Frame 3 "Target London" Scored as a Luftwaffe victory
The LW came in hard and fast from the east, and with a phalanx of fighters in front, drove their Ju-88 formations towards the heart of London. The RAF squadrons were hard pressed to group quickly enough for a coordinated attack, and soon found themselves embroiled in feirce combats from the mouth of the Thames, to London itself.
The raiders dropped on the city center and caused much destruction to the capital. The bombers then ran a running battle with the remnants of the RAF force as it egressed south east for home.

Event Score Overall: Draw.
LW: 3612 pts
RAF: 3895 pts
The LW consistantly had fewer #s then they were supposed to have, and so their final standing is improved slightly to reflect that.
My own thoughts: Attrition was a factor for both sides in this, and both sides had a major victory out of reach with the #s of losses sustained. Frame 1 was the best frame for the RAF, and frame 3 was the best frame for the LW.
The whole "who won" thing should always take a back seat to "did you have fun?" and "did you get a WW2 experience out of it?". I hope that in at least one frame, everybody got a taste of what it might have been like during the Battle of Britain, and perhaps read up on some of it.
My thanks to all the COs, and participants, I hope you enjoyed it.
