The Deadliest FrontHow about a western front scenario that will be dependent on losses etc... for instance if 8th AF lost too many bombers they couldn't continue the strategic bombing campaign.

Frame 3: The Invasion Front. The allies have successfully secured the Normandy beachhead and are advancing steadily. The Jagdgwaffe has been neutralised as a threat over France, however, the Jagdgwaffe still mounts sorties and continues to destroy approximatly the same ammount of allied planes as they lose, but is losing experienced pilots. Aircraft: 190A8, A5, 109G6, Me 410, P47D, P51D, B17G, B24 and ground units fighting near normandy.
