Battle of Britain 70th reenactment game event

[Frantish]

The game I play is organizing a 70th reenactment of the famous event.

I posted in the game section, way, way, way, way down the list, so I post here becuase it is a little more visible.

I hope its OK.

The event was smashing!

We had about 80 players join in and keep the memory of the historic event alive!
It went to well the first time, most of the players wanted to do it again, which we did 3 hours later!

The plan has the LW outnumber the RAF in escorts, and 19 He-111's on top of that. Almost the 3 to 1 odds the RAF faced. The mix of fighters on both sides where as equal as I could research out.
The results of both flights was very similar to the real BoB, LW bombers did hit targets, but suffered more casualties then the RAF. Granted this was a virtual game, it is interesting with he similarities.


Folkstone was the launch sight of all the Hurricane I's and 2 Blen I's (Spitfire Ia launched from Eastchurch)

The LW formed up in Vlissingen and Cambrai.

Enroute

First casualties (I am flying He-111, was damaged by Spitfire, engines smoking)

Later on a Hurricane took off my wing

In the second mission, once again I was in big trouble

Oh, one of the players made a convincing combat report.
