Bag the B17 USAAF Fighter Escort Briefing


I hammered out the player briefing for the Fighter Escort Leader today, using the same format as the Luftwaffe one but incorporating the objectives, formations and reinforcements required for the USAAF mission parameters. The key difference is that the USAAF will be flying in full sections, apart from one close escort element, will enter the table at a higher altitude and must avoid leaving the table and the bombers at all costs.

I've also fiddled the pilot experience D6 roll, to filter in some Green pilots as wingmen, whilst retaining a core of Regulars, Veterans and Junior Aces. The VP's are also much less expansive than those of the Luftwaffe, just to make things crystal clear for the USAAF players. Now I just have to type up the B17 bomber crew briefing including the all important rules for air to air gunnery, then sort out any additional cards that I need for the turn deck.
