S3 Series

We have a little time before frame 3 starts but I am thinking about having TK, JG51 and JG77 do a joint mission. What do you guys think about it?

Also, what are your thoughts we should do next frame?

Happy Thanks Giving all!

Ni!

TK is game for it.

JG51 is with you.

77 is game.

Will have to look at the map, but they are mostly relegated to rear fields.

With 109s kicking ass they could push a deeper picket while strike groups tidy up remaining front fields or smash the industrial complex south of 32.

Or take operations North, but that may be expected as well.

Thank you for the support and I look forward to reading your thoughts on what targets you want to hit.

352nd, are you guys up again for air support for our bombers? I haven't forgotten the rest of you all. Just pre thinking. If anyone has an idea please post them. This is the one thing I like about the axis side and that is we all work well together. I truly believe we have the A team this series.

Just to get the "creative juices" of others flowing.........
As a Group, we always like to consider the availability of airbases to the enemy in the area we are patrolling. All of our Squads have performed better than many had anticipated over the first two Frames, and the enemy has been denied most of their airbases near the Front in the South. As this seems to be a Series in which multiple returns to any target are generally required to achieve identification and destruction of the targets required for closure, the further East we can keep the enemy's available airfields, the less likely "return to target" flights become.
Personally, I always like it when the strike guys tell us that they KNOW that they can close "target X" if their fighter cover can just get them there. I would merely recommend that our strikers "consider" closing one or all of the airfields in close proximity to our "lines" and specifically to POINTS.

Hawk...

What rides do you have left? I know you guys used Ju88's in the first 2 frames.......are you allowed to use more 88's?
I see you have 110's and stukas in your inventory......do these need to be used?

<S> -Epic-


If you can use 88's i would launch as massive attack on their northern largest field F-4. I would have you roll out of F-181. Head NE to rendezvous with escort
at F-122(7.5.7.5). Make a heading of 90 degrees to(8.5.8.5), and head directly SE to target 4. I would also have 1-2 squads of Hvy 109's for ACK suppression at F-4
and at least 3 squads for escort. Say JG 51 JG77 and TK as escorts...Haze Thor and 221 in Hvy 109's. 352nd Could create a diversion and approach F-4 from the South to throw off enemy from concentrating on your BG. Just some thoughts....

Epic,

I like where you are going with that and will do some planning tonight. I want to chat with JG 51, JG77 and TK and hear their thoughts. I too was thinking about hitting the north and as far as I know, there is no restriction on how many times we can use the Ju-88 but will check on it again.

Thanks for your input!

Lots of "associated" items at each of these locations.

Yep, I am thinking this will really put the hurt on them if we concentrate our efforts in a small area. I will go over the rules for stepping tonight and try to have something out up for review tomorrow.

Thanks for the help.
