Winter Sky - Death Ground

The Battle of the Bulge is over, and the Battle for the Rhine is about to begin.  The Allies continue to push toward the Rhine attempting to cut off German Units which are falling back behind the river.
The majority of the armored units which had successfully withdrawn from the bulge have been trundled off to the eastern front in an attempt to stop of the onslought of Soviet hordes.  Likewise a good amount
of the Luftwaffe has also been moved to the eastern front.  Yet a few key units remain on the western front including the Panzer Lehr Division. JG26 and JG27.  They are hard pressed to stop the Allied advance.
The Allies have recovered from the Bulge and the New Years attack by the Luftwaffe on their tactical air fields on the continent.  The 2nd Tactical Air Force of the RAF and the Ninth Air Force of the USAAF
are flying numerous tactical sorties while their armored units cut through rear guard units in an attempt to reach the Rhine.  This scenario will feature for the Axis the Bf-109G14, Bf-109K4, Fw-190A8, Fw-190D9,
Fw-190F8, Me-262, Ar234, Panzer Mk IV H, Panther G, and Tiger I.  Featured for the Allies are the Tyhpoon IB, Tempest Mk V, Spitfire Mk XVI, Spitfire Mk XIV, Mosquito Mk VI, B-26B, P-47D25, P-47D40, P-51D, P-38J, P-38L,
M4-75, M4-76(W), Sherman Firefly VC, and M-18.

I've had time to repair my 428th FS, 474th FG P38J and it needs some new holes.  Feel free to come lighten it up!

We've begun practicing with bombs for the ground attack component of the scenario

And of course we've swept the trash to the side to make room for the 38s!

And since there is a GV/Ground war part of this scenario we've recruited 321Bar to lead the Allied tankers in his M18 Hellcat of doom to deal with the vaunted German armor.....er....wait!   Skip that.  He signed up for a Tiger.    <Torture Bar, torture!>     :)

Wow! Something for everyone in that one. I have only taken part in one of these once, a couple of years ago, (Battle of the Bulge IIRC) and have to admit it was 10 times more fun and intense then anything I've yet to encounter in the main arenas. I may have to check this one out. All I can say is the Allied guys better have some good sticks or they'll be hurtin' for certain!

TopGun has a new top secret weapon, we are currently testing it for combat operation, despite allied control of the air:

I certainly will bring out my polished miss identified panzer tank:

Field paint will be applied before battle :)

Thought you weren't going to fly this one?  The hunt for 38s was too strong to keep you away? :)
