Fortress Europe MA Mission week 4

[AKKuya]

To all Aces High Players and Squads:

There is a public mission in Melee arena being planned by Fortress Europe players. This is open to all. A simple 8th Air Force vs Luftwaffe high altitude bombing mission with escort fighters. The primary purpose is to give some fun and excitement for those involved. Secondary will be for raising awareness of the Fortress Europe event.

These missions will rotate among the countries to allow for more players to participate and to spread the word. We understand chess piece loyalty. We do ask for those who could take a couple of hours one night to overcome this and have some fun with players you normally shoot down and fly with them against players you normally fly with.

Date : 21 April 2018 (Saturday)
Time : 9PM EST/ 8PM CST

Country selection alphabetically :
Allied - Bishop
Axis - Knight
Axis - Rook

Requested aircraft for mission :

Allied
B-17
B-24
P-51
P-47
P-38

Fighter escorts should carry plenty of fuel especially if another Allied aircraft is selected by a player.

Axis
109
190
TA-152
110
410
Brewster
C.205

262 is not requested for this first mission. Should a jet emerge, we have no problem depriving that player from perk points.

Allied CO for this will be APDrone. Bomber Commander will be AKBmzawy  

2 volunteers from Axis side to coordinate Bishop and Rook Axis teams would be appreciated. if Allied bomber force encounter captured Allied aircraft piloted by Luftwaffe pilots, then we will have to make the sacrifice of sending such valuable aircraft to the ground beneath in small parts.

Assigned Mission route will be at 22,000 feet for bomber crews. Route will enter the conjunction area where Bishop/Knight/Rook meet and fly roughly zig zag between Rook and Knight areas of operation.  The intent of the mission is to simulate the 8th AF bombing campaign of strategic targets especially country strats.  These missions are not designed to "win the war". Once all ordnance has been released, RTB will be called. We will fight our way into and out of hostile territory.

If you can attend, please come out to the show.

 

Following week will be Fortress Europe in SEA 2.

Aces High Players.

Please remember that the bombers in this mission are practicing tactics and procedures for the "FORTRESS EUROPE" event. Our plan is not to capture bases or change any attempts to win the war. We request any player who joins in the Allied B-17s or B-24s to go with the flow of our mission and not request changes. We will gladly accept technical knowledge. Our mission is to be engaged with enemy fighters and employ saturation bombing. The final hopeful outcome is for all bombers to land at an Allied airfield.

Fighters watch for large bomber formations to engage.

262 and 163 pilots are advised in the past we have had success taking perkies away from your scores. Our formation is getting tighter with a lot of lead coming your way.
