S3 Series

Options:

1. Fly in one large group of fighters and defend Malta. They may come with a large formation of bombers on radar but I doubt it. Of course, the DR are slow learners so if Darryl is Frame CO they might repeat the mistake.

2. We could all fly bombers and go solo NOE to strike widespread targets all over the map just for fun.

3. A blend of the above although this is a recipe for extreme frustration and disaster.

Questions and Comments welcome since we have some time.

You posted 3 options, but only 1 is viable

2 is viable. No reason we cant all fly bombers and go NOE all over Sicily and Pantelleria. BUt that would just be for fun.

1 is our only real chance at winning the points game but I think the Allies will make it much harder to FIND their bombers this time.

I am open for other ideas.

My vote is for 1

2 is viable, but only for fun. We don't get alot of points for NME targets, except for Bombers and Shipping, with a nice little bonus on their fighters.

Number 1 is what we want.

These are the Axis big points:

LAF(F221) Closed - 1 time only 50.00
MAF(F225) Closed - 1 time only 40.00
Port(F222,F227) Closed - 1 time only 30.00
GAF(F218) Closed - 1 time only 20.00
Refinery(F226) Closed - 1 time only 15.00
Seaplane Base(F229) Closed - 1 time only 14.00
Supply Depot(F230) Closed - 1 time only 12.00

Damage is not repaired between frames, so some of these may be close to being closed. We need to watch for these.

We got Mossies for that?

No Mossies, here is our aircraft choices:

RCAF 127 Wing(401/416/417) Spitfire VC, Wellington, Swordfish
475th FG Spitfire VC, Wellington, Swordfish
American Eagles + 8th FG Spitfire VC, Wellington, Swordfish
The Knights That Say Ni / 69th Spitfire VC, Wellington, Swordfish

If you use the Swordfish, you might not be able to reach a far target and get home in 180 minutes (since we need to wait till we can launch)

Beaver, though the rules stated that any strike can leave at T + 0.

Swede-

True for you Swede

You can have the Swordfish then, 1 torp.
