WULF BAIT LOST EN ROUTE TO REGENSBURG

 6 fighters attacked in zone 7 - the single engined fighters attacked with rockets - but had no effect. Then they regrouped and attacked from all angles. WULF BAIT's veteran crew damaged several attackers and drove off more - but the rudder and tail wheel were destroyed.

The pilot decided to continue - needing anything but a [6,6] DR to maintain control. Alas when entering zone 9 he rolled [6,6] and WULF BAIT spun out of control.

8 men bailed out and became POWs.

The real REGENSBURG mission was of course on 17th August 1943 - but in my game targets are generated randomly from a range of possible targets that is based on the historical record. The only thing that might have changed in mid August is the use of drop tanks  by P-47s and of course 4 more BG[H] started operations in July/August, so some would not have been ready in time for July 25th - but that doesn't make a difference in my game. Having one P-47 available to counter that big group of BANDITS that appeared in Zone 6 could have made a difference of course.
