This is The Malta Variation - Scenario 1: He who runs away lives to...
June 15, 1940
Dear Brother:
I was very sad we couldn't meet before the Eagle left harbor. I received your letter from May 25 and I understand the weight you feel over your shoulders. But we must endure. I'm now in Malta and as soon as we arrived we had to fight. Captain Bridge decided that the Swordfishes we brought should flight to Malta escorted by four Martlets. This would maintain the Eagle in combat readiness and give us the space so needed to operate our planes. So this morning at sunrise, Yellow Section, commanded by Flt. Lt. David "Arizona" Surprise escorted the 8 Swordfishes. As soon as they arrived the island, Malta control tower asked for help. Three bogeys were coming in direction of La Valletta port. Dave decided to send two Martlets to engage the bandits. PO Carlos Janriver and PO Daniel Prague dropped formation to engage the Italian planes.
Air Commodore Kyte heard the sirens and left his desk. He went outside and looked up.

Air Commodore Kyte looked up and saw the incoming planes. Three Italian fighters. What were those? He had to study every Italian plane. Then he heard some more engines coming.

More Italians, he wandered. They too came from the sea...

But the way they moved to intercept seemed to deny that first thought. He still remembered from the other war... No time for that. His aide joined him at the veranda. "Those aren't ours..." Kyte pointed. "No sir. They're the new American naval fighters. They're from the Eagle. Escorting the incoming Swordfishes..." Kyte nodded. He knew that they were intercepting.

"One of those Italians flies like an ace..." Kyte said quietly. "What, sir?" Kyte put his hand over his eyes. "Would you be kind enough to bring me a G&T? This battle promises to be interesting." His aide left quickly. "Yes sir."

"Trying to get in a better position?" Kyte shook his head. "It won't work, m'boys, they're more than you..." Finally he remembered he had his binoculars in his belt and he took them quickly.

"Yes..." He spoke to himself, "I told you... First blood..."

"A formation split-s... You navy boys know how to fly... But maybe you should split up..."

Kyte's aide returned in a quick pace. "Here, sir. Did you lost anything?" Kyte slowly sipped a small portion from his G&T.

"No harm done. The Italians are firing well against our boys..." "Shouldn't they split?" "I understand now that it wasn't for the G&T making that I accepted you as my aide..."

"Ah there. Excellent firing from our men!" "Indeed, sir."

"He's taking a lot of hits. At least from here seems so..." "I saw something fall out of that Martlet..." Kyte turned his eyes to his aide. he also had a pair of binoculars in his eyes.

Then suddenly a flash. "That one is done!" His aide turned to the other Martlet. "Who?! Who?" "The Italian! Look how it comes down."
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Malta%20and%20Mediterranean/Chapter%202%20-%20To%20Run%20or%20to%20Stay/RunorStay17.jpg
"Excellent burst. We have a pilot there!" "I was watching the other plane... I didn't saw the shot that took him down..." "No matter! Now the odds are getting even."

"They are... But that one has already taken a lot of punishment, sir." "I'm afraid there's a lot more punishment to come yet."

"Look how they are trying to get close to each other. They know what they're doing." "And the Italians don't?" "Oh, they do... They do... But let's just hope that they don't..."
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Malta%20and%20Mediterranean/Chapter%202%20-%20To%20Run%20or%20to%20Stay/RunorStay21.jpg

"How could he hit from that position, sir?!" "That Italian is an ace..."
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Malta%20and%20Mediterranean/Chapter%202%20-%20To%20Run%20or%20to%20Stay/RunorStay28.jpg
"But our boy is not bad either..." "He's not... But he was lucky... The other Martlet is on fire." "Why won't he jump?" "Too low..."
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Malta%20and%20Mediterranean/Chapter%202%20-%20To%20Run%20or%20to%20Stay/RunorStay29.jpg
"Is he trying to put it down in the water?" "Yes... If the Italian lets him..."
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Malta%20and%20Mediterranean/Chapter%202%20-%20To%20Run%20or%20to%20Stay/RunorStay30.jpg
"The Italians are leaving!" "They are. I want to meet those boys... Let's hope they're okay..."

"He landed on sea and the fire was put off!" "Yes... The Italian ace has problems in his engine. Was it that the reason he let them go?"
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/Bayushiseni/WW2%20Mega%20Campaign/Malta%20and%20Mediterranean/Chapter%202%20-%20To%20Run%20or%20to%20Stay/RunorStay32.jpg
"Bring the car. Let's see those Swordfishes!" "Yes sir." They both got inside the building leaving the veranda empty with the exception of glass with a roundel of lemon.
In this Mission:
A Pair from Yellow Section
PO Carlos Janriver - Martlet (Standard) (1 Kill - 1 kill in this mission)
PO Daniel Prague - Martlet (Standard) (No ammunition)
Italian Forces
1 ace and two Standard pilots
Special rules:
Angling Shots - All shots that don't enter the enemy plane in its rear arc and front arc are always long range shots;
All close range shots that enter the enemy's plane rear arc at close range add an A damage chit;
All close range shots that enter the enemy's plane frontal arc suffer reduction. All B, C and D chits become A chits instead.
These rules adds to the extra A damage chit for continuous fire (i.e. firing against the same enemy plane for consecutive turns).
Example: A ki-43 is firing for the second consecutive time against a P-40 in the P-40 rear arc at close range. It would make AAB damage.
Ace Trigger Free - Aces are the only pilots that can fire during a reverse maneuver.
Universal Diceless Solo Chart - From now on I'll use this chart for WW2 combat.

Dear Brother:
I was very sad we couldn't meet before the Eagle left harbor. I received your letter from May 25 and I understand the weight you feel over your shoulders. But we must endure. I'm now in Malta and as soon as we arrived we had to fight. Captain Bridge decided that the Swordfishes we brought should flight to Malta escorted by four Martlets. This would maintain the Eagle in combat readiness and give us the space so needed to operate our planes. So this morning at sunrise, Yellow Section, commanded by Flt. Lt. David "Arizona" Surprise escorted the 8 Swordfishes. As soon as they arrived the island, Malta control tower asked for help. Three bogeys were coming in direction of La Valletta port. Dave decided to send two Martlets to engage the bandits. PO Carlos Janriver and PO Daniel Prague dropped formation to engage the Italian planes.

"He landed on sea and the fire was put off!" "Yes... The Italian ace has problems in his engine. Was it that the reason he let them go?"

"Bring the car. Let's see those Swordfishes!" "Yes sir." They both got inside the building leaving the veranda empty with the exception of glass with a roundel of lemon.
In this Mission:
A Pair from Yellow Section
PO Carlos Janriver - Martlet (Standard) (1 Kill - 1 kill in this mission)
PO Daniel Prague - Martlet (Standard) (No ammunition)
Italian Forces
1 ace and two Standard pilots
Special rules:
Angling Shots - All shots that don't enter the enemy plane in its rear arc and front arc are always long range shots;
All close range shots that enter the enemy's plane rear arc at close range add an A damage chit;
All close range shots that enter the enemy's plane frontal arc suffer reduction. All B, C and D chits become A chits instead.
These rules adds to the extra A damage chit for continuous fire (i.e. firing against the same enemy plane for consecutive turns).
Example: A ki-43 is firing for the second consecutive time against a P-40 in the P-40 rear arc at close range. It would make AAB damage.
Ace Trigger Free - Aces are the only pilots that can fire during a reverse maneuver.
Universal Diceless Solo Chart - From now on I'll use this chart for WW2 combat.
