We have the wrong B-24. Small detail, but could be a difference-maker.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

But we have the right Lancaster for a "low or no" light mission & the Baltic map is perfect for this type of event.  If we extend the icons & have clear a clear night this could be a hoot :)

Ploiesti !

It was a great Scenario in Air Warrior.

It would be a good Three Frame Event, like FSO. Of course the Axis would know what the primary target is, but which day would they attack. :cool:

Its great. Its not just a one raid deal. You could run the 1944 mission like march though July where the 15th Air Force ran like 15 mission into the fields to cut production by 60%. Could be a great set up. And its not the only targets in the area there is also were also factories at Budapest 100 miles down the road.

We have a snapshot set up for this.

Thats small!  If they can make a larger map that incluse Romania and Greece, it would make a intresting FSO.
