B-17 #18 – Fooooo Fighters Pilot NaptownChief (13) Copilot Tommykat (13) Bombardier kcnut (1) Navigator Adam (13) Engineer Amnorix (13) Radio Op. KC Kings (13) Tail Gunner el borracho (13) Ball Turret Gunner NewChief (13) Right Waist Gunner mlyonsd (2) Left Waist Gunner Otter (1) Target: Brest, France Mid-formation horizontally, low vertically (low vulnerability) Distance: 6 zones Zone 1 Out: Britain No enemy Zone 2 Out: English Channel No enemy Zone 3 Out: Western Channel No enemy Zone 4 Out: Western Channel No enemy Zone 5 Out: Western Channel – out of fighter range No enemy Zone 6 Out: France (Entering Target Zone) 1 Fw190, 1 Me110 attack El borracho fires, misses Amnorix fires, misses Kcnut fires, damages Fw190 Fw misses, breaks off attack Me misses, breaks off attack 3 Me109s attack Kcnut fires, misses Adam fires, hits Me109 Amnorix fires, misses El borracho fires, misses NewChief fires, misses 1 Me misses, breaks off attack Me scores 1 hit -superficial damage to tail Me scores 2 hits -port wing – the #1 engine is hit and races out of control. -superficial damage to port wing tommykat cuts power to the engine, but it’s not completely successful. The engine slows to an idle, but continues to turn the propeller. The resulting drag slows down Fooooo Fighter drastically, and the plane starts falling back in the formation. 2 Mes circle, attack again Kcnut fires, misses El borracho fires, misses Me scores 2 hits -pilot compartment – amnorix takes a light wound to the right shoulder -tail – autopilot out. Naptown chief will have to pilot the plane manually through the bomb run. Me misses, breaks off attack Me circles, attacks again Kcnut fires, damages Me109 Amnorix fires, misses Me scores 1 hit -superficial damage to pilot compartment Me breaks off attack The crippled Fooooo Fighter reaches the target a bit late, at the very rear of the formation and still falling back. With no autopilot, Naptown Chief does the best he can to put the plane over the target area without movement. Entering Bomb Zone Bad Weather – Heavy clouds Medium Flak - misses Kcnut does a great job of planting the mission’s final bombs on target – 30% score As the plane turns to go home, the other bombers have now moved ahead and are pulling away. Fooooo Fighters will attempt to get home alone. The plane will be a sitting duck until they can get fighter cover. Zone 6 Back: France (Leaving Target Zone) 6 Fw190s attack Kcnut fires, misses Adam fires, misses KC Kings fires, misses El borracho fires, damages Fw190 NewChief fires, kills Fw190 Otter fires, kills Fw190 Damaged Fw misses, breaks off attack 2 Fws miss Fw scores 3 hits -superficial damage to tail -superficial damage to waist -bomb bay – no effect 3 Fws circle, attack again since the B-17 is alone. Otter fires, damages Fw190 Amnorix fires, kills Fw190 Adam fires, misses Damaged Fw misses, breaks off attack Fw scores 2 hits -superficial damage to pilot compartment -superficial damage to pilot compartment Fw circles, attacks again Kcnut fires, misses Adam fires, misses El borracho fires, damages Fw190 Fw misses, breaks off attack 1 Me109 attacks KC Kings fires, damages Me109 Amnorix fires, misses M e scores 1 hit -superficial damage to starboard wing Me breaks off attack 2 Me109s, 1 Me110 attack Amnorix fires, kills Me109 Kcnut fires, misses Adam fires, kills Me110 El borracho fires, misses Me scores 1 hit -superficial damage to bomb bay Me circles, attacks again El borracho fires, misses Amnorix fires, misses Me misses, attacks again Kcnut fires, hits Me109 Amnorix fires, misses El borracho fires, misses 4 Fw190s attack Kcnut fires, misses Adam fires, misses Amnorix fires, hits Fw190 El borracho fires, misses Mlyonsd fires, misses 3 Fws miss, circle to attack again Fw scores 1 hir -nose – kcnut takes a serious wound to the back of the head, and drops unconscious. Fw circles to attack again Adam fires, damages Fw190 Amnorix fires, misses Otter fires, misses KC Kings fires, misses Amnorix calls out that he’s low on ammunition, but no one can bring him more. 3 Fws miss, circle to attack again Damaged Fw scores 2 hits -superficial damage to pilot compartment -superficial damage to radio room Damaged Fw breaks off attack Adam fires, misses Amnorix fires, kills Fw190 El borracho fires, damages Fw190 3 Fws miss, break off attack Zone 5: Western Channel 2 Me109s attack Adam fires, hits Me109 Mlyonsd fires, hits Me109 2 Mes miss, circle to attack again Otter fires, misses El borracho fires, hits Me109 Adam fires, misses Me misses, breaks off attack Me misses, circles to attack again Amnorix fires, hits Me109 El borracho fires, misses Me misses, breaks off attack Zone 4: Western Channel – back in fighter cover In response to KC Kings’ frantic calls, a squadron of Spitfires appears and moves into position to escort the slowed Fooooo Fighters home 4 Me110s attack, 3 are driven off by fighters Otter fires, hits Me110 Me scores 2 hits -starboard wing – landing gear brake is out -pilot compartment – amnorix takes a light wound to the right knee Me circles, attacks again Adam fires, misses NewChief fires, damages Me110 Me misses, breaks off attack Zone 3: Western Channel No enemy Zone 2: English Channel 3 Me110s attack NewChief fires, misses Amnorix fires, hits Me110 El borracho fires, misses 3 Mes miss, circle to attack again KC Kings fires, misses Mlyonsd fires, misses Amnorix fires, misses Adam fires, misses 3 Mes miss, circle to attack again el borracho fires, misses otter fires, misses newchief fires, misses amnorix fires, misses 3 Mes miss, break off attack Zone 1: England Poor weather – cloud cover Naptown Chief brings Fooooo Fighter to a safe landing, and he and tommykat struggle at the controls as the pesky #1 engine won’t shut down. With no landing gear brake on one side, they also can’t stop the plane, and it rolls down the length of the runway and crashes into a large barricade of tires. The crew bails out (other than the injured kcnut), but the fire crew arrives and ensures that there is no risk of fire. Fooooo Fighters will live to fight another day. Aftereffects Kcnut is sent home, with the part of his brain responsible for language severely damaged. Eligible for next mission Pilot NaptownChief (13) Copilot Tommykat (13) Bombardier Adam (13), promoted Navigator Amnorix (13) , promoted Engineer KC Kings (13) , promoted Radio Op. el borracho (13) , promoted Tail Gunner NewChief (13) , promoted Ball Turret Gunner mlyonsd (2) , promoted Right Waist Gunner Otter (1) , promoted Left Waist Gunner XXX It seemed like they’d never get out of Brest.

Made you look.
Actually, I may have more time in the coming months. I've got two new employees, which is long overdue.
