Pilots are getting itchy trigger fingers. Less Beer more Flying. LOL

I only have a Fighter Squadron, Jagdgeschwader 2 Staffel 3 Operating Bf 109’s from bases in Cherbourg and Normandy. So it going to be hard for me to do any bombing of ship yards unless I escort some bombers. But here is a Freie Jagd (Fighter Sweep) Mission that I have played in the past. I was thinking about doing it again with After Action Report for the Campaign. Date: September 30, 1940 Mission: Freie Jagd (Fighter Sweep) Axis Player Briefing Fly West of the Isle of Wight and engage any air targets located. Players Forces You command at least 2 Messerschmitt Bf 109’s Players Mission Seek and Destroy Allied Player Briefing Intercept incoming flight west of the Isle of Wight Players Forces You command at least 2 Spitfires or Hurricanes Players Mission Destroy incoming flight Scenario is based on this: 30 September, 1940: Shortly after noon, during a Freie Jagd mission west of the Isle of Wight, JG 2 pilots were intercepted by British fighters from 609 and 56 Sqdns. Uffz. Kurt Bühligen, of 6./JG 2, and Ltn. Franz Fiby, of 3./JG 2, claimed a Spitfire each (for Fiby the first victory since 6 June). Hptm. Helmut Wick continued to add to his score, the pair of fighters shot down on this engagement taking his total to 34, while his 'Katschmarek', Oblt. Rudolf ‘Rudi’ Pflanz, brought down a Hurricane for his 5th victory. It was probably at this engagement that Fw. Wilhelm Hermes, a 10-victory Experte from 2. Staffel, was lost, one of the four casualties suffered on this day by the ‘Richthofen’ Geschwader. — at Isle Of Wight, UK.

Thank you, I am looking forward to the fun.

Well written, I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for taking the time to present it. Looking forward to the next one.

Thank you for the responses. Happy Hunting

Question for you Maryland Guys and Girls. I understand that there is a Gaming Day coming up called the Barrage Gaming Day on September 14th. Does anyone know if they will be running any Wings of War/Wings of Glory Games at all and if anyone has attended it the pass, how was it. Thank you.
