Played this scen in 3.8.0.
This is a one hour alpha strike by Marine Harriers and helicopters against an airbase in Serbia.
I started by studying the maps and finding the most important (well, the least Dp) ground targets. I marked these with refpoints
Then I took off all planes and the harrier IR quickly picked up the ground defensesn, guns, MANPADS and MGs.
My alpha strike was enveloping the target and just about to launch bombs and missiles when suddenly a stream of MiGs took off from the airbase.
In the next melee I shot down 9 planes, lost 8, destroyed 7 primary targets and 4 air defence facilities. This was well short of the objective to destroy 8 primary ground targets and not lose more than 6 planes.
So I lost the game!
Nice small scen for those needing Alpha strike practice (like me)!
