Next scenario: Battle of Britain 2006
« on: August 16, 2006, 09:46:23 PM »
The dates and times of this four-frame scenario are not yet finalized.  Frame 1 is estimated to be September 23rd.  Frames are estimated to run on Saturdays at 3 pm Eastern US.

More information will be posted here as details become available.
 
--------------- Battle of Britain 2006 -------------------
 
It is July, 1940, and the fate of a nation is about to be decided.
 
Hitler has just given the order to begin preparation for Operation Sealion -- the invasion of Britain. France has fallen, the United States has not yet joined the war, and the Soviet Union is still Germany's ally. Britain stands alone.
 
The first order of battle is for the Luftwaffe to pave the way by destroying the Royal Air Force and pounding British infrastructure and cities. The Luftwaffe is mighty and skilled. The RAF is outnumbered, but it has the world's most advanced radar system -- and something just as important: an indestructible will to repel the Luftwaffe, no matter what the personal cost.
 
The Battle of Britain scenario will pit the RAF in its Hurricane Mk I's and Spitfire Mk I's against the Luftwaffe in its Bf 109E's, Bf 110C's, Ju 87's, and Ju 88's. The Luftwaffe will work to destroy all airfields, ports, and ships in the southeast of Britain. The RAF will do whatever it can to stop them.
 
The fate of Britain hangs in the balance.

Rescue Conditions
Pilots who return to tower upon landing will be considered lost.
Can I ask why this is... ?

Pilots will wait to be picked up by Boat or Vehicle or Transport aircraft or they will walk/swim to the nearest airfield, ship or port.
I just thought this was funny, I can see myself spending an hour swimming back to shore

Bailed pilots and rescue craft shall be considered inviolate and must not be attacked under any circumstances.
Just my opinion here, I will follow this rule but I dont agree with it....

I got a suggestion...

Last time ('04) it was a re-write of history. All new rules, new leaders, etc. How about this time imposing the same restrictions as the LW had? Maybe just some of them. Things like fighters have to stay so close to the bombers. 110s need 109 escorts, etc (not that they do in AH2, but you know what I mean).

I mostly agree. The He111 and Do17 did most of the work in the BoB, but the Ju88A-1 was involved, just in smaller numbers. The Ju88A-4 went into combat service near the end of the BoB, so it's not like the Ju88A-4 is completely out of the time frame.

While it would be nice to have the variety of the He111 and Do17, the Ju88A-4 does the job well (perhaps a little too well, as it is tougher than the Ju88A-1.)

Even though it was very difficult to intercept and catch the Ju88A-4 the last time this was run (they have a tendency to dive for speed when they are spotted), I will still register to be a Spitfire Flight Lead. It was a lot of fun the last time!

OOZ, the last time it was run, the M-16 (I think, mighta been M-3) and C-47 were used for rescue vehicles.

edit: wow, that's a significant LW numbers advantage. 54 Hurris and 30 Spits vs 72 109s, 35 Ju88 formations, 16 110s, and 8 more 110s or 109s.  Good luck getting 47 more people to WANT to fly Axis.  :) There's gonna be some grumpy folks during registration on this one.

If I recall they used c47 to spot, and PT to pick up. I might be in error here.

Yup, I forgot about the PT's for downed pilots in the Channel.

Pilots who return to tower upon landing will be considered lost.
There is no way during the Frame for the CM to determine if the plane was damaged or not. So they assume the plane is damaged, and therefore counts as a lost plane.

All you have to do is call the rescue CM before you exit flight and you they will authenticate you to reup after T+60. This happened to several Spitfires in my flight that took oil leaks and had to land before reaching our home field.

Do you guys have an idea of the start times of the frames, and if they will be on Saturday or Sunday?
