Nightstalkers: Field M107. Tactical strikes on northern Axis shipping and take out radar near C29 on first sortie to provide advantage for our defenders. Please advise frame CO of current status and positions to aid in pulling-the-trigger on secondary northern bomber targets.

Bombers (Nomads & Dolittle's Raiders): Field L1. Ingress on “Blue Mission” primary targets L92, L93, L91. RTB after these primary targets unless cleared by frame CO to secondary targets 87 & 74. We will not exercise the secondary targets if the Nightstalkers are in the area. Please provide time hacks and if possible DTF. [please plan T/O and route to drop as late as possible and still meet last ground attack / RTB rules]

4th FG: Field M25.
First sortie – time permitting (pending time hacks from bombers), launch and patrol front in 4,4 (possibly extending to 4,5 box) looking for attackers. Do not over-commit and lose assets, as your primary duties this frame are in second sortie.
Second sortie - Escort Bomber Group to primary target and back. [Consider a flight of high P47's, if you believe you can manage the fuel – Herr Bluzoo and Herr Besea operated last frame with their 109s with impunity above our escorts.] If bombers are safely egressing towards home, you will be released to search and destroy (Ju52 @ 3 pts each, inflight AC @ 1 pt each, or parked AC @ 2pts each if you can do it w/o flack suicide).

352nd FG: Field L27.
Defense of Antwerp/shipping, T34/T36, T42/T43. Recommend one step at each of these 3 areas (near 3,5x, 4,5x and 4,4x) and one in reserve centrally located. Recommend mixed high cover and low eyes. Early on you will have the 4th and 23rd in assistance. After you successfully wipe-out enemy, please perform bomber reception escort.

23rd FG: Fields Tac31 & Tac 32 (alternates 37 & 42 as needed)
Launch with DTs and cover area near 4,4x. Recommend mixed high cover and low eyes. Once convince 4,4x not in immediate danger and high cover in place, you are assigned to penetrate enemy space with route to the following objectives:
1 – (Primary) breakup and destroy enemy groups forming near M65/M52/L54 in preparation for strikes
2 – (Primary) destroy enemy Ju52s
3 – (Secondary) your presence should disrupt/scare away enemy fighter forming in central/eastern germany for attacks on bombers (enemy in prior frames have used L92 as a fighter base)

Plan looks good, sir. Will have time-hack a.s.a.p. Will delay as long as possible our ingress.

Darryl please get us a RVP and time sir

Working on that for you, sir. Looking forward to flying with you and the 4th, again.

With approximately one hour left until engine start, we will do the best we can in regard to "reception escort" as we are unable to test for fuel quantities required for a flight of unknown duration.

Understood dewolf. Do the best you can w/o time hacks.

I will update you on bomber location, timing, and if taking secondary path or not.

Fly the route in reverse until you need to turn back for fuel.

Wilco. Please advise if the BG turns right at Albuquerque.
