Lancaster pilots needed! Tallboy bombs sink Tirpitz, demolish uboat pens!
« on: April 29, 2018, 08:11:30 PM »
The June scenario "Fjord Fury" is coming.  Dates, info, and registration here:
http://ahevents.net/index.php/events/scenarios/current-or-next-scenario

Imagine escorted, high-alt Lancasters with Tallboy "earthquake" bombs blasting craters though the roofs of hardened u-boat pens, and sinking the Tirpitz and Lutzow hiding in the scenic fjords of Norway!  :airplane:

What could be more fun for brave Aces High bomber pilots?   :aok

How often do you get to fly Lancasters in scenarios?  :aok

Please join me in this GLORIOUS endeavor, and bring your friends!

One of our Lancaster squadrons is full.

The other -- the famous Dambusters 617 squadron -- has spots open.

Come on in, Aces High bomber pilots!  Time for some GLORY!  :aok

that bomb needs adding!   +1

Plus a barrel bomb,  We have no dams or bridges to blow up so maybe the side of a CV. 

I can just picture a guy spawning in on deck and looking left and right to see this small object bouncing in the water straight towards them.   OHHHHH SHIIIII   KAPOOWW!

Played this scenario in Warbirds with the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs providing leadership for the Axis.  But we had Royal Navy F4u's. 

AF Academy set up a command center in their gym with computers arranged in a circle to coordinate the defense and attack.  Months of planning and weeks o fun.

This happened in Aces High as well, Hostile Shores was the 2nd ever Scenario in AH.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
