Sunday Night European Campaign
Sunday Jan. 5, 2025 3pm EST 8pm UTC
Duration 1.5 hours

Most of us know the story. Hitler
considered England a threat to his
plans for the conquest of Europe
and when she refused to negotiate
a peace, he decided to suppress or
conquer her. The first stage of
that plan called for air supremacy
over the English Channel and
southern England, to be followed
by landings of German troops
along the English coast.

The Battle of Britain, so famously
named by Winston Churchill,
raged in the air from July,
through mid September 1940.

Objective:
Axis: Bomb down P16 and/or A15 below
50%.

Allies: Defend P16 and A15

Scoring allies win if points exceed Axis kills
1 engine plane-1 point
2 engine plane -2 points

Axis win if they can get A15 or P16 at or below 50%

Allies will have 4500ft airspawns to be determined
Axis will have 4000ft airspawns to be determined

**Tower radar is on for air traffic control
for both sides***

Terrain: avaeto

Allied Planeset, England, Bishops:

Awesome! Can't wait!

If you want to maintain both “keeping the fights close” and the high altitude “boom & zoom” options, insert a thick cloud deck around 5,000’.   

[captain1ma]

yeah thanks for reminding me about the clouds, ill have to make up a cloud file for it.

Consider removing the JU-88A-4 since the HE-111 is available? The A-4 outperforms its historical counterparts, the A-1 and A-5 (which were at BoB.) I think this would see more usage of the HE-111's.

[captain1ma]

i can live with that! consider it done

[DmonSlyr]

Can ditches count as lands to keep the pace up instead of having to fly all the way back home for time sake? Since we do have air spawns after all.

I feel the alt cap is too low. Maybe 10k since airspawns are already 4,500 feet. I doubt there's gonna be any alt monkey BnZers in hurr/spit 1s and 109Es/110. Its gonna be pretty close quarters but I feel 5k might impact the fight

i get the concerns. the spawns will be such that no one really will have time to climb. The idea is a close quarter fight if it needs to be adjusted ill do it on the fly. for now its going to be 5, and we'll figure it out as we go.

Yeh, the bombers will get devastated by ground ack as well.

[captain1ma]

well i can raise the ceiling to 8k then with a spawn at 5k and 5.5k respectively

[captain1ma]

scoring clarification. if the axis take a base down to 50% or below, it gives them the base.

otherwise scoring is based on downed aircraft

1 point for single engine
2 points for twin engine

[captain1ma]

i think i have everything set but the weather

[Lazerr]

When you are saying take a base down by 50%, are we talking about a town, or 50% of the total objects on a base?

[captain1ma]

the town for A15 to 50% and the port buildings by 50%

i have the setup running in the AVA arena right now for anyone that wants to try it out.


bases will be 91 and 95 for Axis

15 and 16 for allies.

please check airspawns at A15-- South and South west

and at 91 and 95

North at 91 for bombers and fighters
Northwest at 95 for bombers and fighters

[Lazerr]

What's 50% of a port?
