Scores for May 2024 FSO: Southern Penetration
« on: May 05, 2024, 03:23:59 PM »


Some notes:

The frame was much closer than the score would indicate. The Allies had a considerable lead after Hour 1, but the Axis was able to take the lead in the end by downing twice as many bombers in Hour 2 than they did in Hour 1. As an Axis player, I can say that the escorts in Hour 1 were very effective despite not getting many kills credited to themselves.

A player strafed down a radar with his P-38 hoping to disrupt the Axis radar coverage. Thankfully, it mattered little in the frame. But the rules are now amended to account for this bush-league behavior going forward. Any non-target object that is destroyed will be restored at the earliest convenience by a CM.

If it could go wrong for the Allies, if did go wrong. The bombers were caught early and most were killed before the first target. Most of the surviving bombers missed their aim points or did not drop at all for some reason. The escorts were ineffective due to low numbers and poor positioning. Seems like a perfect storm situation for the Allies led to overwhelming victory for the Axis in Frame 2.

I'll make some tweaks for Frame 3.
