Background:
In a fictional campaign during WW2 allied forces have recently established small bases on Guam and Rota. A detachment of RAF and USAF fighters are tasked with supporting offensive operations towards Tinian and Saipan islands in the north. US and Japanese naval forces are maneuvering around the Mariana islands and a major naval engagement has just started with raids from carrier based aircraft.
Situation:
Allied intelligeence informs us that the enemy have launched a large raid towards friendly fleet units from Tinian and Saipan. We take the opportunity to attack fuel and ammunition stores on the north part of Saipan. As usual stay away from AAA concentrations close to the enemy airbases on Tinian and Saipan. We expect very few defending fighters but will provide CAP to cover our strike force just in case.
