RE: attacking airfields day 1

This is only for the North in Road to Leningrad, but I've been not particularly fancy in the last few games and gotten good numbers.
In my last run I got 742 on the ground, for a total 774 VVS aircraft destroyed on the first turn.
Typically only lose around 30 aircraft, mostly to operational losses, a few to flak.
A total of 4 directives, 2 cover the airfields within escort range, these are Very High priority, and then the next 2 go after the fields a little further out at High priority. Anything long range that only has bombers on it I don't even bother with. Longest ranged attack is to Riga. I don't worry about the load outs and let the computer worry about it. Only 1 strike per field unless there are a lot of planes on it - so for the north the two airfields at Alytus and Orany get 3 attacks between the two of them (I tried 4, but the 4th rarely bags anything).
