WW2 Campaigns Macro Groups: Western Theater of Operations (WTO).

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Would anyone interested in taking part in the WTO part of the WW2 Campaigns Macro Groups please indicate in this thread their intention to take part and which side ALLIED or AXIS.

[calm]

As the commander of the Tomato Wing, I must serve for the Axis forces.

But I am not against playing some scenarios for the British, too, to try to smash thoose damn tomatoes :D

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

That's the spirit Carlos. Are you OK with a squadron of 12? Of course not all will fly at the same time but it gives room for progression and replacements are mainly there to begin with. I'll re-post the rules that blackronin devised for Midway and you'll see how it goes.

Neil

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Just so everyone is playing on the same sheet I propose the following to save back tracking/time traveling pilots and enables players to play in all areas of the WTO.

I will co-ordinate a spreadsheet record like the OTT campaigns.

Once we have a specific list of players I will ask for volunteers for scenario's. I will post the first 2-3 to kick start the campaign.

General scenarios - that can be played during all the war, in all theatres. Dogfights, bomb runs, interceptions, target attacks, etc.
Specific scenarios - that can be played in one or two specific theatres and with specific planes. Carrier attack, convoy attack, dam destructions, etc.
Unique scenarios - that are... unique! Sink the Bismark, attack on Taranto harbour, destroy specific target, etc.

Scenarios could always have a header with information about availability.

Time Frame (example 1940, 1941, 1942 or 1943)
Historical Reference if any
Type: (General, Specific or Unique)

So that someone skimming the Scenarios could easily choose the most favourable one.

1. Just to add France surrendered on June 22nd 1940, the Med/Mid East kicked off proper on 10 Jun 1940 when Italy entered the war on Germany's side. So, not detracting from the Poland/Fall of France campaigns which were very one sided, I propose to kick start the WTO in Sept 1940 with BoB plus, a little later than it did, the Med/Mid East.
2. Players will have a complete squadron, which may fictional or historic. Squadron's may be dispatched to different theaters as and when each player wishes. It may be possible for allied squadrons to switch from WTO to the ETO.
3. As in the case of the Midway Rising Campaign I would like to include Joaquim's campaign rules:

1. The Campaign
The Campaign simulates, throughout the length of # scenarios, the WTO 1940-194#.
This Campaign has only one or two simple campaign rules. The rest is scenario driven.
The Campaign management comprehends only two aspects: Squadron maintenance and pilot evolution.

1.1. Allied vs. Axis
Each player chooses if he wants to belong to the Allies or to the Axis.
Players choose 12 pilots that will pilot whatever models the players have available:
1 Ace with one Ace ability and the Evasion Ability;
3 Veteran pilots with the Evasion Ability;
6 Standard pilots and;
2 Rookies that have the "take two damage counters and choose the smaller Rookie Ability". Rookies stop being rookies after 2 combat missions where they successfully fire against the enemy or shoot down a plane.

1.2. Pilot Evolution
Pilots that survive battles and take down enemy planes evolve during the campaign.
A pilot gains abilities and looses the rookie ability by flying missions and taking down planes.
Each successful mission flown gives the pilot 1 Experience Point (XP). Successful missions are those where the pilot is not shot down and fires with success against at least one enemy plane.
Each plane shot down gives the pilot 2 Experience Point.

The first plane shot or the second successful mission erases the Rookie ability.
Three successful missions and a pilot becomes veteran with the Evasion ability.
Per 3 XP's a pilot can choose an ace ability.
When a pilot gains 5 kills he can chose an ace ability.

1.3. Squadron Management
This is pretty straightforward. Here we manage what happens to wounded pilots, shot down planes and replacements.

Wounded Pilots (roll 1D6):
1-3 - Out of Action;
4-6 - Just a bruise. Some iodine and I'm ready for action.

Modifiers:
Ace +2;
Veteran +1,
Rookie -1;
Bailed out/crash-landed -1

Shot Down Table (roll 1D6):
1-3 - KIA;
4-6 - Bailed out/Crash-landed.

Modifiers:
Ace +2;
Veteran +1,
Rookie -1;
Explosion -1

Pilot Replacement Table (roll 1D6)
1-2 - Rookie
3-5 - Regular
6 - Roll again: 1-5 - Veteran, 6 - Ace with 1 ace ability

Replacement pilot and plane will arrive (1D6):
1-3 - In time for the next battle;
4-5 - After the end of the next battle;
6 - Not in time to take part of the action (scratch one plane from your squadron)

2. Scenarios
The Scenarios will be written down as the Campaign evolves. We only need the first to start.
The scenarios may be played differently if you are Allied or Axis. In the scenarios the different rules will be specified.

[Marechallannes]

I'm playing for Axis at the western front, too.

[calm]

That's the spirit Carlos. Are you OK with a squadron of 12? Of course not all will fly at the same time but it gives room for progression and replacements are mainly there to begin with. I'll re-post the rules that blackronin devised for Midway and you'll see how it goes.

Neil, I think 12 is ok for me, if I had 12 tomatoes I would try to put them all in the air at the same time :embarrass:


I'm playing for Axis at the western front, too.

