Bats Over England

WEATHER: Niteowl
INSERTS: None
MIN.TIME: None
RADAR: FuG 244 "Bremen" (map usable)

By late 1944, the Germans had
completely given up making intru-
der sorties over Bomber Command
bases in Britain. This was unfor-
tunate, because such missions could
disrupt bomber take-off schedules
and even destroy aircraft on the
ground. But, by late 1944, the
Mosquito had made such endeavors
too costly.
The Go229B, had it seen service, could
have restored the ability to conduct
these missions. I have given the Go229B
the bombload of the Go229 (2 x 2205-lb.
bomb) because the B-model could certain-
ly have carried this load, and most
likely would have had it ever been as-
signed intruder missions. In this role
it could have been virtually uninter-
ceptable.
ORDERS: Fly top cover for a rotte of
fellow Go229Bs as they attack a Bomber
Command airfield. Engage any Mosquitos
which attempt to intercept.
