Boy talk about a bad day

[Hard Sarge]

damage report end of day 8, need better recon, those numbers would be a little better with some recon, but overall, they not looking too good

[Hard Sarge]

but would hazzard a guess and say they are starting to hurt for gas

[Hard Sarge]

now this is something you won't see too often, even with the slaughter of the first day added in

[Hard Sarge]

one thing that is helping, I think I have taken most of the Spit V Squadrons out of the fight, they are not losing many, but I have damaged and hassled them, so they keep moving around, the V in 1941 is nasty (in 42 it is going to be a dog)

[Hard Sarge]

and the summery page at the end of day 8

[Hard Sarge]

day 9 was only a few night raids and recon, to find out damage from the night and some more reordering of my forces

day 10 was a day of rest, my bombers are pretty worn out

and of course, as is normal, day 11 is a bad weather day, my forces are up and ready, but I have given the RAF some rest too

the next day is going to be bloody

[Hard Sarge]

day 12 is going to be a massive day, going for the kill, but, the weather may totally screw things up, not the best of days, not the worst either, so shaky

[Hard Sarge]

the raids for 11 group

[Hard Sarge]

and the raids for 10 group

from the list of raids, you may see I am doing some gambling, even more so, since the RAF has had some rest and has lots of planes to use

goal is to get SD up high enough that I can end the battle with Terror on the 13th

but, remember, that is the goal

[Hard Sarge]

wow, that is about the highest Radio Chatter report I have seen !

surprising the RAF was slow off the mark

[Hard Sarge]

which this could be part of the reason for the slow reaction, cloud base is much worse then I expected, maybe would of been better for another day of delay ???

[Hard Sarge]

clouds over target are bad, clouds over base is worse, even more so, when everything works on timing, a minute off here or there, you may get by with, but more then that, and what should of been clear skies are full of bad guys

oh boy, that is the raid that two Gruppen of It fighters are flying with, alongs with all of my unprotected Stukas !!!!!

[Hard Sarge]

2nd wave is not up yet, one reason the radio chatter is still so high

and I can say, I didn't have enough planes to do what I wanted to do

[Hard Sarge]

this is a Big Day

not even 0700 yet and over 3100 GE, close to 700 RAF in the air

and on that note, I got to stop for a bit, got some things to do

man odd, the house is totally quiet besides the computer/music, normally got so much other stuff running in the back ground, it don't seem right, my Dog even perked up, when the last thing shut down

[Hard Sarge]

okay, first off, I had to leave the computer, and make dinner, so don't know how the turn ended up the way it did, in fact, when I left, I was kicking, come back and got my butt handed to me !!!

(weather, delay and Stukas look like a major source, and those clouds will make a lot of plane crash on the trip home

so, hind sight and all, should of waited

but my boy did there job, and got my main goal

tomorrow night, the fires of hell will come to the English cities, until they wise up and give up the fight

[Hard Sarge]

damage report end of day 12

[Hard Sarge]

the leader board for the LW and friends

[Hard Sarge]

Summery page, took it on the chin, but got the job done

[Hard Sarge]

and yeap, losses for the ground attack and Stuka units was kind of high

[D.Ilse]

ah, KG 76....later..well much later to get the Ar 234s.
