The Defenders Objective after Frame 3 stands at Axis 61 - Allied 25.
ALLIED PILOTS: 130
AXIS PILOTS: 154
ALLIED KILLS: 83
AXIS KILLS: 89
ALLIED ASSISTS: 50
AXIS ASSISTS: 79
ALLIED DEATHS: 80
AXIS DEATHS: 71
Here are the breakdowns for the frames by points.
The Allies took Frame 1 in points by really smashing up the Vehicle base objectives. The Axis successfully delivered 77% of the Supplies and but only evacuated 33% of the personnel.
Frame 2 was much closer as the points for the three Vehicle base objectives were more split between the two sides. I had to enforce a penalty in the amount of -120 points for the Axis for going way below minimum on the He 111 (72 Points) Bf 109E and Bf 110 (48 Points). The Allies failed to supply Stalingrad enough supplies with only 42% and only managed to bring home 8% of the personnel evacuated.
In frame 3 the Allies failed to destroy hardly any objects at the Vehicle bases and airfield objectives, which caused a huge swing in the points towards the Axis. The Axis successfully delivered 60% the supplies but only evacuated 31% of the personnel.
In the Pitomnik Defenders Objective the Axis came very close to successfully completing the Objective, but fell 4 short on reaching the 65 needed kills with 61! A very good effort! Therefore the Allies, who shot down 25 of the German Pitomnik Defenders, are rewarded with 75 points.
That brings the total and FINAL scores to...
Allies: 2216
Axis: 2325A very close event by the numbers! I hope everyone had a good time, and want to thank the setup CMs for their patience and hard work, the CICs for some guinea pig action and the players for allowing me to try something a little different and hopefully entertaining.
Thanks again, and see you again in 2014.
