And our plane, "Luscious Leia"



Mission 1:
Brest Harbour with Brest U-Boat base as alternate.

Apparently the Bomb Damage Estimate was "low", had a shit angle of approach and tried to lay out the ships in harbour and follow up with the waterside warehouses and fuel oil storage.



From the mission, the squadron lost one bomber. And we had some injuries on our plane, the flak was only moderate, but it was pretty accurate.

SSgt Witz - Severe Wound - Purple Heart received.
SSgt Relihan - Severe Wound - Purple Heart received.
TSgt Harris - Severe Wound - Purple Heart received.
2nd Lt Wong - Flesh Wound - Purple Heart received.

Put me down on reserve navigator.

Wow, I got that Purple Heart quickly.
Well, at least I didn't die.

hey I only got a wound, which for a ball gunner is pretty good.

if there's room put me in reserve too, My real life name is Sampo Paalanen

you'll just have make up some reason why a Finn (Finland was fighting Soviet Union during this time) would be part of the crew (a recent immigrant perhaps)

I'll be a reservist, too, so long as I don't have to be the ball turret gunner. That thing's a death trap.

BTW, my name is Mark Stevenson

I'll take reserve pilot/navigator/bombadier. Name is Jake Hagel.

reserve ball turret, if you please.

Reservist?

M.B. Bucher

Sign up Reservist #4539872. Preferably navigator or radio operator, but, hell, I'll take the ball turret since everyone else hates it. Brandon Langlois.

Reservist Steve Kissinger reporting for duty. Anything but ball turret (I'm too large to fit).

I'll be a reserve! Colin Hamill

damn I thought I was the only colin on this board.

Reserve, if you need some more. Put me down as "Eduardo III" if that fits in the name box.

...


No, that's not my name. But I occaisionally sign it to things that aren't official forms. So that should count.

Hmm, given the number of applicants, I might have to start running a squadron level campaign and give everyone a bomber of their own. See who makes the full 30 missions then!

If you make an SDNet squadron, I call "Death Incarnate" for my bomber's name

I want "Falling Over Backwards."

Hehe, my own bomber.

what game?

and what is the learning curve of this game? Looks fun.

The game is B-17 The Mighty Eighth, you can download a demo (30minutes limit - not really worth it) or the intro movie (really worth a look) from 3dGamers.com.

Sidenote: RL name Daniel Goldberg.

well they could have you, me, Coyote, DEATH, and faqa crewing the "Fire from the mountain top" I'm sure the germans will hate it.

That'd be one killer outfit.

I could be reserve navigator or bombardier.

psh, all you not naming your bombers after women will have bad luck!

That being said, I'd like to request a bomber of my own, if we're going to do that.

I'll take a reserve spot, or a bomber, if you have it.

Real name is JD Roger.
