Sunday 6th Feb
One DF mission written from me.
Early war Pacific, on the Pacific Islands map, so short flying times to your crash site
Each team has one airbase and 1 carrier. There are also other ground and sea targets to attack.
If I get a chance I will write a coop as well - have to have a think on what to do - if anyone has a suggestion please feel free to voice it.

Re: Sunday 6th Feb
Thanks Nelly. It's always a pleasure.
~~~
Just off the top of my head ...
Beau's (ATL) or A-20's (PAC) w/torps trying to sink a BB surrounded by DD's?
Very light fighter escort against medium float plane defense, maybe?
I dunno ...

Re: Sunday 6th Feb
Perhaps I could try and dig a few missions out from when I used to try and make them.... it's a good few years back, so anyone who was around then has probably forgotten about them now

I've got some too, should we get desperate. If the numbers are right we can try the catastrophically dangerous Mission #3.

Re: Sunday 6th Feb
OK - one DF and one coop done. Both early Pacific.
DF mission uses Pacific Islands as stated at top of thread. USAAF v IJA.
Mission 2 is a coop on the Singapore map. January 1942. A British battleship with destroyer escort is making a dash up the Malacca strait. British and Commonwealth fighters (Hurricanes and Buffalos) give air cover from bases on Singapore island. IJA aircraft attempt to sink using divebombers and torpedos. Option to fly red or blue.
