S3 Series

Last frame of the season! Go big or stay at home. Or wherever; you get the point.

The Dungeon Master has eluded to hitting targets in England to boost our points. I am looking for input to decide whether we want to close out the season defending our inland targets or head out over the water and destroy things on the ground.

We have been on the short end of the stick for personnel, and since the Allies have been getting two lives for bravely flying with their AI's "nut-to-butt", they have extended that number advantage. If we go ground pounding, we too could get more lives.

I do believe the Dungeon Master has a point saying that we have the opportunity to make up the points deficit hitting ground targets.

Timely input is appreciated.

A few experience jabo pilots in FW190F8s could basically plink all the best targets in the final frame.

352nd does have experienced jabos.
I will inquire as to their intentions.

The 352nd did quite a number with Jabo attacks during the March on London series. I was hoping they would be up for it again.

We are only allowed 3 designated ground targets, so we will need to select targets with maximum point potential.

Am doing best to see if can give you a number to work with.
Current events have troubled communications (my main communicator (my right arm) is gone)

Tonight (thursday) I probably will be able to get a feel of things.
As for me personally, I will be Killing Buffs and escorts as I need the therapy.

I will communicate soon.

So???? Aren't we supposed to get a communique revealing the Allies' intended target area as being in the North or in the South?

Our spy network is breaking down!

Review mission objectives K, L, and O (shipping at 22, radar emitters at 22, and hangars at 31). We are only allowed to designate 3 objectives, and a quick review makes those appear to provide good points.

Destroying items not listed in the Mission List will provide a sense of accomplishment, but no points for Axis. So, focus on designated targets.

I made up recon images of the targets, but the "board attachment quota" has been reached so I cannot add the files. (Hey DrDart, can this be addressed?)

352nd info.

Mr Tmoa, the 352nd is desires to kill buffs. There may be a single member to jabo but the consensus for last frame and end of season is to destroy the hoards.

Thanks for patience

Unfortunately the rules do not specify a timeline for the Allies' announcement of their intended operations area.

"The Allied Frame CO must announce which operations area, North or South(indicated on the map) they will conduct spec op missions for the upcoming frame."

I would like to think that frame CO respect for the S3's might dictate a declaration of operational area in a timely fashion, but alas no such thing exists most frames this series it appears. Heck the rules seem to allow them to declare this just before the frame begins if they so desire. Regardless, this definitely ties the hands of our CO's.
In a way this may be a good thing as maybe they figure we are only defending once again. (trying to find the silver lining in this cloud)

I will, of course, respect the desire of any individual(s) in the S3's. Not only is this the last frame of the season, but this immediately follows upsetting news. If the 352nd want to kill airborne targets, I will not stand in the way.

Until our intelligence community provides us with the intended target area of the Allies, planning a field to fly out of will not be easy. Although, it should not be difficult to takeoff from any airfield and be able to defend any area due to the time it will take them to cross the channel.

If we get very late intel, or none at all, be prepared to choose your field at T-30 minutes.
