I like last frame’s results of being defensive the first sortie or so. Each squad will have an area to be nearby until the radar picture develops. Lets not let the Axis close and take back much ground. Unless they give up chasing points they will need to be closing lots of locations. Will they dare use lower level fighter bombers as well? I’ll be giving a radar picture and vectoring you as best possible.
Any group that wants to put up some bombers later in the frame, speak up !! The second half of the frame those that want to bomb will be asked to first hit F16 in bombers and/or heavy fighters, if desired. Other targets would be F74,F32 and F82. Don’t try to go in alone, they have kept a few high ones around the last 2 frames. F82 won’t go down easy, lots of targets and guns that are spread out somewhat. If the situation warrants it I’ll change the first target to F82 though and hit 16 later. F72 and F31 are closed
352nd - F86 Grab south of 4 line and stage there. Defend your airfield and nearby villages. They have no bombers at 16, but might use fighter/bombers and pop for 37/38.
AE - F83 Grab N/NW. Defend your airfield and nearby villages. Stick around the 4,4x / F66 if at altitude.
RCAF - F81 Grab N and/or SE. Defend your airfield and nearby villages. F72 and F31 are closed. Watch for bombers from F4. I’ll send help up if they launch in numbers from F4. NO airstart there.
23rd - F80 Grab N and be at altitude when near F37. You may be called upon to CAP the airstart at F6.
8th - F80 Combine with 23rd unless you want to fly with another group.
Flexibility everyone, be ready ; )
Keep in mind that: I’ll be in Tower until I can be relieved later in the frame, hopefully. Although we don’t know… but I’d bet they need lots of points to catch up. Closing/Capturing villages is their easiest points, with small airfields next. You can bet they will use the F6 airstart when possible. They only have bombers available at F6(airstart) and F4 (no airstart)
IF you want to fly a bomber after you die, you can switch to a bomber base and be good with the rules. IF you land and want to fly a bomber you MUST land at a bomber base. IF you die you can change to any field and another different airframe. If you land you must takeoff from there.
