S3 Series

Northern Group
Jagdgeschwader 51 (2sv) @ F182
Jagdgeschwader 77 (1sv) @ F263
Tainan Kokutai (1sv) @ F263

Primary Mission
At T+0, roll and form one large fighter wing to pierce Soviet radar as an attack on Field F190. The plan is to appear as a strike and draw Soviet fighters to the North and away from the bomber strike in the south. Fight up, tie up and stay alive.

Additional Missions
Targets for the rest of the frame are highlighted in Yellow on the map below. These targets include the oil fields at F13, bridges at F145, F104, F163 and T34s at grid location 8.5.8.





Southern Group
Knights of Ni! Bombers (2sv) @ F294
Knights of Ni! Fighters (1sv) @ F193
Jg27/VFA211 (1sv) @ F193
Der Nebel (1sv) @ F11
352nd FG (2sv + 1sv) @ F221 and F7

Primary Mission
All Southern Group squads should go OTR at T+0 and hold until call to roll.

352nd will Roll a tactical Rotte at T+0 to dispatch the radar targets at F19. The remainder of the Souther Group will roll on 352nd's call for the targets at F25. Knight Fighters, 352nd, Jg27 and VFA 211 will be close and high escort for the bombers and Der Nebel will provide additional support along the flanks of the strike group.

Additional Missions
Targets for the rest of the frame are indicated in yellow on the map below. They include the three remaining bridges on the Kuban River at F92 (x2), F164 and F86. There are two more bridges at F19 and F142. The oil fields at F91 and the Port and Airfield at 76 and 2 are target considerations.




Defensive Considerations
In the North, Jg51/77/TK will work together to dispatch attacks in the north that occur AFTER the primary mission objective is achieved. Defensive measures can be taken in lieu of additional missions.

In the South - I suspect the Soviets will look to close F21 - our most forward field for bombers. Its a juicy target that I would hit if I was cursed to be over there. I also expect they will do the same as last frame and coordinate a mid-frame attack in our rear flanks. Measures can be taken to intercept and scuttle the attackers, but only after the primary mission objective has been fully completed (read: Closed).



Secondary Fields
Use the following fields as secondary/emergency fields.

North
Jg51 - F184
Jg77/TK - 229





South
Der Nebel - F261
Knight Fighters, Jg27, VFA211 - F207
Knight Bombers - F28 (Sorry - nothing closer to hold bombers)
352nd - F194 and F258

Sakai these fields are closed for air operations F-182 and F-263

If possible Hawk(fighters) Thor and Pipe....I would like the 328th FS of the 352nd FG to be based at F-193.
We could just swap fields...you take F-221 and we get F-193....is that Ok with you guys?

<S> -Epic-

LOL! I am having hell with these two fields.

I guess the map I downloaded at work was bunk, because those screen shots above were made today with, what I thought, was the correct map for Frame 4.

That said, I will move the Northern Groups to their secondary bases.

Thanks, Epic.

Epic,

I am ok with it so make it so....

<S>

Rgr that Hawk...

From F193 we can make trouble quickly on F-19. I would roll your bombers at T+0. Have your group online and ready to move east for escort rally. Sakai's orders state that 352nd(486-487 FS) 221, JG 27 and your embedded fighters will provide escort for your ingress to F-25. Der Haze will provide cover for 328 FS on their attack on radar F-19. This is good. Once the radar is destroyed. Haze can rally with your BG and escorts. You should have almost 25 escorts on your initial ingress. The 328th FS will check fuel situation at the time of F-19 dar destruction and either join the escorting of your BG or RTB for fuel and ammo. If they do rtb. They will ride like hell in order to rally with your group...if not on ingress defiantly on the Flip. You might want to have your escorts rally with the BG North of F-32. There are two factories just south of F-32 that throw up a lot of ack. If you rally to far south you'll be painted on radar at F-250.

What ya thinking Mr. Hawk? Or anyone one else for that matter as it has been very quite.


Trigr= The 328th will roll from F-193 at T+0. If you guys could to the same that would be great!
You guys are rolling from F-11. We might arrive at F-19 just a little ahead of your squad. If you guys could circle the area and prevent bad guys from interfering we would be most grateful.
