    Default Malta Mission 8: Sneak attack by the Lufwaffe February 1941

    A simple ground attack mission for the Luftwaffe:

    Setup:
    2 Mats, 1 of which should be coastal.
    Join long edges.

    Luftwaffe:
    3 ME109's or 2 ME110's
    Enter from the long sea edge.
    Target is the runway at Luqa.
    Mission Straffe as many aircraft on the ground as possible.

    RAF:
    Scramble 2 Hurricanes/Spitfires.
    They enter from the opposite long edge to the Germans.
    Mission shoot down the enemy planes.

    Special Rules:
    1. German aircraft have 20 fuel counters.
    2. Each slow move costs 0 fuel,each fast costs 1, each climb costs 1, each 1 peg dive costs 0, 2 peg dive costs 1.
    3. Aircraft climb 1, dive 1 or 2.
    4. Place a number of aircraft cards, of varying types if you have them, around the playing area. This simulates the dispersed nature of aircraft and being placed in protective bays. (also stops an enemy lining up and taking out more than 1 aircraft with 1 attack.)
    5. Any special damage destroys a parked aircraft. Otherwise damage up to damage total to destroy.
    6. AI luftwaffe will leave the table by any edge when they drop to 5 fuel counters. Once off edge they are considered home and safe.
    7. Players Luftwaffe watch those fuel counters but like the AI leave by any table edge and you're considered safely home.
    8. Any Luftwaffe aircraft that runs out of fuel and remains on the table crashes.
    See you on the Dark Side......

    Great mission Neil.
    It could be used for virtually any time in the next few months until the Luftwaffe temporally withdraw from Malta, and then again when they return.
