S3 Series

I think we can try a similar, but modified strategy as we used in Frame 1.

352nd - 124 & 125 - Hurri IIb - Heavy and attempt to close F46, F43, F47, Tank 45, Tank & Bridge 13, Base & Bridge 11 - that should keep you busy as I imagine you will want to attack where the enemy is not

23rd FG - 86 - Hurri Ia - patrol 83 to 90 area and be prepared to assist the 352nd and/or the Raiders

RCAF 127 Wing 117 - Hurri1a - patrol 139 to 83 and prepare to cover the Raiders

Doolittle Raiders - F132 - B25C, hit 42& Bridge, 80,48,115 - last frame you continued to pound the same area, this will switch you between two fronts and may prevent them from ganging up on you.

Just preliminary, any ideas or suggestions are welcome. We may see some of their high level bombers, Dorniers or Heinkels. If the Dornier takes Drop Tanks, it can fly for 160 mins with 10 50 KG bombs at 100% throttle. They could skirt our DAR strike in the south where there is no DAR.

You seem to have an ambitious plan for us.

I see F46 listed twice. Is that a typo and we have another field in our list? We will do out best to accomplish the task but may be in fighter mode early in order to thin the opposition a bit before we go into full ground attack mode.

It was supposed to be F43.

I don't imagine that you can close them all, and you might end up defending against their bombers at some point, I just wanted to make sure you didn't get bored with nothing to do.

Appreciate the thoughts.

We'll plan on fighter ops (sweep, escort, defense) primarily the first half of the frame and focus on field attack the second half.

Not a bad idea, the DR's should be at their objective fairly early and it would be good to escort them. F46 is a field (grass I believe) that is close to the border, closing it might push the squad there back to MOB.
