My only preference is to close 58 before we pop radar at T+25 if you want to go after it.
Why the emphasis on before you break dar?
Once 40 fighters pop the radar bubble it will be obvious to the enemy the action is in the West.
If you close 58 before that time, they may believe that strike is a feint as it is a tiny field. It may hold enemy forces in the east for a bit which may make a difference later in the frame.
Also, from T+40 to T+70 any enemy fighters trying to get to our Main body of forces will be a threat to your strike on 58 as we will all be in the area attracting them.
After T+70 closing 58 will have to be done with the enemy alerted to our intentions and with the Main body egressing. There may well be enemy fighter groups arriving from the east by this time to 58.
I like the idea of an NOE strike pre-T+25 in the same area as our Main strike. It will only confuse the issue for the enemy.
IN any case it will be very obvious early in the frame what modifications to the plan are necessary. The enemy may be reading our mail and be based as far west as possible. In that scenario the plan will change accordingly.
