER GROUP:
Southern Fighter Command: Comprised of 4th FG, American Eagles and Haze
4th FG your basing will be F17 & F18
Haze and American Eagles, your basing will be F17 & F18
Plane: Your choice as to what is left in your inventory.
I need two or three heavy fighters to strike F47, F46 and F45. Then get out west NOE and hopefully rejoin your group. Also one heavy fighter to strike F62 (make best possible NOE approach.
You are to Rally at approximately 1.1.8, or 1.2.2 grabbing alt. Once assembled you will assist the Northern Fighter Group in repelling the LW, or if the LW come up the middle I will have Northern Fighter Group directed to assist you. You additionally may be sent SE to assist Nomads if needed. Stay loose and be prepared to move quickly to assist. Again, set a hard deck and don’t get in a fight in the weeds, unless you outnumber the LW.
Be on station quickly, with alt. I expect the LW to come to us quickly and for us to move quickly to engage or assist each of the Fighter Groups.
If we loose our initial fields the rules state we move to F10. Doesn't mean we can't refuel somewhere else and continue fighting then rebase at F10. Since F10 is a 4 step base it may get interesting.
All: be smart, take what the enemy gives you. Let’s have fun and fly at least two sorties, planning on three. This is my first shot at the big chair so be prepared for just about anything.
