History
1942. Europe stands in a stalemate, the Axis unable to gain control of both air and sea and unable to mount an invasion of England. The British entrenched on their island, unable to mount an invasion of France. The task of subduing Britain falls to the Luftwaffe and the U-boat korps. But Britain still has teeth...
Please note: While other events attempt to recreate a historical engagement as closely as possible, this frame is designed to provide an equal and fair tactical engagement across a wide front. There is a large spread of available airframes and, while pilots are free to take any aircraft they wish, you will find the more capable aircraft are based more towards the rear and, therefore, have longer flight times to see combat.
Each frame starts at 8pm in the UK, 9pm in France/Germany, 10pm in Finland/Estonia and 3pm EST. The planned length of a single frame is 2 hours.
This is an UNLIMITED life event.
Mission Orders
Allied targets are the Cities and Factories at Paris, Cherbourg and Brussels.
Axis Targets are the Cities and Factories at London, Southhampton and Bristol.
Frame victor will be the side destroying the most targets. Please note: All targets at all fields may be destroyed in order to deny the enemy a tactical resource (ie, dropping all Ord at a field enemy bombers spawn from, etc) but only city and factory targets are counted in terms of score. Any or all of the 3 target areas can be hit, there is no requirement to hit all 3.

Restrictions and special notes
Sector Counter Radar (bardar) will be on but ranged based from field radar towers and has a minimum altitude of 1,000 ft. Radar towers are destroyable and will stay down for the entire frame.
Dot radar will also be on but is NOT range based and has a minimun altitude of 18,000ft. ie, while there is no altitude restriction, if you fly above 18,000ft you'll be on dotdar. If you fly under 1,000ft you won't be on bardar.