Welcome Kamerad !!! :salute:

[Marechallannes]

I have to think about a roster and the pilots.

I need a Jagdgeschwader.

...and a few Stuka, He.111 and Bf.110 pilots with squadron names that fit to France/BoB.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

I think for the Axis combining sq into a mixed air group would be acceptable, ie Fighter, JU87, HE111 operating within the 12 man group. Each player decides on his own breakdown but within the constraints indicated (ie Ace, Vet, Rookie etc). Or they can just be attached when required.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

The basic spreadsheet is here and will/should follow the same format as OTT campaign. I am going to add in experience if that rule is included for advancing pilots.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am3I2owHUyGgdFhSQkJaRTFvd04tdkdvemx4ajFaT0E&usp=sharing

[RichJ]

I'll play Allied (or axis at a push)

I'll create an extra roster thread for my pilots anyways like in the OTT Late War campaign. ;)

Enlistment in the spreadsheet shouldn't be a problem, too.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

I've sided with allies so at present its 2 Axis v 2 Allied for BoB

[Blackronin]

I'll play for the Allies in WTO:
BoB, Malta and Eastern Front.
I'll play Japs when PTO is available.

Neil, as I'm currently playing a parallel campaign as an RAF pilot, I can play German in this campaign if needed to even things out.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

If that's OK I'll move you across to the Luftwaffe, let me know if this is OK and I'll amend the sheet.

Neil


Neil, as I'm currently playing a parallel campaign as an RAF pilot, I can play German in this campaign if needed to even things out.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Carlos let me know the breakdown of your 12 planes, any bombers will have 1 of the picks for experience, you can put him where you want. The remainder of the crew will all be S. (Have to keep it simple otherwise it gets too large to handle).

Neil

PS: I would imagine for starters the majority of your squadron would be all fighter types, and an even split for the remainder between 2 seaters and bombers.


Now I supose I have to edit the sheet to name the pilots and asign planes for each one. Is that correct ?

In the case of my bombers, how about the rest of the crew ? I expect to have some ace gunners :D

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Having re-read Carlos' post I'm going to work through some simple rules for picking the crews. Some might want to play a bomber squadron rather than a fighter (single seat) squadron.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

To cover different squadrons I would like to propose the following:

Crew choice:

1. Aircraft crew Types:
1. Single seat fighter.
2. Single/double engine, 2 man aircraft.
3. Multi-engined, 3+ crew.

2. Each players has at the start:

1. Min 1 Ace pilot.
2. Min 3 Veteran pilots.
3. Min 6 Standard pilots.
4. Min 2 Rookie pilots.

3. Start Examples:

12 aircraft Single Seat Fighter (12) Squadron:
2 Ace
3 Veteran
7 Standard
12 aircraft Twin seat squadron: Pilot (12)/Rear (12)
2 Aces
4 Veteran
12 Standard
6 Rookie
12 aircraft Multi-Engined 3+ crew Squadron: Pilot/Crew (as req’d)
Total crew/24=Aces min 1
Total crew/12=Veterans
Total crew/6=Rookies
Remainder crew=Standard

i.e. HE III squadron of 12 bombers each with 7 crew

= 84 total crew made up of 3 Aces, 7 Veterans, 60 Standard, 14 Rookies

4. Mixed squadrons will have different ratio’s worked out before campaign start.


5. All replacements will be Rookies.

[RichJ]

OK tell me what to do next as I arrive at dispersal - do I fill in anything online or just get my Hurricane equipped squadron ready on paper.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Forward me the Sqn number, MK of Hurricane (IIB?), 12 pilots in descending order ie Ace, 3 Vets, 6 Standard and your 2 rookies. (These totals may change if they do I'll adjust from the top down).

[RichJ]

OK will do

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Will send you a PM tomorrow Neil.
Rob.

[calm]

Will send you a PM tomorrow Neil.
Rob.

I will try to do the same, with the Tomato wing rooster.

[Nightbomber]

303rd roster will be pm tomorrow, Neil. Thanks for moderation.

[calm]

Neil,

I am planning to send you a file with 12 crews, so you just put Bomber Crew 1, Bomber Crew 2, etc... On the Pilots/Crew sheet, and control the crew member individualy. What do you think ? is it practical from your side, to control the crew members that way ? Would it be too much work ?

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

OK, we're talking 5 crew positions on the card that comes with the model. 1 pilot and 4 gunners. That's 60. Lets try it out, if it works it works if it doesn't in don't and we can figure something else out.

Neil

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Here's my idea for the multi engine squadron choice:


12 aircraft Multi-Engined 3+ crew Squadron: Pilot/Crew (as req’d)
Total crew/24=Aces min 1
Total crew/12=Veterans (Only pilots gain evasion skill)
Total crew/6=Rookies
Remainder crew=Standard
i.e. HE III squadron of 12 bombers each with 5 crew
= 60 total crew; made up of 2 Aces, 5 Veterans, 43 Standard and 10 Rookies
4. Mixed squadrons will have different ratio’s worked out before campaign start.
5. All replacements will be Rookies.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Ah, as Rob pointed out to me the other day...multi engine 3+ crew what about single engine 3 crew?
Damn there's always something you forget to do.

