24th May 1940
Gentlemen
The enemy advance has been swift and relentless, their tanks covering great distance at speed and sewing panic to troops and civilians alike. In the air they have targeted civilians on the road and in cities.
The allies have retreated to the west . We have set up on old WW1 airfields to defend Paris.
The last major obstacle is the marne river.
They are building up forces to cross the last major obstacle before the French capital. Like in the great war we hope to hold this line, halt their advance then force a retreat.
The battles primary target will be a large enemy troop encampment with secondary supply lines to be hit Ground attack have to attack targets in 1307 1410 1508 1612
hurricanes are to provide cover. The enemy have standing air cover, patrolling at between 6000 and 10000 ft. The hurricanes are to intercept these and draw them away from the ground attack forces.
il2s will take off from bon maison and corbarieu
hurricanes from mt soisson Pierrefonds cravacan
this is a tight map but seems to work ok, airfields are rough but you can successfully take off with flaps and full power.
there will be some anomolies as I have had to use a WW1 map for this sector but hopefully wont impact on the mission
