Dear Brother:

Here am I again writing you. It seems that it's easier to collect my thoughts writing them to you. In my last letter I wrote you about the retreat from the front airstrips to those nearer Calais. Now let me tell you the tales of my men in that same retreat. I sent them in four different flight paths. Lt. Christopher Gitfast, Flight Leader of the Blue Section and PO Louis Howell would escort Bleinhem bombers that didn't had ammunition for their weapons. Their Hurricanes were the only ones besides mine and Andrzej's to have full ammo. Flt. Lt. Paul Brittany, Green section Flight Leader and PO Zoe Barton Bridge, with some ammunition would make a west-south sweep to protect the rest of the Squadron, since they were unarmed.
And glad I did send them. Soon after turning south they found the eagles of the Reich. My orders were to engage only if they had no other option.

"Paul! One O'clock High!" "I've seen them, Zoe. Let's try to sidestep them and leave to fight another day." "Roger that, Flight leader."

"They're faster than us, Paul." "I know that Zoe. When I tell you turn hard right." "What?!"

"Now! Turn hard right! And keep turning!" "But they'll get us, Paul!"

They're firing at me!" "Do it! Kinnison told me that we turn better than them!"

"This won't work, Paul!" "It will, keep turning!"

"What if one of them makes a loop?" "We'll deal with that when the time comes."

"I'm going to try something. Keep turning." "But Paul..." "That's an order Pilot officer Bridge!"

"Yes sir..."

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail09.jpg

"You're being shot, sir..."

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail10.jpg

"I know.. I know..."

"Weren't we supposed to escape in the opposite direction, sir?"

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail12.jpg

"Are you being sarcastic because I've shouted at you?" "Why are you reducing speed, sir?"

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail13.jpg

"I'm trying to get inside their turn." "Oh! It's working, I see now."

"Are you alright, sir?!" "Temperature is okay, it's just smoke..."

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail15.jpg

"Zoe, you're almost inside their turn." "We do turn better than them..."

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail16.jpg

It's our only advantage, Zoe. Remember that we don't have full ammo."

"Roger that, Flight leader."

"Got him!" "Did you?" "I think I did..."

"He's going for a reverse, Zoe! Keep turning!"

"Too late, sir! I'm committed..."

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail21.jpg

"I'll try to divert him..."

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail22.jpg

"That hurt!" "Are you alright?!" "Yes."

"You've got him good!"

"Cover me, Zoe! I'll go after this one."

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail25.jpg

"Use your ammo wisely..." "Yes sir..."

"Again?!"

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail27.jpg

"Here! Take this!"

"It seemed the sensible thing to do, Paul..." "I've missed..." "Again?!" "What?!"

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail30.jpg

"Joking! Two bandits going your direction, sir..." "Wasn't that what you were supposed to avoid?"

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail31.jpg

"Ieiiiii! Nicely done, sir!" "Thanks, Zoe!"

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail33.jpg

"We can take them, sir! Odds are now balanced!"

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail34.jpg

"That one was close..." "We can take them, sir!"

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail35.jpg

"See?!" "That was my last round of ammo, Zoe... Let's try to disengage."

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Battle%20of%20Britain/Scenario%201A%20-%20With%20the%20Tail%20Between%20Our%20Legs/BoB1A-WiththeTail36.jpg

"Buggar! I still have a few rounds..." "You have all the time in the world to use them, Zoe. Let's move on."

"See?! Ah... Okay... No more rounds."

"At the airfield we'l have a talk about good radio communication..." "Roger that, sir..."

"Zoe..." "Sir?" "Don't go humming on the speaker..."

In this Mission:

Flight B - Green Section
Flt. Lt. Paul Brittany (Flight Leader) - Hawker Hurricane (Standard) (1 Kill in this mission)
PO Zoe Barton Bridge - Evasion - Hawker Hurricane (Veteran)

Special rules:

To maintain the will to leave I decided to give the Hurricanes 4 bursts of ammunition. From the 4th burst on on a roll of 1-3 the ammunition was exhausted.

Nice AAR Joaquim I like the limited ammo addition gave the combat a real purpose instead of a fight to the death.

Thanks, Neil.
I liked very much the continuous turning around and the way the AI planes kept up with the Hurricanes.

Well spotted Neil. I don't know what came over me? No it wasn't a Hurricane.

These topical storms get everywhere, was it a Typhoon or Tempest then if it wasn't a Hurricane?

More like a Mistral. I think it was due to the beans.
