All I want is ac destroyed, ac lost, and any other ground targets destroyed. For example
332nd Flying Mongrels
Lost:
4 B-17's
Destroyed:
1 Bomber Hanger, 2 Fighter Hangers
If you don't post here your mission will be considered a failure. Until the parsers are done expect to do this after each frame. We will confirm info by the logs.

Fat Drunk Bastards:
Offensive sweep on P34/A2 uneventfull. Held CAP there until VMF-323 was able to drop. SOB went down for survey and took photographs, confirming all ack down on both bases.
Proceeded from the port area about 80 degrees to hook up with the bombers about 30 miles offshore of A11, and escort them the rest of the way home. Uneventful most of the way, but ran into some 109s near the english coast, killing all 4 of us. (We'd lost one to disco early on (was allowed reup but got caught alone and killed))

8 pilots.
Lost two 109s (shot down) and I *think* we shot down 3-4 P47s and 1-2 Spitfires... (wish my memory was a little bit better about the details).
5 rtb'd, 1 disco'd right near the end.
One thing is kind of weirding me out. I had assigned 416 RCAF to the coastal patrol that was to be the protection of P34 and A2 (Mongrels and FDB's target). I didn't hear from Henning (416 CO) all night. The only resistence met by the Mongrels and the FDBs was the escort group from the Assassins, well after 34 and A2 were bombed. Then today I look at the overall squad list posted by Daddog, and 416 isn't even on it. It's looking more and more like I left an entire area of coastline under the protection of a squadron that wasn't even there.
Will you be posting the logs?

This is just a capture of the raw log: http://www.simladder.com/eventshq/frame_log.php (http://www.simladder.com/eventshq/frame_log.php)
I'm working on sorting it all out today.

Thanks Exile.
Hening, the C.O. for the 416 RCAF did not fly. I did a check for his AH squadron to see what other members he has in his squad, and they too did not fly. As I said above, we left the area that ended up getting hit to a squad that was AWOL. Now this isn't anyone's fault but the squad that didn't show. But I'm pretty sure they fell below the 66% minimum criteria. :)
Since the 416 RCAF weren't part of the latest overall squad roster, did anyone know of their absence beforehand or was it that they just didn't reply to daddog's email asking for squad rosters? In any event, I'd reevalute the 416 RCAF's participation in these T.O.D.s

I beleive Assassins also lost another 109G-10 (ts) to a ditch. Hblair, I think that happened while your puter was taking a dump.

Thats bizarre, I had 4 hits register but logs do not show it for bombin'
-
I should have mentioned that I'm only grabbing the following data:
Start Flight
Kill Awarded
Man. Kill Awarded
Object Destroyed
Field Capture
I'm assuming this is all we will be using.
-
I have e-mailed hening to see what happened. :( I am looking for any of their call signs in the log, but it does not look good.
Your next frame C.O. will need to consider that when working on the mission list.
-
Swoop still need to know what targets on the ground were destroyed.
-
6 109s shot down
lost 7 P47d30s
2 p47d30s rtb-ed
We got whopped, due primarily to insufficient altitude. Good fun tho. :)

Ground targets were supposed to be reconned by P51 escort. The visual I had was all acks at Port and A2 were destroyed, along with misc. targets such as fuel, and possibly ammo.

Those recon photos are at the bottom of the Channel now, along with SOB and the rest of the FDBs :p

416RCAF was instructed to cap F25 to F27. No e/a were spotted during

augured when landing to refuel. Home field F27. Aircraft was BF109G10.
Hening - 2 sorties, landed
Buzz416 - 2 sorties, landed

Please allow me to answer for the absence of 416RCAF during the first TOD event. We did not receive any orders regarding the event. This was reported and I was told orders would follow. When we arrived at the arena without orders the first thing we read is that if you start asking questions you are booted out.
I apologise for any confusion and the fact that this was our first TOD experience made it a bit more foggy. Now that we have made it and have a good sense of what to do, it will never happen again. Thank you for the list of emails after the fact.
Cheers,
-
Ahem.... :)
Please don't make it look as if I did not send you your orders. I sent them to you mid-day monday, a full 5 days in advance of the frame. I recived no bounce back on the e-mail. If you did not get your orders for some reason you had ample time to check in here and inquire about it. You also had that list of emails which were *not* posted "after the fact". They were posted here even before the missions were sent out. Additionally all squad CO's -email addresses are on the TOD website. I'm glad you got your stuff sorted out but your misstep in frame one cannot be placed on anyone else's shoulders but your own.
