Title: This week: Rain of Fire
Post by: Oldman731 on July 20, 2008, 12:00:57 PM
RAIN OF FIRE

After three and a half bloody years of savage
combat on beaches, in jungles, on the seas and
in the skies, the Allies at last are poised on
the doorstep of Japan.  By night, the full horror
of their vengeance is visited on the islands'
inhabitants as the mighty B-29s burn their cities
to cinders.  By day, the blue carrier planes and
the silver long-range American fighters bomb and
strafe the few remaining targets of significance. 
Both sides know that the final amphibious assault
of the war - the campaign that will cost a million
American lives, and will destroy Japanese civilization
forever - is only a few weeks away.


ALLIES (KNIGHTS)

On carriers:
F6F-5 (all carriers)
F4U-1C (C77, C89)
F4U-1D (all carriers)
F4U-4 (C79, C90, C92, C95, C97)
FM2 (all carriers)
Seafire IIC (C78, C93, C99)
TBM (all carriers)

At air starts (A88, A122):
P-38L
P-47N
P-51D
B-24J (pretend it's a B-29)

At A3 (representing the USSR):
A-20G
Il2
P-39Q
La5
La7


AXIS (BISHOPS)

A6M5b
Ki-61
Ki-84
Nik2-J
B5N2
D3A1
Ki-67
M-16
Ostwind
(Note Axis air start is at A119)


NOTE ON AIR STARTS:

Look for the blue boxes out in the ocean.  Each is
associated with a land base (for Allies, typically
on the bottom edge of the map).  Each blue box has
one square filled in.  Go to the associated land base
and take off in the direction of the filled-in box.
Note that each of the land bases has several air starts. 
(For example, if an Allied player takes off from A122's
north runway, he will begin in Sector 8,1; if he takes
off to the northeast, he will begin in 12,1; to the
northwest, at Sector 4,1.)  You will begin high in the sky,
by the blue box, with your gear down and your engine off. 
Remember to take care of those two things promptly.

The Japanese air starts are governed by A119, in Sector
6,12.  The Allied air starts are at A88 (0,0) and
A122 (8,0).


SETTINGS:

Radar:  Tower 237,600, Sector 369,600
Visibility is 12 miles
Field Ack:  low-level and puffy are both .25
Killshooter is on
Fuel burn rate is 1.0
Strat is disabled
The invasion hasn't come yet, so there are no vehicles
  available to capture bases.

AND PLEASE REMEMBER:  Civil behavior is valued,
and required, in this arena.

I got some free time last night, so I was able to play for 20 min.  Great Plane set up!!! I love the fact you"ve got the Russians too.  I flew the Nik and Ki-61, had great time getting killed.  You guys should keep this set up.  I love it!!
