What i thought i would do with this topic, is show you the campaign I'm currently involved with. I'm not planning on going into detail of how each mission when, more of a mission breif, and few photos and the overall outcome. (Spelling is not my strong point, so please bear with me!!!!)
I'm playing the Germans, and my mate is playing the British. Both sides have 3 fighters, but 4 diffent type of fighter aircraft, and they all start off with there most basic type. For example, my mate has 3 rookie pilots, and they all start off in the Mk1 Spitfire. After one of his pilots get 5 kills, he gets a skill and the next type of fighter aircraft, in this case the Hurricane Mk1. After his next 5 kills (Now total of 10), he gets another skill and the 3rd type of fighter aircraft. If he die's, he's dead. If he gets shot down, theres a good chance he'll survive unless he gets captured.......in which case for him, the war is over. If my mate has a pilot killed or captured, gets a new rookie posted into his squadron, to take him up to 3 pilots.
Mission 1 (Bomber Rescue)
After a roll of the dice, it was decided at i was doing the Bomber Rescue mission. One of my bombers (HE 111) was limping its way back from a bombing raid and it gets jumped on by 3 fighters (My mates 3 Rokkie Spitfire Mk 1's). The British mission is to distroy the German bomber. The German mission is to get the bomber from its starting point (By the British side of the table), and fly it off the German side. After turn 2, the Germans can scramble 3 fighters (My rookie BF 109 E3's) To intersept the British and protect the Bomber.
Here you can see the Spits getting the drop in the HE 111.
My BF 109 fly on, split S and get in behind the spirtfires. A glorious photo for the Luftwaffen, as i've just taken one of the Spits out.
With my bomber safely off the table, my 109s have a bit of fun and mop up the Spits.
I won this mission, which was unusual for me and somewhere along the line i normaly pull out a few explosions.
I ended up winning the mission and still having 3 109s and the HE 111 flying. My mate however, lost all 3 of his Spits.
