Mission 6: It's not just France any more.

**Rain Man** · 02-14-2004, 12:19 PM

As soon as the results of Mission 5 are sorted out, the 15 surviving intrepid planes of the Chiefsplanet Bomber Group will head out on Mission 6, having completed 20 percent of their service obligation.

The targets are evolving, though. The nearby fighter base at St. Omer is no longer on the list, having been transferred to newer crews. The same with the somewhat isolated western airbase at Cherbourg and the railyards at Amiens.

The crews will draw one of six missions on Flights 6-10, three of which remain familiar:

1. The aircraft parts plant in the inland town of Meaulte in north-central Occupied France. Distance: 3 zones. Zone 1 is over England, Zone 2 is over the Channel, and Zone 3 is over France. German fighter defenses are low in the English channel and high in the target zone.

2. The heavily defended key fighter airstrip just inland from the coastal town of Abbeville in northeast France. Distance: 3 zones. Zone 1 is over England, Zone 2 is over the Channel, and Zone 3 is over France. German fighter defenses are low in the English channel and extremely high in the target zone.

3. The munitions plant in the inland town of Lille, on the border with Belgium. Distance: 3 zones. Zone 1 is over England, Zone 2 is over the Channel, and Zone 3 is over France. German fighter defenses are low in the English channel and high in the target zone.

You will now add three new sites:

4. The shipyard at Rotterdam, Netherlands, on the westernmost coast of the Netherlands. Distance: 4 zones. Zone 1 is over England, Zone 2 is over the Channel, Zone 3 is over the North Sea, and Zone 4 is over both the North Sea and Netherlands. German fighter defenses are low in the English channel, moderate in the North Sea, and high in the target zone.

5. An engine factory in Antwerp, Belgium, in north Belgium on the border with the Netherlands. Distance: 4 zones. Zone 1 is over England, Zone 2 is over the Channel, Zone 3 is over Belgium, and Zone 4 is over Belgium. German fighter defenses are low in the English channel, moderate in Belgium, and high in the target zone.

6. A key railyard in Rouen, France, in the western part of the country. This site is along the coast, but is further south than your old target of Cherbourg. Distance: 4 zones. Zone 1 is over England, Zone 2 is over the Channel, Zone 3 is over the western Channel, and Zone 4 is over France. German fighter defenses are low in the English channel, moderate in the western Channel, and high in the target zone.

Flak at all six sites is variable. None of these sites is a priority for flak guns, though you may run into heavy flak on occasion. The good news is that you will still have fighter cover throughout your entire mission.* All three new mission sites are at the extreme edge of Allied fighter cover, but are still there.

* Game note: I misspoke earlier when I wrote that fighter cover stopped at Zone 3. It actually goes to Zone 4.

Can't fly with the flu. If you flew with the flu, would you fly true.

Technically, this is a knee-jerk reaction with Fat Elvis having more insulation on his frame than allowed by law. Especially if this is Fat Elvis circa '75.

That had to be the most boring mission yet. 4 shots by the bomber boys, all misses. 2 shots by the enemy, all misses. 0% on the bombing. Sounds like they slept through the whole thing! LOL
