Bag the Hun Whirlwind Scenario


A couple of years ago I worked up the framework for a semi-historical Bag the Hun scenario, designed for the 2019 Lard Day, which in the end I didn't use. It's all written down in sketch form and I've been thinking of going back to it and finishing it off, now that I have the Cruel Seas E-Boats to use as a target. In the original scenario, designed for upwards of six players, I had a lot of aircraft including six No129 Squadron Spitfires, three No263 Squadron Whirlwinds and eight Fw-190's of 9/JG2.

This is probably too much for a simple scenario, so the plan would be to slim it down to just the three Whirlwinds and four Fw-190's, together with a single E-Boat as the target. I think this would make for a faster game, as there would be fewer cards to deal and it would be easier to run as an umpire. I would need to paint the Whirlwinds but, apart from that, it just requires the turn cards and perhaps a specific damage table for the E-Boats. 

It's not on my high priority list of things to do but it would be a shame to waste all the effort I put into it back in 2018!
