That was an epic battle and I think it mirrored "Black Thursday"
pretty well. We took quite a lickin' but gave as good as we
got. Hit the target and still made it back to base, albeit with
significant losses of around 70%.
Target was again the Industrial City.
Got it down to 23% after all ordnance expended.
Clobbered the radar factory as well for good measure.
Our forces consisted of the following:
B-17 Bombers: 44 sets
P-47 Escorts: 31 sets.
It would have been perfect but as usual a few people
upped P-47's and Tempests. Musta took em some
time to get to us as we were attacking Knights
but the jugs were from Bishland.
I might not know how long it took them to get to us
but I know how long they lasted after they
attacked us: mere seconds. That's what you
get for violating the theme of this mission!
(no, I'm not naming names...)
The next [MoM] is already setup and is to be
a joint Bishop vs. Rooks affair to recreate yet
another historical battle.