The squadron just follows the single/double engine 2 crew roster as posted above amended to:


12 aircraft Single engine Triple crew squadron: Pilot (12)/Mid (12)/Rear(12)
3 Aces
6 Veteran
15 Standard
12 Rookie

[Brambo]

Neil your doing a fantastic job here, when do you plan to start this Campaign?

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Once I have crew/squadron rosters in and all are happy with those little things like ACE skills, shot down rules etc.
So I'm quite happy to start ASAP, as I see those little things can be utilised from OTT campaign bits, added in when necessary or whatever. Are you joining in? Axis is a bit light. I'm actually thinking of fielding an Axis force for the Med as wll as RAF for the BoB part. Gives young Kyte something to fly against.
So, so far we have:


BoB Allies:
Skafloc
Blackronin
RichJ
Nightbomber

BoB Axis:
Marechallannes
Calm
fast.git

Med Allies:
FO Kyte

Med Axis:
skafloc



Neil your doing a fantastic job here, when do you plan to start this Campaign?

[Brambo]

Ok I will give it a go. Could I fly for BOB Allies please, and if possible would like to form a Beaufighter Sqn.

[Marechallannes]

Ok, I'm ready with my squadron structure:

I./JG 27 (Jagdgeschwader) Major Neumann - Messerschmitt Bf.109 - Guines / Pas de Calais (12 pilots = 2 Aces, 2 Veterans, 6 Standart, 2 Rookies)

IV./LG (Lehrgeschwader) Major Willy Schneider - Junkers Ju 87 - Saint-Omer / Pas de Calais (4 x crew with pilots = 2 Veterans, 2 Standart) + 4 gunners

II./LG (Lehrgeschwader) Hauptmann Richard von der Wüst - Messerschmitt Bf 110 - Saint-Omer / Pas de Calais ( 4x crew with pilots = 1 Ace, 1 Veteran, 1 Standart, 1 Rookie) + 4 gunners

Stab/KG 53 (Kampfgruppe) Oberst Waldo Pütz - Heinkel He. 111 - Lille-Nord (3x crew with pilots = 1 Veteran, 2 Standart) + 12 gunners



I will deliver the names as soon as possible.



Gunners need no names in the spreadsheet.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Sven your basic squadrons details have been added. I've included the HE III gunners as I want to try this part out. If it is too unwieldy then I'll cut the gunners out.

[Brambo]

Will PM you my Sqn list tomorrow Neil.

Neil, I hope it's ok if we transfer parts of this concept to the Pacific side. :confused:

[Marechallannes]

Neil, his would be nice - as soon as we named players and get the subforum.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

No, that's fine. No scenario would include 12 planes from one side. So 4 HE 111's can be escorted by fighters. Scenario's will be broad minded in scope. Some will be more specific and some will be theater orientated only.


Joaquim, my squadron is comprised of 12 He-111s, and I only have 4 of them to field at any time. Will this be a problem ?

If so, I can make a mixed group, with some stukas (I have 2), bf-110s (2, too) and/or bf-109s (5).

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Try typing the bloomin' crews onto the roster sheets, that nearly done for me, or was it informe, never been to informe, been known to be incognito and informal a few times....getting up too early for Vapnartak is messing with my synapses and cooking the bacon butties ofr Guzzi and I.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I am working on my sheets to get them ready, but a few matters at home have directed my attention elsewhere.
After both of us being unwell for three weeks, there are a lot of jobs which need doing around the home.

And me thinking that I was being subtle... :hmm: :hmm:

Cool I'm flying a swordfish! Looking forward on my exploits. Hate water so hopefully I stay in the air!

[flash]

:eek: He's done it again!:D:thumbsup::clap::clap::clap:

At least I made flight leader...;) Still waiting a response on the sub-forum.

[calm]

And me thinking that I was being subtle... :hmm: :hmm:

I liked the surname ! Janriver :thumbsup:

[Blackronin]

Thomas: You're flying a Swordfish that I still don't have! :lol: Somehow, my luck with the post office maintains its steady bad rolls...

Dave: One must put the right people at the right places, right?! Right! ;)

Carlos: Your surname was easy for me to do, but others might find it hard to guess. Or not. Everybody in this forum is way too bright.

:lol: :lol:

You'll do the job well, Neil! I'm sure of it. Be it typing crews or turning bacon.

Bacon! Mmmm.... Now you've done it. See you soon.

Have the decals I sent you not turned up yet Joaquim?
If not I think it's time I got onto the dispatcher.
Rob.

[Blackronin]

Nope.
They have not.
:(

[Brambo]

Neil, no major changes, just split them into flights and given the ace abilities. I'm going to use this as a Squadron history as suggested earlier in this thread. That's when we get our sub forum. ;)

Neil, Sven pointed some errors in my roster. I will send you the corrections shortly.

[Marechallannes]

Nothing serious - it's just about the ranks of the He.111 crews. ;)

I'm proud that Tomato Staffel is part of Kampfgeschwader 35. :salute:

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

I think we should curtail this thread and move over to the sub-forum.
