S3 Series

I do not anticipate any significant changes for the Allies in this frame. I think they are weary with this series.

Basing will be the same as in previous frames, RCAF / 8 at 180. 352nd at 183. Lf6 at 167.

Keep a close coastal patrol in the areas outlined below. Once contact is made with the bombers and their escorts, I want ALL assets to converge...HOWEVER...First squad in will stay high...keeping the Allied fighters busy at altitude. Then when the next squad comes in (at altitude), a group will focus on the bombers and the last group to enter the area will assist with clearing the remaining Allied fighters. The idea is to strip all the fighters PRIOR to the bombers go feet dry.

I will ask for 2 volunteers from each of the three groups to patrol our shipping lanes in the west. This Western Group will work together as a six man CAP over the boats for those pesky Night Stalkers. You know they're coming.

I will have GCI until the first melee is over, then I will roll and support the fight. I will ask for GCI help from anyone wanting to watch dots post mortem.

Good Fortunes, Good Hunting and Good Sake upon our return.

EDIT - RCAF / 8th and 352nd will swap their patrol zones with 352 further west, RCAF / 8 in the center. I cannot edit the map before T+0

We will have your Japanese Jet all set up for you,
Swede has sent out our orders to the group

This might work for you, let us know. RCAF + 6th are fielding about 7 planes each frame, might be a tad less due to Mamorial Day in the states, Move the 352nd to our area of coverage and LF6 to theirs, we can racetrack between 180 &183 to free up a pair of 352nd?

Beaver-san - Yes, I agree and will authorize the zone change.

352 - please take the 2.6-3.5 area and have the RCAF / 8th to your east. Lf6 will keep the same patrol zone with RCAF / 8th to their immediate west.

To reiterate, I want to maintain altitude with initial contact and only drop down on the bombers when support arrives on scene. Like a cork-screw.

Change of Patrol Area Relayed to the Group.

We're Axis, of course we're getting screwed!
