Eagle Day Full

Scenario Eagle Day Full Campaign

Turn 1
8/12/40

West

All I am trying to do on my turn one west is push back British air defence. So, I want to bring down the three large Chain Home Radars. I am using KG54 twice because they have JU88s. No Stukas on turn one. They are too vulnerable to use when the British have such big eyes. All the west raids are heavily escorted except Kgr 100 who is making a shuttle run east.

*Recon Missions will not be displayed.

Turn 1

Two short cross channel raids. The Port of Dover raid has JG54 waiting in ambush for British fighters.

Don´t know what happened at the Ventnor Radar Station but seemed a good game start.

Attacking Ventnor Radar Station again with a few other attacks.

Turn 2
8/13/40

East



Pushing a little deeper into British territory. Continuing to test the defensive fighter screen for returning bombers.

[Ike99]

Turn 2
8/13/40

Air Results

JG52 got a late start on takeoff because of bad weather so their fighter screen was late on setup.

Turn 2
8/13/40

Ground Results

Maidstone Power was completely missed. It seems despite large bomber numbers you can still miss a target completely.

Bomber pursuing British fighters went directly into JG51 on fighter patrol.

Turn 3
8/14/40

Ground Results

The cloud cover was less of a problem than I thought it was going to be. The Rye Radar Station raid was a target of opportunity.

[Ike99]

Turn 4
8/15/40

The Stuka is being sent into action.

[Ike99]

Turn 4
8/15/40

Ground Results

An impressive deep strike against the Aero Engines LTD. We will start to open up deeper raids.

[Ike99]

Turn 4
8/15/40

Air Results

The Stukas over Weymouth Dockyards were cut to pieces. [:@]
The Stukas are going to be used very conservative from now on. Too vulnerable. I think things are going very well though. I think anything close to a 1-1 air loss ratio is very bad news for Britain. Not sure, haven´t played the campaign out yet. This is the first time.

Turn 5
8/16/40

The targets.

[Ike99]

Turn 5
8/16/40

Ground Results

No complaints. There was a high cloud ceiling at 8,100ft. My raids usually fly at 7,000 so perfect conditions.

[Ike99]

Turn 5
8/16/40

Air Results

I´m not happy with the 1-3 aircraft loss ratio this turn. [:-]

The BP Tilbury Oil Center is always to be a tough, tough target. Eleven JU88s [:(], so I am happy they were able to do a lot of damage and don´t have to go back fo some time. [:D]

[Ike99]

Turn 6
8/17/40

The targets.

Deep raid close to Hawker Brooklands aircraft factory with mass fighter support for protection.

[Ike99]

Turn 6
8/17/40

Ground Results

The Hawker Brooklands raid gave very poor results. I was hoping to destroy it as it has a large factory capacity. Too many enemy fighters.

Suprisingly high losses in the Pobjoy Aero Works raid mostly from Flak guns.
