The next mission we are running was one of the first I researched. It took about 40 hours and about another 20 to place everything. I also placed the british AAA batterys according to historical sites, as near as damn it. No information could be found for German AAA as they were more mobile at this time. Plus with allot of German things its hard to find docs, maps etc.

Some times you just have to draw the line between historical accuracy and getting it done this year...

Bring it on

Post 56 Sqdn to Manston for the day if you want us closer than North Weald, it'll save us a 60 mile hike.

And yes we can take some public players too.

Farber, could you share that AAA information? Sounds very interesting.

I know what you mean about bases though, squadrons were on constant rotations around the area.

@klem, sorry, wasn't trying to post you out of the way, just referencing your homedrome lol TBH I would have to check the map to find North Weald anyway - no idea!

lol, no offence taken.

North Weald is NNE of London off the M11 (its also on the CoD map). Looking down the runway I'm sure I can just see a Hurricane in the distance....

Yes here you go:

http://www.anti-aircraft.co.uk/HAA_gun_sites_map.html

Some icons are interactable and you can see the remains of the sites. A great resource. Dont forget this map is 1945! So for BoB there would be less.

Bases, red then blue:

Sorry Osprey, looks like we'll have to post you to Croydon for this one!

JG52Uther · #**158** 11-01-2011, 10:16 AM

Can't you post them north of London, that would be more convenient...

Gromic · #**159** 11-01-2011, 11:02 AM

Awesome sources guys. Thanks for sharing.

lol - don't worry Osp. I'm on it
