Nomads Horand Field 80 B24
United Mud Movers No 7 Field 79 B24

Overall Plan


Sortie 1
352FG and Nightstalkers will take off at FRAME TIME ZERO (FT+0) and proceed direct to Gasmata F46 and strike Gasmata/Thelinius Harbor (F46 and 45)
475FG and RCAF will take off at Frame Time Eight (FT+8) and proceed direct to Gasmata F46 and strike Gasmata/Thelinius Harbor (F46 and 45)
Simpson HARBOR STRIKE (KNIGHTS/69TH/NOMADS/UMM) will takeoff FRAME TIME 45 (FT+45). They will form on a 085 heading and proceed direct to Kiriwina (F72). Over Kiriwina they will turn 020 degrees and proceed to Simpson Harbor to strike shipping and ground targets.
Bombers must report position regularly so that 475FG and 352FG can rendezvous after supporting GASMATA raid
Sortie 2 and Beyond
There will be no second sortie for Heavy Bombers.
352FG will recover to Woodward (F99) and takeoff NO LATER THAN Frame Time 75 (FT+75) with 75% fuel and 1 drop tank. They will climb on a 330 degree heading until joining the bomber route northeast of Kiriwina. They will fly along the bomber route to the target and CAP the target area until bombers arrive. 352FG will then escort bombers until clear of enemy threat.
475FG will recover to Kiriwina (F72) and takeoff NO LATER THAN Frame Time 75 (FT+75) with 75% fuel and 1 drop tank. They will climb on a 020 degree heading along the bomber route northeast of Kiriwina. They will fly along the bomber route to the target and CAP the target area until bombers arrive. 475FG will then escort bombers until clear of enemy threat.


NIghtstalkers and RCAF will RTB to original bases and may strike Gasmata area to close F45 and F46 or may flight along the bomber route until with bombers and join the Simpson Harbor raid



NOTES:
475FG and 352FG will assign at least ONE PILOT each in a second line aircraft to rendezvous with heavy bombers and provide additional escort. P40 is suggested.

Questions and Comments are welcome

UNIT SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

KNIGHTS/69th
B24J 60% fuel based at Horand F80. Takeoff at 45 minutes after frame start and fly the flight plan below to strike Rabaul (F1) and Simpson Harbor shipping. Knights will provide close escort in aircraft of their choice.

NOMADS
Orders identical to 69th

UMM Orders identical to 69th except you are based at Number 7 (F79)

NIGHTSTALKERS
Aircraft of choice to strike Gasmata area (F46 and F45) F46 is primary. Takeoff from Vivigani (F96) at Frame Time Zero (FT+0) and climb to 16,000 then level high speed to Gasmata. You should see 352 merging from the left near the target and 475FG and RCAF from the right. RTB to Vivigani and fly second strike per your discretion.

RCAF
Aircraft of choice to strike Gasmata area (F46 and F45) F46 is primary. Takeoff from Kiriwina (F72) at Frame Time Zero (FT+4) and climb to 16,000 then level high speed to Gasmata. You should see 352 and NS merging from the left near the target. RTB to Kiriwina and fly second strike per your discretion.

352FG

Second Line Aircraft

Hold at least one second line aircraft at Buna until FT+45 to fly escort with bombers and report bomber position.

All others

P38G or SLA as required. P38G 2 X 1000 and 100 % fuel. Takeoff at Frame Time Zero (FT+0) and climb at speed 170 to 25,000 then level direct to F46 Gasmata. Strike Gasmata unless threatened by superior enemy force. After bombs released (for any reason) provide high cover over Gasmata until all strikes are egressing then proceed at 25,000 feet to Woodlark (F99). Replane at Wood lark with 75% and 1 drop tank. Take off NO LATER THAN Frame Time 75 (FT+75) and climb 330 degrees until joining the bomber route northeast of Kiriwina. Fly along the bomber route to the target and CAP the target area until bombers arrive. 352FG will then escort bombers until clear of enemy threat.

475FG

Second Line Aircraft

Hold at least one second line aircraft at Kiriwina until FT+60 to fly escort with bombers and report bomber position.

All others

P38G or SLA as required. P38G 2 X 1000 and 100 % fuel. Takeoff at Frame Time Four (FT+4) and climb at speed 170 to 25,000 then level direct to F46 Gasmata. Strike Gasmata unless threatened by superior enemy force. After bombs released (for any reason) provide high cover over Gasmata until all strikes are egressing then proceed at 25,000 feet to Kiriwina (F72). Replane at Kiriwina with 75% and 1 drop tank. Take off NO LATER THAN Frame Time 75 (FT+75) and climb 020 degrees joining the bomber route northeast of Kiriwina. Fly along the bomber route to the target and CAP the target area until bombers arrive. 352FG will then escort bombers until clear of enemy threat.

RCAF acknowledges orders. <S>

F72 seems kinda short. I wanted to test the takeoff, but the arena said I am at the limit of one death.

--
352nd orders received.

If upon further examination find anomalies will report.

9/26-Request: 352nd has only 2 in SLA. Want SLA for T+45 Bomber location reporter to base at F72 (with rest of 352nd) instead of stated F82 for possibilities of server dump and proximity to target for fuel savings during flight in.
This keeps spirit of order and accommodates for any eventualities without rebase or time loss in unknown events.

Juice

Swede tested F72 and we are fine.

All of 352FG is based at Buna F82 at frame start.

475FG is based at Kiriwina F72 with RCAF due to the 4 step limit on a large field.

That is why takeoff for the 352nd is FT+0 and 475FG is FT+8, to account for the extra 30 miles the 352nd has to cover to Gasmata.

NS copies.


RCAF.......same as last week, on your TS?


Both 46 & 45 have the same numbers of ground guns, 1-40, 1-20, 1-88, and 2-50s. Lets make sure we know where they are so we can deal with them quickly.


Dawger...sorry but I have not been following the boards very closely. I thought there was to be no gps this series. Is there any chance this will still happen?

I see no gps in there now. I am fine with that if it stays. Always better for the offense.

So the Knights will be taking off at T+45? Ok, we might be short a couple of bombers but will comply with the take off time.

Same as always, our TS and we should join fairly close to the target, or you will be right behind us.
