US bases will turn red fairly quickly in Frame 4.
Landing strips 32, 33, 34 and 36 in the North will be captured quickly in that order.
Landing strip 42 and beachead 48 in the far east will be captured soon after the start.

The rest of the indicated landing forces will fall later in the frame. Locations along the path of ground advance will fall as well.

You have airstarts at F26 in the far north and F25 in the far east. If you look on the planning map and toggle on the radar range layer you will see its possible to get almost all the way to Manila before pop on radar and the US is allowed to scramble. Your targets should be static shipping, parked aircraft and hangars. So airfields F1, F9, F12, F27 have hangars and parked aircraft and should be primary targets as in history. F3 and F54 ports are primary ship locations. All these are good targets for G4M1s out of either 25 or 26 flying as high as they can. Recce once you update the Luzon terrain. Right now its just a placeholder.

Both carrier groups will be in the indicated area but will not be going straight N-S they will have a slight off path so that the enemy B17s will have a tougher time bombing them from altitude. Expect to see B17s at your beachheads once they become active. With no dedicated strike guys except Coolon they should not be acting as a combined force but in dribs and drabs. B17F alone is tough enough as it is.

Remember G4M1s and Ki43s can only operate from airbases not carriers. There are enough carriers at both locations to base all your forces there at start.

Good Luck and the Emperor is watching you.

If you open it up in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC you will see on the left icons for thumbnails, attachments and layers.
In Chrome you have to click on the readar icon at the top right of the browser to open it in acrobat reader. Otherwise Chrome wont show the layers.
In IE you right click on the map and select navigation menu properties for the icons to pop up on the left.
Not sure about Edge and other browsers.

DOD Series 106
Frame 4 AXIS OPS

Place: Luzon, Philippines
Date: 10 Dec 2017

Use Tac Channel 10

Fighters launch at T+15
Groups Pilots AC SORTIE 1
LF6 8 A6M2 w/tanks Support 8th and Nomads exit E to Carrier Force
4TH 12 A6M2 w/tanks Support DRs exit to W Carrier Force

Groups Pilots AC SORTIE 2
LF6 8 A6M2 w/tanks AS NEEDED
4TH 12 A6M2 w/tanks AS NEEDED
8TH 3 A6M2 w/tanks AS NEEDED

Bombers launch at T+0
Start from F26 climbing as high as possible.
Tests were done 9 Dec and produced excellent results, if bombers make
one pass and exit any direction without loitering. The test showed interceptors
have an extremely hard time intercepting bomber streams due to height
and speed. Ensure before descending enemy AC are not in the area.
Bombers can land at any land based field that is RED. Ensure field does
not have CONs waiting to jump low & slow landing AC.

Legend for Fields 1, 9, 12 and 27
Diamonds buildings
Black Icons are Bombers (largest) and fighters (smallest)
All guns emplacements are shown by numerical representation

Fields F27 and F9 are the smaller fields with less equipment on them. They should
Be the easiest to close.

Group commanders will take charge of their respective bomber groups and follow
inbound legs F26, 0.5, F1, F27 splitting up slightly to hit F9 (smaller section) & F12
(larger section) to hit these fields appropriately and egressing as desired, quickly.
Group Pilots Sortie 1 Sortie 2
8TH 3 G4M1
NOMADS 2 G4M1 G4M1
DRs 6 G4M1 G4M1

Omega- Frame C.O.

All COs submit your emails to me and I will send attack map and all field layouts pronto: Capt12pm@sbcglobal.net
