Bag the B17 Luftwaffe Briefing


I've hammered out what I think is a pretty comprehensive but not overly complicated mission briefing for the Luftwaffe fighter commander, who will be attempting to wipe out a combat box of B17G bombers in the club Bag the Hun game in a few weeks time. I have run several bomber interception scenarios before but wanted to do something a bit different this time round, so have incorporated a set up which tries to mirror tactics used by the Luftwaffe against daylight bomber formations. 

This includes a head on frontal attack on the combat box at the start of the scenario, followed up my slashing flank and rear attacks and dive away manoeuvres, whilst other Luftwaffe fighters tangle with the American fighter escorts. It will probably be a bit too much for some players to manage but I think it will work well enough to give the USAAF players a run for their money. I may re-think some elements of the briefing once I've worked out the equivalent for the USAAF fighter and bomber players.
