I was teasing dux about sending me the Axis orders for Friday since I was the Allied Frame C.O. Below is what he sent me. Best laugh I had in 2 weeks.
Hey Daddog, sorry for the mixup. It's a good thing you spoke up! ;-)

Frame 1 Axis Orders
Gentlemen, here are this week's orders. You are going to like this one.
Active bases are A8 and A12.
Active aircraft are A6M Zeke, D3A Val, B5N Kate, and get ready for this... the B-29 Superfortress! That's right, HiTech has one last surprise update for us before releasing AH2 at the end of July, and he wants to test it with us here first before unveiling it at the Evil Con Mission.Sounds great, huh? Hold on... there's more.
Each B-29 will carry a choice of Little Boy or Fat Man bomb. :-)
Squad Assignments:
Fat Drunk Bastards B-29
Nightmares VMF-100 B-29
Arabian Knights Zeke
412th FS Zeke
VA-136 The NightHawks Kate
Airmageddon Squadron Kate
III/Jabostaffel Zeke
357th Bomber Group Kate
Dogz of War Zeke
Rogue Squadron Zeke
Shillelah Zeke
Freebirds Kate
Flying Mongrels Val

FDBs and Nightmares will launch out of A12 in B-29s, loadout your choice. There is an airstart spawnpoint... Make sure you select either the NW or SW spawnpoints. These will put you at 45,000 feet. We tested this last week, and found that you don't lose more than 350 feet after launching. (apparently there are still some flight model issues that HTC needs to iron out on the B-29, especially pertaining to its lift-weight ratio)
FDBs will attack the northern cluster.
Nightmares are assigned to attack the southern cluster.
Follow the yellow routes to target.
Guys, you won't even have to look down the bombsites for this run... just get your B-29 to the specified drop point on the map, and let them drop. The bombs have a damage radius of 20 miles (HTC is looking into the numbers, they feel it might be kinda weak). Due to the mushrooming effects the blast will not reach higher than 30,000 feet. Stay above that.
Victory conditions state that these targets need to be at 80% or less, so you can probably be off target by about 10 miles and still accomplish the mission.
After the drop, return to A12.

Arabian Knights, 412th FS, VA-136 The NightHawks, Airmageddon Squadron, III/Jabostaffel, 357th Bomber Group, Dogz of War, Rogue Squadron, Shillelah, and Freebirds...
Launch your aircraft out of A8. Loadout is your choice. Target is your choice also. COs will work out amongst themselves who goes where. Follow the green routes to target. Victory conditions specify that we need to destroy one object total out of bases
A10, A9, A6, and V33. That's not one object at each base... that's one object total out of all of them.
One word of caution: try not to wander into the Blast Radius Zones (see map) at around T+20.
After dropping ordnance, return to A8

Sounds easy enough, gentlemen. Let's have fun!

EDIT: Daddog notified me that I didn't get the orders to him. Wow, I guess in all this excitement I forgot that the Mongrels are Axis this time. Funny, I didn't see them on the list, but DD's a pretty good guy, and he wouldn't lie about something like that.
Good thing, too. I also forgot that we had a third target that we need to attack; the enemy HQ. So the Mongrels are getting this glamorous assignment. I used up all the allotments of other aircraft, so it looks like you'll fly the Val. It's a great little aircraft... turns on a dime, climbs like an X-15, and BnZs with the best of them.
Loadout: 1 (one) 50-kg bomb
Launch from A12 at T+15 and fly the blue route to target, staying at 102 feet at all times. Don't worry about running into much opposition; everyone else should be having tons of fun in the center of the map, so it should be a very uneventful flight for you. Be exact on your bombing... apparently there is a bug or something on this terrain that negates proximity damage at the HQs. All hits must be direct in order to be effective. After leveling the HQ, return to A12, following the same route as you took getting there. Make sure you land by T+115 or your scores will be disqualified (hey, I don't make the rules). Good luck!
