M FOR MICKEY

FILES AVAILABLE FOR BETA TESTING AND FEEDBACK

I have uploaded the files to dropbox and can send links to a few people interested in trying them out.

It seems you will need a Mac not a PC or be able to input the META command on a PC at least. You will also need a fairly large screen - laptop screens are too small to be able to see the information on the counters properly.

If you're interested in having a go at this game on VASSAL post a comment with your email. I will delete the e-mail from the comment when I moderate it.

A FOR ALFIE BACK FROM BRUNSWICK

 Take off in the last light of 14 January.

  Can't seem to hit the target again

A FOR ALFIE BACK FROM STETTIN

NEW START - A FOR ALFIE

A FOR ALFIE makes it back [just] from the 1-2 January 1944 Berlin raid.

WILD BOARS OVER BERLIN

BERLIN AGAIN - 28-29 JANUARY 1944

GLORIA - BERLIN 27-28 JANUARY 1944

GLORIA BACK SAFE FROM MAGDEBURG

MAGDEBURG - 21 JANUARY 1944

Lots of NACHTJAEGERS about on the way to BRUNSWICK and back but none attacked GLADYS. She ran out of luck however and crashed on landing. The PILOT was WIA - the rest of the crew survived. GLADYS was a write off though. They fly again the very next night in a new A/C - GLORIA.
I'm more pleased than I thought I'd be with these games. Lots happens. They are quite interesting to set up and you see how the moon and weather effects planning. I have had a lot of quite close calls and in this tour my only losses were an accident and fuel running out.

BRUNSWICK - 14 JANUARY 1944

DOLLY FTR FROM STETTIN

Several Nachtjaegers were around and two came close to attacking but neither managed to line up a shot. Alas, navigation got the better of DOLLY and she ran out of fuel over the North Sea. The crew bailed out - but none survived. The North Sea in January and still dark - so never had much chance.

DOLLY BACK FROM BERLIN - 2ND OP

This was the first lucky escape - this Bf110 engaged the Lancaster flying at 8 o'clock.

A second close shave - the Ju88 went on to engage the a/c just ahead and to port of DOLLY.

A pretty good hit on Berlin

This Wild Boar engaged another Lancaster - not DOLLY who's luck held.

This perfect Schrage Musik attack did no damage - the Nachtjaeger broke off the attack - perhaps out of ammunition. 

Back to East Kirkby in one piece for a well earned breakfast.

D FOR DOLLY - BERLIN AGAIN...

This is the route for tonight's 'OP'. A late take off necessitates flying through the Bremen Konaja zone before a dog-leg north to come in to Berlin from the North West. It's a long way and some of it will have moonlight.

D FOR DOLLY BACK FROM BERLIN

After H for HILDA's early demise I started over with D for DOLLY

 CREEP BACK!

READY FOR OP # 2 - BERLIN AGAIN!

1-2 JANUARY 1944 RAID
