BoB - Swift vs Kevin

[Rob Brennan UK]

Hi Swift , Thanks for the Great AAR , If I wasn't immersed in AE I'd be begging to Play BOB in PBEM .. Humm ,, wonder if i can create more time in the day to manage it [;)]

His Bf110 losses look horrendous , is this helping keeping his AS score a bit down ? If he had just left them in Norway and had them all operationsl might the score be more in his favour ? Seems like the 110 is behaving very historically (by being shot down in droves).

Bt looking at the industry screen do the Oil hits + refinery have any impact on your aviation fuel status ? or just there for industry scores ? Also his avionics score of 51 ? affecting A/C production at all ?

Sorry for all the questions , I'm very curios about this game indeed.

Keep up the good work defending Blighty [&o]

The Bf110 Zerstörer (heavy fighter) are an easy target for my interceptors.....but they keep getting into the way [;)] and distract my pilots from the bombers.
He can move the units away from Norway and Denmark to other A/Fs (the Germans are more flexible with moving around units from one command to another)
 
the AS score is a formula out of my primary A/F situation (of the southern FC A/Fs) my ready A/C number and the German ready A/C number.
 
fuel status - no, he would need to hit them more often, I do not know if you can manage this in BoB......in BtR you can limit the aviation fuel the German gets to certain bases with heavy attacks on the oil industry and on communication/distribution targets (FUEL; OILS; OILR, RAIL; PORT; and A/Fs....each bombing attack on them can destroy fuel)
 
His CFAC raids did hurt, several sites are out of action and have moved their production to dispersal sites, but the main problem is that I have changed the production the a better Spitfire Mark and a better Hurricane Mark, and now several sites are retooling.....but I still have a nice stock of A/C in the pool

Thanks for the speedy (no pun intended) Reply ..

This game will continue soon - real life has interfered on both sides in the last weeks...so stay tuned!

9/3/40

Luftwaffe still keeps the pressure very high.
I am able to kill many enemy A/Cs, but still Kevins seems to have enough good units to go after an AS victory.

[wernerpruckner]

nearly all of his missions go to my primary A/Fs....this has to stop!

[wernerpruckner]

The situation of my southern primary A/Fs is bad:

[wernerpruckner]

the kill: loss ratio is good - but that does not seem to stop Kevin [X(]

[wernerpruckner]

So far I have only lost 3 aces and further two are wounded:

[wernerpruckner]

And here the pride of the RAF - the Spitfire Squadrons:

9/4/40
The situation for Fighter Command is getting desperate - the Luftwaffe continues its efforts in airfield bombings

[wernerpruckner]

This turn Kevin also attacks - once again - several "nearly" operational RADAR sites and also several of my secondary A/Fs

As you can see Kevin tried to attack Wick A/F - and he got a nice response of my resting elite squadrons in Scottland

[wernerpruckner]

and here the losses - the Luftwaffe lost enough He111s to fill up 10 Gruppen so far.

[wernerpruckner]

The industrial situation looks good, only few industries are damaged (picture is from the production screen)

[wernerpruckner]

Secondary A/Fs
They now host most of Fighter Command and at the moment (this turn) it looks like Kevin will start to hit those sites too....
(picture was taken before I moved the A*C from the three damaged Rs)

[wernerpruckner]

9/5/40

Kevin has changed his tactics [X(]
I take ground losses due to sweeping and fighterbomber raids

THIS IS NOT GOOD!

here is a picture of the losses today!

[wernerpruckner]

If Kevin keeps his new tactic this picture will show many more WIA AND KIA pilots soon!

[wernerpruckner]

Here is the situation of my Hurricane units.......not so bad - but it could be better.

[wernerpruckner]

and here the Spitfire units - morale is still very high!

[wernerpruckner]

[:(] and here my primary air fields!
