August 12th 1940 saw the Luftwaffe switch its attention to the coastal airfields:

162502


Setup:
an area equal to 2 mats joined at the short edge.

Luftwaffe start on the right hand edge.

Place a suitable airfield target in the middle of the left hand mat with 8 aircraft cards, half a card width apart to simulate parked aircraft.

162507

(May be in two rows of 4)

162505

Luftwaffe:
3 unescorted Heinkel III's at peg height 4 (coming in low level)

162503

(if you don't have enough bombers, add 1 ME109 , or 2 JU87's)

Remember to move any bombers at slow speed until they drop their bombs.

Each Heinkel has 2 bomb loads, each JU87 1.

German mission to destroy as many aircraft and put at least 2 bomb loads on the runway.

162504



RAF:
2 Hurricanes or Spitfires in the process of taking off. Place on airfield and at peg 1.

162506

As the attack is low level the RAF planes my climb 1 peg every 2 cards.

RAF Mission is to shoot down the enemy planes or make them drop their bombs off target.

Special Rules:
1. German Bombers (Heinkel) cannot climb with bomb load.
2. German bombers carrying bombs must move at slow speed.
3. Any German Bomber with 50%+ damage will drop its bomb load and turn for home.
4. For Luftwaffe AI purposes the enemy 'plane' is the center of the airfield.
5. RAF main priority is the bombers.
6. Ground targets are out of range for bombers to shoot at with MG's.
7. Simple altitude rules for fighter climb 1 peg every 2 cards, dive 1 peg every card if allowed.
8. Firing ranges apply as normal for height and distance.
9. If your target card has more than 1 runway then designate 1 as the main runway target.
10. To hit a runway most of the bomb card must touch, cover the runway itself. A partial hit counts as half.
