AE'sRgr besea, will assign you for two escort missions then. <S>
About NS mission 2artillery 28 can be hard to close with tanks and all, I'm rather looking at field 42 at 5,8 for NS 2nd mission. It should be easy to close in 1-2 passes with 6x500lbs coming in from the SE. Just make sure to come in with alt as the ack from the artillery 41 close by would otherwise be deadly. Escort could clean up any leftovers.
About allied Ai'sThe japanese have the larger buff numbers and much better fighters. One thing which has kept us in the game is the points we got from killing Ai's. However now allied Ai B-25's will run right into IJN hands, and I don't think we have the machines to escort them. This could be alot of free points for the Axis and plays to their advantage. However I see one opportunity opening as our Ai's run into IJN territory. As the Axis butcher them, it could leave dock 67 at 2,5 wide open. I'm thinking of calling in the 4th (or 475th) to close it late frame if area is clear of cons.
I'll post final orders at friday evening. As always, all critique is welcome
