Hi everyone,
As advised a couple of weeks ago I have been working on a June 1941 MP mission for the ATAG server. Its kinda/sorta based on historical activities at the time with some additions made for MP playability / fun.
I've just sent it to the script gurus to see if its all working properly. They are very busy and may not get to look at it for a while so this mission may be a few weeks away yet. And i may have to make changes if i have not done things correctly script wise or been too ambitious re the scope (its effectively 2 MP missions - a Circus MP mission and a concurrent bomber / night fighter mission for those that like heavy bombers/heavy fighters - combined into 1).
So it may take longer to finish that anticipated
To whet you appetite here's the Blue and Red mission briefs.
June 1941 Red
The RAF is now on the offensive conducting circus raids into occupied France. The night bomber war is ongoing with both sides conducting nightly attacks on a range of different targets. New aircraft variants have entered service since the BoB and the fighter fight is going ever higher as performance improves.
To win Red must score 150. Circus type targets are available in northern France and bomber type targets in the Rouen-Le Havre area. Some targets can be destroyed by strafing or single /small number of bomber payloads. Points as follows
(a) Axis shipping convoy (CQ 56) bound for Dunkirk: 10
(b) Axis convoy sheltering in the mouth of the Somme (BZ25): 10
(c) Axis desert pre-deployment camp (CK24): 30
(d) He 111s at Tramcourt preparing to head east: 30
(e) Axis fuel dump at Licques (CE38): 20
(f) Hazebrouck railyard (CM37): 30
(g) Abbeville industrial park (CC23): 30
(h) Rouen industrial complex (BR8): 40
(i) Point Audemer industrial park (BJ6): 30
(j) Creil D20 assembly factory (1 Welly bombload): 50
Spit Vbs have been placed kinda/sorta in historical location as per the Biggin Hill Wing. Canterbury has a range of other aircraft including Tomahawks which were still in-theatre in June 1941, albeit they didn't fly in the Circus raids.
June 1941 Blue
The RAF is now on the offensive conducting circus raids into occupied France. The night bomber war is ongoing with both sides conducting nightly attacks on a range of different targets. New aircraft variants have entered service since the BoB and the fighter fight is going ever higher as performance improves.
To win Blue must score 150. Tip and run jabo type targets are available in England and bomber type targets in the Salisbury - Reading area. Some targets can be destroyed by strafing or single /small number of bomber payloads. Points as follows
(a) Allied shipping convoy (BV54) heading to the Thames: 10
(b) Allied shipping convoy sheltering at Camber: 10
(c) Allied train at St Mary's Bay (BQ43): 20
(d) Allied train at Hastings: 20
(e) Allied desert pre-deployment camp (BM50): 30
(f) Reading factory (AP52): 40
(g) Salisbury Industrial Park: 30
(h) Harwell Spitfire assembly factory: 50
Bf109 bases are kinda/sorta based on historical locations of JG2 bases as per the internet with some modifications made for MP playability.
Ooops i forgot to include in the blue brief there are 3 x navigation beacons: Theville, Crepon and Fecamp
Like i said this may be a few weeks away and i may have to make changes to the above. But hopefully you can get a sense for what the mission will involve.
