After Action Report:\u00a0August, 1942<\/span><\/p>\n

Target for Today: Amiens (Airfield)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bomber: Super-X (Mission #1)
\nGroup position: Low
\nBomber #: 15<\/p>\n

Good fighter cover to and from target zone.<\/p>\n

Outbound:
\nZone 1: Good weather, no complications during take off.
\nZone 2: 50% cloud cover, no German fighter resistance.
\nZone 3: Clear skies, moderate German fighter resistance, mostly driven off by fighter cover, until 2 fighters got through. \u00a0Both were shot down, 1xME 109 by Sgts Hayes and Stewart, 1xME 109 by Sgt. Martin.
\nZone 4: Clear skies, no German fighter resistance.
\nZone 5: TARGET ZONE – Clear skies,\u00a0target slightly obscured, moderate German fighter resistance, driven off by fighter cover. \u00a0Light Flak, no hits to bomber. \u00a0Bomb run was on target, 50% of target damaged.<\/p>\n

Inbound:
\nZone 5: Clear skies, heavy\u00a0German fighter resistance, driven off by fighter cover.
\nZone 4:\u00a050% cloud cover, no German fighter resistance.
\nZone 3:\u00a050% cloud cover, moderate German fighter resistance, driven off by fighter cover.
\nZone 2: 50% cloud cover, no German fighter resistance.
\nZone 1: Good weather, no complications during landing.<\/p>\n

First mission under my belt, and I gotta say, I prefer this game to B-17 Flying Fortress Leader. I think both games play rather smoothly, once you figure out the mechanics of the rules.<\/p>\n

I prefer to fly a single bomber in a group, instead of the entire group all at once. \u00a0That’s probably due to my playing B-17 Queen of the Skies for so many years. \u00a0TfT plays like an enhanced version of the original QotS game.<\/p>\n

I’ll give the single bomber game in FFL a shot.<\/p>\n

Zone 3<\/p>\n

Long: “Fighter coming in, 1:30 high!”<\/p>\n

Hayes: “There’s one on our 6, high!”<\/p>\n

Stewart: “I see him!”<\/p>\n

Stewart and Hayes opened fire, blasting the ME 109 to hell.<\/p>\n

Stewart: “Ha! \u00a0Got him!”<\/p>\n

Hayes: “No, I got him!”<\/p>\n

Stewart: “Call it a tie?”<\/p>\n

Hayes: “Yeah, okay.”<\/p>\n

Martin squeezes the trigger on his right waist gun, obliterating the remaining ME 109.<\/p>\n

Mitchell: “Hey, the kid got one!”<\/p>\n

Thompson: “Nice shooting there.”<\/p>\n

Martin: “Thanks, Chief.”<\/p>\n

Thompson: “Don’t call me ‘Chief’.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
