Campaign Command Style

[5./JG27.Farber]

Well the map spawns are done, AAA and AA placed, Radars are on.

What would be really benifically would be testing the spawns on mass.. Finding the holes in the airfields and bad spawns and placing a static on them. This would be the single best help you guys could bring.

We plan on having 8 missions in all - 1 per week.

I think the RAF should attack at some point, if someone could research some details for that I would appreciate it.

OK, we can do that I suspect, in combo with 56 to max the numbers would help. Prob need to put the maps up on your server with a server pw?

I'll have a look at a suitable RAF raid, see if there's something we can use. I'd wager it'll be a damn suicide mission lol

Sounds good, Our server is up using these spawns now, however the air missions will be different.

Suicide mission? What about when we have to fly to London?!

I had a delve into Bomber Command and there were plenty of missions. I think the most suitable would be a raid on the invasion barges. They were unescorted but I guess we'll have to escort them......:0

Maybe the best option would be a 'Fall of France' mission to start with - plenty of escorted Blenheim missions on bombing bridges behind the German lines to screw up supply. For that we'd have DH5-20 prop Hurricanes versus E-1s. It would be a slaughter but we may have the numerical advantage on the day. After week one we move to Dunkirk with Spitfires? then onto the BoB proper? Am I too late with those suggestions?

The problem with the fall of France and Dunkirk is there really isn't any room for the Germans on the map. The Germans would be over the target area instantly and the RAF wouldn't even have left England.

Send me what you have on the Bomber command stuff please and I will include it.

[5./JG27.Farber]

Still one question remains about the command style. What to include in briefs and what to tell everyone - red/blue.

With so many squads involved its not simply a case of go here... Or it will be like football when your ten - 50 boys all huddled round the ball kicking it...

Gereally for the blues its straight forward when they are attacking. Although coordination will be nessicary. The reds however will have to spead out and wait for radar and AOC call outs to guide them. We could almost do with a plotting room.... Anyone up for being Kieth Park?

I was really thinking of operating the RAF from inside France, around this date for example.



Dunkirk could follow using RAF from England trying to stop the Germans bombing the beaches and ships as the noose tightens around Dunkirk at the beginning of June.

Then you are into the BoB. This would give you the RAF attacking off English territory you are after but in keeping with history.

You can easily use hud messaging to get people into the right place with no need for a briefing telling them what to do, and that way you can avoid giving out too much information in advance and having them spread out all over the place.

Can we have a chat on comms? How can I get hold of you? I'm on our TS3 on Sunday evening, 85.236.100.27:24637 It'll be easier to just talk about it and then you'd get a better idea.
