BoB 41 AAR HS vs Dixie new OOB replacement AAR

[Hard Sarge]

well, not disappointed, but could of been better

picked up a point of AS,SD and Terror !

so 4-2-5

of course, the next day is another weather day, so may lose a couple of those points


the results of the raids

Recon shows it was Leeds I hit decent, almost no damage to the City I thought I hit !

[Hard Sarge]

the target page, since it is growing

[Hard Sarge]

I was surprised, Dixie didn't shift his forces around as much as I thought he would of, of course, will be guessing again, once the weather clears (really need two or more days in a row of good weather)

losses

[Hard Sarge]

my FBs are hitting good, but not great

my bombers are only doing so-so, my fighters can't hit the side of a barn, but at least, neither can his

Summery screen

[Hard Sarge]

lets see, on day 4, I got more bad weather, so sent out two recon birds at high alt, to see what I did the night before, and give the troops the day off

Day five looks to be a bright and sunny day, so time to go for a joy ride over the Englanders home

I think Dixie is getting used to me trying to swarm his defence, so today, I will spread it out some

first the flank, in 10 Group will get hit (I don't really think he has much left in this area, so will let my swarty friends do some work, once they are finished, I will let the RAF have a spot tea before I come back

then the middle will be hit (trying for the AFAC's I missed the last time out)

some more rest and then a short quick raid to one of the ports (which the idea is to draw attention away from one of my Boddecker raids, and then, some more rest

then it is 11 Groups turn, going into the center to try for those two pesky CFAC sites, hopefully 3rd time is the charm, I got other things I want to hit

and, some more rest

then back to 11 Group, and hitting to the south of London, try to set some oil fields on fire

then it should be close to night fall, hitting more Ports, one raid from Brest, and the other from Norway, not really heavy on the intruders, I let the AI plot them, as I don't know where his night stuff is at (I know where it was at, but not sure where it is at now !)

okay so, here is the damage screen, not sure if it has changed much since the last one, but it has the newer Intell

[Hard Sarge]

and the summery screen, showing we both pretty much at full strength, and that the repair has not kicked in, too badly yet

[Hard Sarge]

the issue is, for me to knock out the RAF, it needs to fly, if he keeps back, or don't take off, I can't knock them down, of course, it works the other way around, also, the more he gets into the air, the more chances he has of knocking me down

a fine line, I want to see some 1100-1500 mission flown by the RAF today, but, I want most of them spent, chasing there tail (not mine)

okay, the plots to the left

[Hard Sarge]

and the plots to the middle and right

[Hard Sarge]

I took those first, to try and keep the recon from confusing too much, as it is, I show the intruders and they fly odd paths

[Hard Sarge]

and finally, the raids and timing for today

[Hard Sarge]

okay , lets see how many are paying attention, here is a sneak peek of something going on in the background (not for EDtBTR

[Hard Sarge]

okay, back to the battle

overall, pretty happy with the day, my guys can't land too well, but other then that, not much to complain about, other then I didn't shoot the RAF out of the sky

damage to the targets for today

[Hard Sarge]

that screen looks good, hassle is, some of those targets are the 2nd or 3rd time I have attacked them !

target list

now that is starting to look better

[Hard Sarge]

from notes, I have knocked out I think 9 frames a day and now at least 16 parts a day

which over all sounds good, but...

from my weak Intel, I still show the RAF getting 24 frames a day (plus two I do not know the size of) and they should be getting 23 Parts a day (again with 2 sites I don't know the size of)

(now, I could always cheat and look at the OOB, since I made it, but that is not how I play, so unless I gain some intel with recon, I not going to know)

now, the trick is, how many frames and parts are being made, that are what Dixie wants or needs ?????

but, since he is not losing all that many planes, by the time the replacement factories come on line, he should still have decent numbers in stock

hmmm, and speaking of losses, here is the loss page for this day

[Hard Sarge]

(oodly, most of those Spit Vs were knocked out by my E-4s ?)

not sure why I took this snap, but, ahhhh, yea that is right, I was trying to get a snap of the Winds knocking down 3 He 111s in one pass !!!!)

but missed the message

[Hard Sarge]

this is the summery

score is 4-3-5, so gained a point of SD

(hmmmm, pretty good turn, for only 1 point !!!)

[Hard Sarge]

and of course, as this battle has been going so far, the next day is another weather day

I really need two or three days in a row of decent weather, heck lousy weather with some clear spots would do !!!

what if they gave a war and nobody showed up !

here is a shot of southern England, looks pretty to me !

[Hard Sarge]

Dixie is a dog, shoot down my lowly Recon Bird !!!

bully

oh well, looks like I get a little better weather today, so, it is off to the races

here are the raids, going deep this time, if it works I hope to cripple his Alum industry

the important part here is the timing

[Hard Sarge]

the plotting will look a little strange

[Hard Sarge]

I will wait till next turn to show the Summery and target page, not really much change from the last one posted
