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:
Dickie is on the wireless, screaming that an enemy carrier is severely damaged, and numerous enemy attack aircraft have diverted towards Saipan and Tinian. This is an opportunity we can’t afford to miss. Take off and intercept them—the enemy is low on fuel, and we could be looking at a “fish in a barrel” situation! The enemy is approaching Tinian and Saipan from the northwest.
