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 intelligence have determined that the enemy general Komuro Kansuke and his staff is on his way to Tinian to bolster the defenses. The enemy is aware of our earlier intercepts of their high value transports and they plan to fly in under the protection of clouds and a fighter escort. Our intelligence service knows that the enemy will use a radio beacon to navigate towards Tinian. We will use a lead Mossie to follow the opposite course from that same beacon in order to intercept them. The target is a Ju88 escorted by an unknown number of Fw190 Antons. Special service forces callsign WEASEL will give the course and altitude for the intercept over radio on channel B. Since this channel is monitored by the Japs we will use the following ramrod: NORTHSLIDE
