Title: Target for Tonight Campaign, Game Eight - Dusseldorf 3rd-4th November 1943,
Post by: carojon on October 12, 2021, 09:38:32 AM

Our Target for Tonight Campaign ended on a high this weekend at the monthly meeting of the Devon Wargames Group, with a climactic last op, game eight in our Battle of Berlin Campaign, that saw our bomber stream head off to Happy Valley.

With a light fuel load matched with a very heavy bomb lift and with a relatively close range target, Dusseldorf and its oil refining plants, in weather set for accurate night bombing all seemed set for Bomber Command to turn a series of poor results around and the result of the campaign overall.

It has been fun following the campaign you guys played. I like the amendments you made to a wonderful set of rules.
Hopefully not too long before you have another go.

Great write up

Are you using two scales of models - one for the bomber stream, and one for the night-fighter attacks?
