BOMBS OVER DOVER
Scenarios Rulebook of the Battle of Britain set (page 3).
1- German side : One Bf.109 Jabo (played by Stan95) and one Stuka (played by myself), both loaded with a single charge of bomb.
The game played is a mix of the regular scenario (with 2 Bf.109) and the variant scenario (with 2 Stukas).
English side : played Automatic. 2 Firing Troop cards (blue squares on first picture), 2 AA Gun cards (yellow squares), 2 Target cards (red squares)
Bombing with Bf.109 : use rule ”Other types of airplanes as bombers” (page 40, Battle of Britain rulebook).
The fighter must drop the bomb at altitude 1 or 2, after a stall or a dive or the straight ending an overdive.
Target cards can’t be straffed.
Aa guns are played automatic (page 42, rulebook). When an enemy plane is within 2 rulers range of AA gun, an A damage counter is drawn to check if AA aim is correct : if its value is 2 or higher, aim is correct and target takes a D damage counter ; if the A counter value is less than 2, shot misses.
2-3- from altitude 4, Bf.109 starts an overdive sequence (stall, dive, straight) to get to altitude 2.
4- After a stall, Bf.109 drops its bomb but the target center is not covered and damage is halved.
AA guns aims (black ruler) miss as A counters drawn are less than 2.
5-6- Unsuccessful shots of Bf.109 on troops and on AA Gun. Troop shot misses too twice.
7- Immelmann of Bf.109 which misses again its shot on AA gun.
Still at altitude 4, Stuka makes a first vertical dive, although its base partially covers the target card, rather than making a new approach to have better chance to fully destroy the target.
8- Second vertical dive, bombs are dropped from altitude 2 and partially destroy target.
9- Both planes get to altitude 1 and troop card is eliminated by a successful shot of Bf.109 which takes 4 damage points.
10-11-12- After 3 right turns, Stuka rear gunner fails to destroy the AA gun, but the pilot eliminates the second troops card with 3 successful shots.
Troops have inflicted to the Stuka 7 damage points and a smoke damage.
With no more bomb load, German planes go back safely to their side, rather than attempt an hazardous AA guns straffing.
Outcome : 2 targets partially damaged, 2 troops eliminated, 1 AA gun partially damaged, 1 AA gun undamaged.
