Having discussed with McQ we're going to do a dry run on Saturday at 10pm GMT using the Kent map.
Plan is as follows:
16 player lobby set up to 1940,
10 german aircraft- 6xH3's, 3x109's,
6 British aircraft- hurri's, spit mkII's,
German aircraft to make their way to manston and form up in a holding pattern,
British aircraft to make their way to Hawkinge and form up ready for scramble,
At defined time between the two 'leaders' game will begin,
Target for german bombers is the cathedral at Canterbury,
British aircraft will attempt to intercept and prevent bombing from occurring,
Only one life per person with KIA's returning to their home base upon being downed.
Once bomb run has finished german bombers will then attempt to make it back to french coastline.
German objectives: bomb cathedral and return safely to french coastline
British objectives: shoot down enemy force at any stage during game
As stated this is a dry run to orientate players with the game as no map will be allowed to be used during the actual game and you will therefore need to get a grip on landmarks.
Headsets are a must as communication will be of vital importance.
I'll happily command the german bomber force having previously done this. I'll need a flight leader for the 109's though of there are any volunteers. Similarly the British force will require a similar wing commander.
Liason between forces will be via these leaders to commence the game.
Ideally we'd like those wanting to take part to state their intention here along with a preference of aircraft they wish to fly. Please state a 1st and 2nd choice in the event it becomes over subscribed.
Sign up is via the social group, send me or McQ a PM if you wish to join.
Here's to Saturday!
