AAR: ODAX 2004

[TonyE]

Taitennak, CV32, and myself just got back from ODAX 2004 by François
Guérin for DB2k.

CV32 commanded the French Air Force.

Taitennak has the Navy, and I had the other guys.

My approach was to do some gaining of air superiority with my Mirage 2000C craft. CV32 showed me in short order that the odds were not in my favor, as I was losing about 3 aircraft for each one of his I shot down. Undaunted I sent out my early strikes after 30 minutes or so and got some nice hits in the South of France. However, CV32 downed a whole strike force since I didn't have any AAW assets to cover the strikers on return to base. Luckily Taitennakshowed up with his dandy Rafales and saved my second strike group.

Taitennak had some successful coastal strikes and continued wiping the skies with his Rafales while I huddled in a corner and lured what battles I could into advantageous positions. A couple of hours into the game I found myself with only a couple AAW Mirage 2000s left alive (they were re-arming) but a number of strikers. I sent them up North and in combination with Taitennak's Rafales had some success in downing more of Brad's craft.

Before my large strike arrived up North, CV32 called an end of game, having no more tenable defense. This was another fun scenario, three players was certainly more enjoyable than two, so head on over to HarpGamer IRC and see if anyone is up for a battle (there hasn't been much traffic...).
