First AAR Madflava v. AI

[madflava13]

And a look at the top pilots so far...

Very, very nice.

When you send in your RCM aircraft, what's their TOT in relation to the main streams? DO you send them a little before, or right with them, or what?

Thanks,
Nate

This time I sent in several before - I tried to time it so they were knocking down radars about 20-30 minutes before the streams came in. I then did the same for the return trips. If there are any left, I'll try to throw one or two in with the stream as well. In the screenshot above, you can see their stations - 8 inidividual boxes spread throughout the area the various streams will transit. It worked pretty well, although I should have sent the Stirlings in last so the NJGs were out of fuel and returning to base. I haven't played the next turn yet, but I'm going to get recon up over Cologne ASAP to see the damage. It looks like clouds socked the continent in, so that might have to wait a day or two.

In the Med, Avalanche targeting just kicked in...

Thanks.

This is great.

Can't wait to see more!

With screenshots is you AAR much better[;)]. Nice use of RCM aircrafts.

Update coming tonight - have a turn (almost) ready to go, but work got in the way. The 8th is spreading its wings a little farther afield, with a coordinated attack on Aircraft production facilities in the Paris region. BC is headed to Wilhelmshaven. Perfect weather day in the Med is mostly wasted as my Tac bombers need time to recouperate. Screens and details to follow...

Raid list

[madflava13]

A view of the Paris targets for today's raids. The 1st Bomb Division is hitting Villacoublay CFAC, while the 3rd Bomb Div. is hitting the Hispano-Suiza EFAC. 9th AAF B-26s are sneaking in behind them to hit a CFAC just outside Paris. While the LW is hopefully distracted, B-17s are going to sneak in unescorted (FSs only) to try and hit Solvay CHEM again. (This sort of worked - they got intercepted, but it wasn't too bad.)

[madflava13]

And the track of the Wilhelmshaven BC raids. 1 and 5 Groups (Lancs) are working tonight.

[madflava13]

In the Med, the B-17s are hitting the AGIP-NAFTA OilS, with follow on raids hitting radar and area RR targets (B-25s are going after Battipaglia RR). Here's the first B-17 wave headed in as the B-25s withdraw...

[madflava13]

And the Med Spitfires getting in on the action - bad day to be an Italian fighter pilot... (This was actually part of the B-25 escort, so these shots are out of sequence to some extent).

[madflava13]

The result...

And the 9th goes in behind the 8th AAF's heavies in the Paris region...

[madflava13]

I've played a few uneventful turns over the weekend, and one I am going to post. Should be up tonight. Assuming anyone's still reading!

[cohimbra]

...of course! and if you are annoied to play with the AI and in future you want to try to
bombard a human, I'm here (also for simple training). If not...I'm continuing to read your aar!

[madflava13]

As I said, I played a few turns since I last posted. Here's the latest update. My units are all very tired, as good weather has kept the operational tempo high. As a result, I've had to use less and less raids in both theaters to avoid using units with less than 50 morale. I'm actually hoping for some bad weather to give my units a forced rest. Here's the raid list for ths turn:

[madflava13]

Here's the raids for Europe, including BC headed to Bremen (Just the RCAF units this turn in their Halifaxes).

[madflava13]

Here's the Italian theater. My units here are especially tired. As a result, only a few raids of substance.

[madflava13]

Here's the 8th and 9th AAFs going in. The B-25 raid to De Kooi was mildly successful, but really only pulled LW units out of position slightly. As a result, combat with the 8th was heavy this turn.

[madflava13]

The result...
