Recon Photos for Mission 4

Based on these photos, can anyone guess what we're going to do?

366 Squadron RAF: Mission 1

We arrived at 0800 for our final briefing. 

After parachuting behind enemy lines, the squad formed up, and proceeding toward town.

Fortunately, or unfortunately when you also have a blog going, there was so much action that I couldn't get any pics again until the mission was completed. Our agent was extracted safety and the V1 rocket was destroyed. Plus, we all had a blast doing it!

From left to right:. Sin Trenton, Wendy Charisma (our agent at SS HQ), Foxy Heart, Cornelius Fanshaw, and me.

We invited Axis Team regular Elein Snowpaw to join us as he was our adversary during Mission 1, and a good sport about the whole thing. He also serves a dual role as one of the sim admins so he was delighted to see an organized team of Allies fight today.

We did one major thing wrong and zigged instead of zagged, sending most of the team in the wrong direction for 10 or 15 minutes. But hey, it still worked. The diversion gave me the chance to destroy the V1. If we had two or 3 more people on our squad, I'd have a chance for more photos. But it was all great fun and I'm so happy I got to participate!

SL Dreams: If I had a World War 2 Sim

With visits to so many WW2 regions in the last 6 years, I've often thought about having my own. What would it look like?

The Axis Objective would be:
1) Protect Rockets
2) Destroy London

While the British and American Commando Team Objectives would be:
1) Destroy Rockets
2) Protect London


Operation Crossbow!



Scoring would be different than the usual "Who killed the most?"

The Germans would win if all members of the Allied Team were "killed" before the V-2 Rockets were destroyed. The Allies would win if at least one member of the team were able to destroy both V-2s in the sim. Even if all agents were "killed" - The Allies could still win if both V-2s were destroyed. The objective is to save London at any cost.
