We met fariz and one other at our initial fienting target (a city) and ended up dodging his seafire in side a cloud of CV ack..... he ripped thru a couple of our 110's and then egressed......

We then went to pick up our goons to escort them to 32


......... we came in ahead of our Ju52's and played with spitfires for a while and then with hurricanes a while longer.................... seemed to last for ever until it was "safe" for the Ju52's to come in........ (they held off just out of range until the furball was over)

We ended up being the lead squad to go into A32, and had been tasked to take down the ack.  We did, but at the cost of our squad.  We drug the spits and hurri's down to the deck though.  :D

Epic furball is correct, I think i was the last Hurri flying and it seemed like i had 4 or 5 110's all trying to get a piece of me.

I saw the low dots north of the field but could not get to investigate them due to those damn 110's.

Having lost all engine oil and with only 1  110 remaining harrasing me i tried to land only for the 110 to come and try to kill me, managed to evade once then had to go for a dead stick landing as he came in to strafe me i had just enough speed left to crab across the runway losing one side of gear.

Considered myself very lucky to get away with a ditch :)

     I was that last 110 that was harrasing you before you landed, I saw you were damaged and struggling to land so instead of finishing you off  I simply buzzed over your head after you touched down, right after that i called out over CH. 1 to see who it was so i could that pilot but noone answer. Anyway to all who fought in that great battle over 32.

     
      To kronos' previous post I think you missed something there bud :) not all of our squad died. only you guys, me and Zanshin did manage to stay alive although he had to RTB.
