First you need to log into the AvA this week. Second bring your best game, 109s are attracted to blue. Third, bring friends, lots of friends.
For the weak willed we have 109 snack food, sorry I meant to say spits, to help out.
Thanks to the Duke and the AvA staff for this weeks setup:
SINK THE TIRPITZ
The year is 1944. The Western Allies' bloody effort to
move supplies to the Soviet Union along the Murmansk
gauntlet is in full swing. Yet every officer in the
Admiralty, and every seaman and sailor on the ice-
coated ships, still fears the sudden appearance of
Germany's super battleship, "Tirpitz," which can
effortlessly sink an entire convoy if she chooses.
All attempts to sink her have thus far failed. Now the
carriers HMS Formidable and HMS Emperor, assisted
by long-range Mosquitos and Lancasters, will try again.
