Hi all,

This is the write up for the next SSO that will start on the 5th Oct.

Please post side and numbers.

==============================================

V-1 Hunters

July - August 1944

No sooner had the Allies gained a beach head in France and the Germans start assaulting London with the V-1.

In early August Churchill makes a statement to the House of Commons and says after seven weeks of non-stop V1 attacks, 5,340 having being launched, that 4,735 have been killed, 14,000 injured and 17,000 houses completely destroyed.

The Allies must stop these attacks, and for the Germans to survive the V-1 must force the Allies to the negotiating table.

This Squad Ops is designed to be a low level JABO oriented battle. The JU 88A4 will be used in a dive bomber role only.

Spit XIV (Limited)
Tempest V (Limited)

Actually ViFF, talk it over with Grayarea. Its his SSO and that is the special rule he is putting in place. I am sure he would welcome any dialogue on the subject and will discuss his reasoning behind it. I am also sure he will listen to yours and others concerns and input.

Just hurry is all .. 1 week and 2 days to next frame.

After running three in a row I am taking a break. Sit back and look over No Day at the Beach, Burma, Husky and think on what went right, what went wrong, and how I can do better for next time.

But for now you get new blood .. well sort of. Sort of like old blood which is tanned, rested, recharged and back --> Grayarea.

GrayArea... whats with the 10k alt cap enforced by wind layer ?

can't we do without this ?

Grayarea · « **Reply #14 on:** September 27, 2003, 01:31:20 PM »

Hi all,

The thinking behind this 10k alt rule is simple.

This particular SSO is trying to represent the low level JABO environment present in the V1 hunt at this point in history.

Several people I have chatted to recently said they are sick of having to climb to 30k to stand *ANY* chance in the last SSO.

Personally I find it a sad duty to enforce design criteria with a wind layer, but without it, people in my opinion would climb like mad when that is not what this SSO is about.

From a side point of view a 10k limit makes some sense as both sides have good planes with similar performance below 10k, excluding the Spit of course which does well at any alt.

Personally I have no preference for the 10k limit, I am happy to go with the majority view.
