Welcome to "Everything can change on New Year's Day"
Event begins at 10 PM EST
Walkons are welcome

On January 1st 1945 Hitler's last gamble
"Operation Bodenplatte" took off at first light to
attack Airfields of the 2nd 9th and 15th Air Forces.
Scheduled during the Ardennes Offensive, Weather
played a big part of its being delayed until the
New Year. Although 1000 Axis Pilots took place in
the "Big Blow" most of them were new pilots. Twin
engine bombers escorted these green pilots to the
airfields in Holland and Belgium, Only to be shot
at by their own AAA, because the German Army was
not used to seeing that many friendly airplanes in
the sky. As the Attackers approached radar in
Belgium that was used to track the V-1's to England,
the allies detected the large strike force. Allied
fighters scrambled and engaged the 800 plane strike
force. What ensued was an axis catastrophe, In all
19 leaders were numbered among the 250 casualties
suffered by Luftwaffe that day. Although claiming
500 enemy aircraft destroyed including nearly and 80
shot down in air to air combat, Allied losses would
be made good in two weeks. On the German side however
most Jagdgeschwader never fully recovered before being
sent Eastwards to stem the Russian advance towards the
River Oder.

Thank you all for attending  It looked like there was some awesome battles and seemed like all had fun.

I scored frame 1 only

The Axis where tasked to attack A601 and 61 destroy ack, fuel and any enemy planes they encountered

11 Allied planes shot down @ 15 points each = 165
14 AcKs destroyed @ 5 points each =                  70
8 Fuel bunkers destroyed @ 15 points each =  120
Total                                                                   355

The Allies defended A60 and 61

23 Axis planes shot down @ 15 points each = 345

I would say that was very close and shows what a good fight was fought
