I really like to get orders up early so here goes:

Preliminary orders for Frame #1

I am thinking we are going to be defensive this frame. I do not like the plane matchup at all but I am not a fighter guy so hopefully I will be surprised.

Squad Basing:
4th – F89
23rd – F91
475th – F103
AE – F105
100th – F96 – P39D
NS – F96 – P39D

Fighter CAP:

NW Squads
4th and 23rd – TAC 45 - Pick rides. Cover Port Moresby. I would like one of you to have P39D’s if not a problem. Stay in 1,2 grid and climb until DOT’s appear on DAR and then engage. The AX DAR covers most of the area north and east of the port.

Please provide someone on DAR, I will hopefully fly (since we have so few strike pilots). Also, please plan your rotation so we always have someone overhead. I am not really sure if that’s the best approach or not but that’s what Jabo recommended. I guess I would prefer to be up in force or not up at all, of course the problem with that is the AX can CAP our fields for the entire frame if we let them get overhead. Thoughts?

Sometime during the frame, I would like the pilots in the P39D’s to attack the tanks on the trail. I am waiting for clarification on where those tanks are coming from (AI) or if they are just the static tanks at 77 and 78 (Only static tanks). There are 4 static tanks at both locations. If they are the static tanks, the P39 will have to carry some ord. to drop on the guns before engaging the tanks. If this is acceptable, please mark the tanks before the game! They are very hard to see when flying.

SE Squads
AE and 475th – TAC 40 - Pick Rides. Let me know if either of you want to use up a set of P39’s.

Again, please provide someone on DAR. Also, please plan your rotation so we always have someone overhead. You guys are going to need to cover grids 6,0 - 6,1 - 7,0 - 7,1. I would expect to see the Knights and UMM to show up there sooner or later as well as the AI attackers. Also, please keep an eye on 96. Jabo hasn’t said anything about it but the Knights might try to close that port because it gives us an end-a-round base.

IF any of you decide to use the P39 and if things get slow, feel free to attack static ships at 83, 70 or 69 (there are 2 at each) or look for the shipping at 4,4. All of these areas are on AX DAR so you need to stay low or don’t go there.

Strike Mission:

I know we are supposed to play defensive but the statics ships just sitting there waiting to be shot is way too tempting.

100th and NS – TAC 35 - NOE strike shipping at P60 (8 boats) and F62 (4 boats) and any AI shipping in 3,7. I am assuming the 100th will supply some fighter cover but there will be enough ships for everyone. Get in quick and get out. I am assuming that there will be very little AX cover that far north, maybe 1 step, so hopefully this isn’t another suicide mission. There are a few deadly guns (40mm, 20mm and MG) so may want to bring ord. to take them out 1st. Dew and Cool can plan the attack.

After the 1st strike on the ships, the 100th and the NS can decide if they want to go back or help defend the south and attack AI planes.


I have attached a dtf file for all the AX DAR that I could find in case anyone wants to use it.

(1st time trying to attach a file in the forum so hope it works)

I think this keeps it simple. Please let me know what I forgot.

I just flew around the map some and there are FOUR green tanks in a line very near 77 but there are FIVE grey tanks just SW of 78. The fifth one is two small bridges up the valley from the other 4 that are just leaving 78. Sorry for not knowing the versions of the tanks.

Tanks are attached to the field regardless of type. So in Frame 1 Allies can attack all tanks at 77 - 78 along the Kokoda Trail.

Fuel Mult at .75

P-39D (default ammo load)
Light :82Min
With D/T:135Min

P-40E
Light :89Min
With D/T:134Min

*Note : Be aware I'm sure the Japanese know this down to the minute and will be counting on only facing 1/2 our defenders while the others refuel)
