"I drink."
"That works..."
"I'll get the bottle and two glasses."

In this Scenario:
This scenario was devised to be a cross-over with my two BoB Solo Campaigns:
My Fire in the Skies Solo BoB Campaign (http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?18165-Letters-from-the-War-BoB-and-Med-Blackronin) with the 111th Fighter Squadron
and
My The Kindness of Strangers Solo Campaign (http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?17437-A-Solo-Campaign-The-Kindness-of-Strangers) with the 145th Squadron (during the Battle of Britain)
Two sections of these two squadrons met over the Channel:
111th Fighter Squadron
Green Section
Flt. Lt. Paul Brittany (Flight Leader) - Hawker Hurricane (Standard) (1 kill) (1 shared kill this scenario)
PO Kenneth Sheffieldlake - Hawker Hurricane (Standard) - SD / S / (1 shared kill this scenario)
PO Zoe Barton Bridge - Evasion - Hawker Hurricane (Veteran) - SD / S / (2 shared kills this scenario)
PO Louis Howell - Rookie - Hawker Hurricane (Standard) (2 kills) - SD / S / (1 shared kill this scenario)
145th Squadron
Yellow Section

My The Kindness of Strangers Solo Campaign (http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?17437-A-Solo-Campaign-The-Kindness-of-Strangers) with the 145th Squadron (during the Battle of Britain)
