AAR CAMPAIGN #12 THE CHANNEL WARS
Scenario 3: Quotient.
Scenario by: Herman Hum and Brad Leyte (CV32)
Side: France
Right after start of the game, UK lauched a massive air-attack on the French TF.
I directly launched all Rafale fighters to intercept the enemy and managed to destroy all attacking aircraft (70 fighters, 3 Nimrod MR.2P and 2 Sentry AEW.)
In the meantime a British Trafalgar class submarine was spotted. I launched an ASW aircraft to locate the submarine and sunk it with torpedoes.
Now it was time to plan a French attack on the British aircraft carrier and its escort.
First I ordered the French submarine Perle and the CTF to make best speed through the Channel to engage the enemy.
I launched The Tankers for air-replenishment and some hours later I launched all aircraft based at Cambrai. Several hours later the submarine Perle was able to fire torpedoes at the british CTF and sunk the Illustrious and 2 of her escorts with torpedoes. The Rafale and Etendards based on the R91 attacked the CTF at the same time and managed to take out the brandnew Type 45.1 Daring class destroyer. This was a very hard nut to crack due to her excellent defense systems. Finally I cracked the last british destroyer with Exocet missiles fired by the destroyers who arrived at the scene.
I did however not reach victory conditions; I failed to reach station with the R91 Charles De Gaulle........What station??????
My orders were specific: sink the British Illustrous. I crossed the Channel and finally sunk the last british destroyer west of Brest.
British losses:
70 Attack/Fighter
3 Nimrod MR.2P
2 Sentry AEW.1
13 Helicopters
1 Trafalgar Class submarine
1 Type 42.1 Birmingham class destroyer
1 Type 42.3 Manchester class destroyer
1 Type 45.1 Daring class Destroyer
1 Illustrious aircraft carrier
French losses:
30 Attack/Fighter
Much fun while playing this scenario
Cheers,
