Lineup:
Background:
In a fictional campaign during WW2 allied forces have recently established a small base on Guam. A detachment of RAF and USAF fighters are tasked with supporting offensive operations towards Rota island in the north. US and Japanese naval forces are maneuvering around the Mariana islands and a major naval engagement is expected soon.
Situation:
Japanese supply ships are closing in on Tinian with ammunition and new donkeys, by flying low towards Tinian in radar shadow behind Aguijan (see map) we can suprise Tinian air defenses. CAP should follow the strike aircraft down low unitl after the strike, or alternatively wait at Rota and push in after the strike to cover the retreating strike aircraft. Load up with bombs/rocktes (or go for CAP) and take off towards Rota. After passing Rota descend to low level and take heading 310, Longbow will inform you when you need to turn right to 046 (magnetic) to stay in radar shadown.
