QuoteGibson, worried that the formations were becoming too spread out pulled up to 300 ft and fired off a Very Light.  Other flight leaders followed suit and the formations tightened up as they lumbered towards the Frisian Islands at wave-top height.


All three formations are in good order and move into the North Sea zone. 

Bartheart, there are two hazards.  You have to spread them out as evenly as possible so assign one to each wave.  Wave leaders with a hazard will then assign it to one bomber in their flight.





Barthheart

Well... let's spread them out then. One for my wave and one fer Stagger's.

AJ-P takes the hit fer my wave.


Staggerwing

AJ-J for Johnny takes one for the team.

QuoteAs the flight slipped eastwards towards the Rhine, Flight Lt. Martin in P for Popsie began to feel some sloppiness in the control column and send Fg. Officer Chambers back for an inspection.  Chambers found a leak in the hydraulic lines to the elevators.  The leak was quickly patched but the loss of fluid meant a loss of fine control.


Bart, bomber P for Popsie suffers faulty controls and will draw 1 less altitude chit than normal during bombing runs.

QuoteAs AJ-A, the lead bomber in the 2nd wave, began to make its turn towards the Dutch Coast, Sgt. Nicholson, the navigator on AJ-J, used the signalling lamp in the sighting dome to send a Morse message to the navigator on AJ-A to inform him that according to Nicholson's calculations, they were making their turn too early.  The navigator aboard AJ-A was convinced his calculations were correct and they were making the turn on time.  The confusion would plague the flight throughout the mission.

Stagger, the navigator on AJ-J has suffered a map reading error.  Any nav checks this bomber makes (or any nav checks the wave makes while this bomber is in the formation) will take a penalty.


Silent Disapproval Robot

That's turn two over.

As all three formations start turn three in good order, there's no need to conduct a formation check.  On the move phase, all three waves cross into the Dutch Coast zone.




Each wave needs to make a navigation check.  Bart and UCG, you need a 6 or better on 2D6.  Staggerwing, you'll need a 7 or better.

Once that's done, it's hazard time.  Things are about to get tense.




Barthheart

Ok Navigator, tell me we're on the proper course for now. I can see a coastline... who's is it?

Nav: "That's the Dutch coast sir and we're right on course."

Gibson: "Good show. Keep your eyes open now, Gerry will be looking for us."


(Does that zone say we'll be getting at least 6 hazards?!?)  :o

6?  No, that would be ludicrous.




*You'll be getting 7.
