3-3-2001 Snapshot AAR (Rabaul)

WOW!
We had a great turn out overall!
SETUP
Island Terrian
note: orginally written for sfterr but Redwing and I decided that Island was more Pac looking than sfterr   A sector measurement was made and fields picked to make it the same flight wise.

Bishops = Allies F4U-1D Field 52
Rooks = Axis A6m5b only Field 17

With this being my first time as CM it took me a few minutes longer to get things rolling tho we made it under the 15mins past the hour timelimit   Thanks to all for having patience with me!

Allied CO was Samou1 and Axis CO was Duckwing6.  I was having problems getting an Axis to step up and be the CO so Ducky vol. and gave up his beloved hog to fly a zero and lead the axis troops into battle. THANK YOU DUCKY!  

At the start of the event sides were even at 23/23.  The goal? Have the biggest force left at the end.

Ducky split his forces into 3 seperate flights and made a really nice looking pincer going into battle.  Samou1 looked as tho to have all of his forces together in 1 big group.

After a 20 minute flight time the first of the 2 forces entered battle. The allied group struck hard and fast.  For all of ducky's planning he couldn't have forseen what would happen.  In 28 minutes time the axis lost 24 planes with the allies losing only 5 to enemy fire.

The allies had kills spread all over with numerous assists.  The teamwork used had to be just awesome.  Kratzer had high kills for the allies with 3! WTG Kratzer!  The axis only managed the 5 kills with Nath getting high of 2 kills.

The outcome was a little more lopsided than I would have guessed at the start.  Both sides did agreat job and I salute the Axis side for doing the best they could!

This was a huge victory for the Allies and very demoralizing for the Axis.

I hope all had fun!  I had a blast being CM for this one!

S!

The allies split into two groups, the first lead by Samoiu and Ripsnort leading MAG-33 members with 8 of us particpating in the 2nd flight. Upon visual contact, MAG-33 went to the back of the pincer to disrupt any IB A/C intent on jumping the main group as they swirled about...excellent wingman tactics were employed and MAG-33 had 9 kills and 7 assists with only 1 loss!  Outstanding guys! <S>
