S3 Series

These can be changed but here is what I would like you all to do.

I agree with Zinhwk. I want the fighters to blanket 167 and 172 and blast them. See how F188 is close to the lines I am going to send the Knights there.

Changes will be in RED.

Luftflotte 6

Base: F124 or F127?
Target: Cover 167 and 172

352nd

Jman, can you Madcat and WildBill take out the ships at 208 in 190s'?

F191 is gold. Do you mean F188?

Axis got a massive lead in frame 2 so you can play it safe and hit the more isolated targets on the edges of allied cover. Again recce of all the new target locations is recommended.

At most they can put 2 FGs on Sicily at frame start. Based on previous frames, Our 2 FGs outnumber and outmatch any 2 FGs they have. We also have the Knight fighters as a bit of a reserve. If we come charging hard and fast out of Catania we might be able to put a lid on 167 and 172 initially. We need to make quick work of 167 if you want that to be your first target. Should their FGs run south to their friends, or support shows up, our fighters can only mount a defense for so long before numbers and time make it very difficult to keep anything off the bombers' back.

After that it is a cat and mouse game as eventually they could have overwhelming numbers in southern Sicily. Might I suggest putting together your priority target type list and then we can adjust to what we can do as the frame progresses. Fields start to run out very fast after this frame.

Dewolf, I meant 161. No, I don't want you covering the Knights. I want you to get up and blast the front and keep them busy.

Zinhwk, You think 167 is better? If so, I can send the KoN, there and try to take it out.

The problem is going to be where will they be? The other problem is where to base everyone?

Should I base everyone at 124, 127 and 130. The fighters get going and the 88's to follow and hit 172 first at alt.

The targets are up to you and what you want to accomplish given the tools at hand. The Allies can only come out of 167 and 172 initially at Sicily. That is as close as they can get. After that they can base anyone anywhere including the triangle symbol landing strips. I would assume they will put fighters at 167 and 172. Putting their strikers there would be stupid considering they would have no cover nearby and we have bases a grid away. Outside of Sicily they could be anywhere, but I imagine their main ops will come out of Malta with Night Stalkers possibly at Palleteria like last frame.

We have a huge points lead to manage making it a bit easier for us to decide what targets. We could go for points to minimize any gains they might get being close to a lot of targets. Or as dewolf suggested, we take some tactical targets to funnel their operations where we want them in later frames. Just keep in mind the first 30min or so will be our golden hour to do as we please, after that, the allies can park all of their planes within a grid of anything we might want to hit.

Dolch of JG77 has been assigned a Ju52 for a field warp infraction in frame 2. I know its very easy to pick the wrong field in some of these terrains so be very careful when you launch that you didnt pick the wrong one on the main map. If you launch and correct your field warp by landing again and switching to the proper field you will not be penalized.

Dolch please fly a Ju52 from F2 to the bridge west of F190 and drop troopers on it then return to land at any friendly field. You may then teleport to RV with your squad and change to the ride of your choice. If you survive the reinforcement mission.
