Mission #1 - Page 11

**Rain Man** · 04:08 PM

...and the planes begin their takeoff roll!

I've only completed the first plane so far, but will do a bunch of them this weekend. Talisman has graciously agreed to assist with portions of the paperwork (pause for round of applause), so either he or I will be posting the other planes as they fly. I expect to finish many of them this weekend.

A note for you gunners:

1. If you "hit" an enemy plane, it means that you caused damage that will affect its attack ability, but not enough to make it break off and leave.

2. If you "damage" an enemy plane, it means that you caused enough damage that the plane will leave as soon as it makes one run at you, but you also severely affected its ability to hit your plane.

3. If you "kill" an enemy plane, it's a confirmed shootdown and you can paint a swastika on your flight jacket.

Ready? The Tequila Rose is cruising toward the first U.S. bombing mission in Occupied France.

Wow.

Slayer dead and Bearcat wounded. I suggest we send a group of about a dozen soldiers to go search for their remaining brother to get him out before he gets hurt. The Secretary doesn't want to write another letter to their mom.

If alamn hadn't been carressing Bearcats bunions, he wouldn't have been wounded.

What a marksmanship display there, fellas. Redneckraider barely broke up the no-hitter.

Hydrae · 01-24-2004, 08:37 PM

I am impressed though. Cannibal loses half his thumb but keeps on shooting at the enemy! He should be put in for a medal for that show of courage!

so you are ready for our first time together

Zebedee DuBois · 01-24-2004, 08:42 PM

I don't think the thumb is the finger he uses the most anyway.

Wait.. that is kinda tragic. Without an opposable thumb, he won't be able to grasp his favorite things.

Um, you do realize that you're on a replacement crew right now, rednfeisty? Morphius' threats to kill lazarus have drawn attention.

Maybe morphius can tape a picture of you to the copilot's yoke until you can actually get on board.
