Mission #1. They're off!
 

...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.

Rain Man note: Wow, that was an absolutely brutal maiden voyage. It was very unusual too in the number of hits the crew took relative to the plane itself. Usually the plane takes the brunt of the damage.

Dead people, please let me know if you’d like to be reincarnated and reenlist by posting your request in this thread. Rest in peace.

Thread stuck. Stop

Mission accomplished. Stop

Somebody might want to run out there and tell them they are taxiing down the service road that leads to the dump, not the runway.

The Allies are in trouble.

Dear lord! The carnage, ohhh the carnage!

I'm presuming that it was caused more by the leg flying up into the radio room.

Wow!

Losing that tail gun in the first pass really opened them up to be filleted later in the bomb run.

Ouch....

I'm liking this game already. :p

That's what happens when you take too long to name your plane... ;)

Gaz, I give your death 3 hoots!

(Sorry, but humor is the only way I can come to terms with my deep grief.)

Dibs on Gaz's Betty Grable poster!

I'd like to check out B-17 #2's pulse right now after witnessing that carnage....

You don't want to know what he used to stick that to the wall....

After witnessing the mission of B-17 #1, the following crew members of B-17 #2 have died:

RIP

It has been brought to our attention that these are suicide missions, the point of no return ?

Our crew is MIA , somewhere off base ! :hmmm:

BTW Kevin, is this some video game you are playing at home with outr names ?

It appears that we have no say so as to what happens to us ? Almost like real life ! :banghead:

GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!

And for some reason I thought the 1st mission was supposed to be a milkrun, more or less....

Anyway, that was an interesting beginning--to say the least.

It's the results of a board game that I've been playing for several years. I've been documenting missions, and this offseason we'll all relive them as aircrews.

And yep, you're just along for the ride.

Lord help me.

We're doomed!!!

You forgot to end it with an evil "Bwahahahaha."

It was a milkrun, wait until you get to the paper delivery route level...

Yeah, it was a milkrun, but it was one of those "milkman stops by to screw your wife while you're at work" type of runs.

Oh Good Grief, I always wondered what my life would be like if somebody else had control of me ........

Now I get to find out ! :deevee:


When do we fly out ? Do I have time to get air flight insurance ? Maybe I can leave something for my kids that aren't born yet, after all, we are back into the 40 's !

When's our mission????

Wow, heavy casualties. Now I see why 25 succesful runs is such a big deal!

RIP my fellow Allies! :bang: (my best attempt at a 21 gun salute)

DanT did my profession (RadioOp) proud. :toast:

Hope I can do as well, minus the face wound. I am sooo pretty.

What plane # are you? Kevin will be working them in order. He's going to try to do a few more this weekend. I think it should average out to be about 1 mission per week for each crew.

That's good, it's going to take some time to be reincarnated ....... :rolleyes:

Gaz, we hardly knew ye...
 

Follow the light, Gaz, follow the light...
 

So, uh - when can I ban noswad, chi3fs, & Gaz?

Keep F*ing doubting the dead guy...
 

You can just change Gaz's name to "Gazombie"

Gaz....I must inform you that eating brains or spinal tissue puts you at risk of contracting bovine spongiform encephalopathy commonly known as mad cow disease

Send more paramedics...
 

There is no question.

Look here Capt Caveman.....I know the "don't ask don't tell" policy is in effect, but if you try to Eat any of Iowanian's meat....that shrapnel and fall from the sky are going to feel like a massage in comparison.

Milk run, other than that unfortunate piece of shrapnel in kcnut's lung.

kcnut, if you'd like to get on a replacement crew, post in this thread.

Those bastards, killing innocent kids minding their business in a city park...

We had some last second intel which indicated Osama Bin Laden's Mother was in that park and we just saved the entire world a shitload of trouble.

Yeah, you forever put an end to the dreaded "Al-Quilta" terror ring. Way to go.

I blame our navigator
:banghead:


BTW,did Dreamsicle hit anything with it's bombs?

DAMN... heal fast kcnut.

I'm guessing that Phobia probably talked so much that the navigator couldn't concentrate, plus expecting a Raider fan to concentrate for more then 3 seconds just shows a poor sign of leadership.

He was probably running behind him waving his arms and yelling...or throwing something.

Actually, I brought a hooker aboard and I was, uh, busy. Blame it on her, not me.

It looks like KCwolfman has to write a sad letter to bearcat.

Oops! I'll make the correction. Dreamsicle scored 5%, destroying a vital guard shack near the plant.

Bummer. But, look on the bright side. At least you'll be able to have an open casket funeral now.

You were saying?

Hey, we made it back....... do we get frequent flyer miles ?

In the even that our pilot dies and our co-pilot somehow steers off-course, get lost and we go MIA, I want to re-up!

C'mon now. What are the odds of your copilot steering off course?

What are the odds of our co-pilot getting stuck head down behind a washer and dryer????

So…everyone within ten feet of frazod gets torched and he walks away unscathed. Lucky or good?

Rain Man, does the copilot get to do anything cool besides bug the pilot and die? Can you at least let me flip the bird to any fallen enemy craft or something?

I am curious as to how a bullet can fly through the cockpit, miss Frazod and hit Jamie who is like a fourth Fraz's size? That must be some real bad luck!

Jamie was a good kid, went way before his time. We will miss him (well everyone except Fraz who was getting sick of Jamie trying to tell him how to fly).


:)

Nah, you're pretty much there to shield the pilot's right side from shrapnel. If he gets killed, you get to land the plane, though. That's cool, isn't it?

Eek, another co-pilot gone. I think I best be coming up with some kind of fak.. I mean, I have a hip injury. Ouch!

Easy, the pilot brought along a bulletproof doily... remember what plane this is.

Just like delivering a pizza.

The weather was fine. There was no flak. And we hit nothing. Well, nothing we were supposed to.

ENDelt shouldn't have brought that case of beer along for "good luck." He's lucky he didn't get pulled over for FUI.

At least your pilot's not named "Special Ed". I'll be writing my last will and testament...

If my pizza delivery guy brought me only 20% of my pizza, I'd be pissed.
