sitting back in the High Command Chato after the day's missions, was thinking, that the reports from the raids into Group 10 area, were disappointing

and while, you should always support strength when you can, and to keep to the main focus during a battle, I have decided to shift forces

JG 3 has been ordered to Beast, JG 2 will head towards Morlax

ZG 26 and 76 may soon follow (that will free up some of the Fighter Gruppen for hunts)

10 Group is not the close in target rich area that 11 Group is, but it still has some good major targets

but to get to them, RAF has to be knocked down or weaken in the area

this also will give me a chance to set up two buzzsaws, the RAF does not want to lay down and die a peaceful death, it plans on going down kicking and screaming

I also got a pretty good jump in the 1st four turns, I think I can spend a week-10 days on working on the RAF

(this has to be watched closely, focus too much on the fighers, and you lose the battle to lack of damage, spend all of your resourses on damage and the fighters wear you out)

so with that in mind, day 5 is partly a Hoiliday, most units are given the day off

with a few raids sent out, to keep the RAF on there toes

lol, interesting, put up some 8-900 planes and that is giving them the day off !!!


but does not look like the RAF is going to follow suit, 800 fighters are up in the air and my raids have not taken off yet !

but so far, I am doing well, but the masses are not in place yet

wow, looks like at least 27 squadrons on patrol in 10 Group

I may have to shift JG 51 over too !!!

oddly, turned out to be a pretty good day, overall, I think the RAF came up too fast, too soon, we were in fuel trouble once they got close enough to engage

here is a backdoor sweep that should of worked, but, oddly, they did nothing, didn't even reach the coast, must of dropped tanks when they got close to enemy fighters, then went to full burn and used up there fuel, and then turned for home

of course, the "bad" idea part was it was JG 77 (Bf 109E4) the idea was to get in, hit and get out, with 2 Gruppen from JG 2 giving protection, the 4 don't have much range, and this time it showed up

FOW and all, but would be nice if the numbers were real !!!!

then did good, but nowhere near that good !

lol, what a dummy, I moved a Ju 86 recon section over, and then send out a mission at 35000, which the RAF can reach, got one shot down and the other damaged and turned back

so, still don't know what the damage to the target is !!!

the hunters

the hunters

the masters

of course, since this is my simi AAR, I not showing the guys who got popped on the chin

JG 2 has made the move, tomorrow the ZG will do some moving, then the next day, the campaign Fish and Chips will begin

seen 3 squadrons of Kitties in the air and one of Matlets, so the RAF is starting to shift forces around, damage and losses on the frontlines are starting to get heavy

sooo, Luft 3 get a couple of days off, Luft 2 will depend on weather, the CRI (?) gets some more night missions

think it may be time for Luft 5 to get to work, the RAF in the north should need rest

I had my bad day, the RAF had there, so we even

forces are being shifted, plans are in place, now to wait for them to go into action

DANG, the RAF is sleeping, my decoy and sneak gets off and to target and back before the RAF can react (of course, I miss the target because of weather, but alot of fighters were wasted for a nothing raid)

of course, if the RAF was slow in reacting, that is going to mean, they are still going to be in place for the follow up guys

ahhh, crudwell

smaller raids give my boys some rest, and refit, but also, works the same for the enemy, in two days, they going to need all the rest that can get

okay, target damage report start of day 7

and the raids

Oper fish and chips begins

Fish and Chips in action

of course, could of used some better bombing !, but overall, happy with it

I counted at least 12 Squadrons that reacted, with FOW in the reports, it is HARD to tell what really happened, where

my IT's show some 65 kills for the day (yea right) but they did get a couple
