It's late June 1944 in France. With Hitlers battalitons repositioning themselves and airfields being pushed back into France, Churchill's invasion has hit a snag.

Resupplying troops have taken most of the air supplies for fuel and ammunitions leaving most squadrons scrambling in England trying to deploy to France.

The battlefield is left with only fuel and ammo for ground vehicles with the next fields providing CAS. Axis bombers have retreated to the rear flanks while in England, Allied bombers have been delayed from deploying to France.

Heavy Axis He-117 bombers (B-17's) from rear fields in France have proven to be a pain in the side for foward ground units and airfields.

Not to be outdone, the latest fighters from the US and England have been flown across to provide support for the forward fields with heavy resistance to late model Axis Dora and G-10 fighters. German armour is proving it's superior design against the Sherman's from the US army. The US Airforce has flown in P-47D-25's and 30's to assist in the crunch with P-38's.

This is a great sand box the bomber guys.

Which map are you using? france?

Think about upping the troop capture to 21. With B-17 formations on both sides that's a helluvalotta ordinance available to the 3-6 am milkrun-pork-auger-grab personel that are generally on duty for one side in particular.

Just a thought. Don't nobody hyperventilate now.

Ah, Im glad that P51D will be there tomorrow and I hope it not perk, if it is, then add P51B.
