I doesn't really matter which if any of the MIG-21s survive, so it doesn't matter who fires at what plane. And yeah, two sparrows each.

Okay then!

Showtime:

1, 9 = MiG destroyed

Poco:

5, 8 = MiG destroyed

Buick:

8, 5 = MiG destroyed

That's those puppies out of the way then.

Excellent planning and teamwork!

I was kind of worried when all those Bandits showed up.

Good job guys! Now Barbarian may fire his AIM-7s and then we fly into the Western approach zone, where all I do is fire two rockets at one of the S-60s with Easy Money.

No sites and bandits can attack us this turn. Anyone launching rockets or other AtG ordinance?

Assuming not, are we all closing up the turn moving into the west approach, after Barbarian has a pop at a MiG-19?

Glad we've got easy money on board

Wait, Barbarian still needs to fire his Sparrows. Then we move together.

Barbarian:

8, 4 = dead MiG

Great start!

Will follow up with some new graphics for the board position on Monday.

Okay, continuing with the text we're now all in the Western Approach, which we're sharing with 2 MiG-17's and a MiG-19.

So this round for fast attacks we've got Easy Money firing 2 rockets at an S-60, and our three fast AtA pilots firing two sidewinders each at the remaining MiG's, right?

Showtime's out of AIMs. He'll fire two rockets at the other S-60.

OK

Easy Money vs S-60:

5, 10 = dead S-60

Showtime vs S-60:

5, 6 = dead S-60, just scraped in with +1 AtG

Poco vs MiG-19:

1, 3 = Miss! Our first failure.

Buick vs MiG-19:

2, 9 = dead MiG

Hang on a second...by my count, there should be one MiG-21 and one MiG-19 in the center, and only one MiG-17 in the West. Which means there's one dead MiG-21 now.

Remaining sites now fire at us. We're staring down two MiG's and some infantry, all at -1 thanks to lovely easy money.

MiG-19 targets: Driver

MiG-17 targets: Easy Money

Infantry targets: Midas

Anyone want to supress/evade? I think Midas can take the pain - he's hardly mission essential after all, and I'd rather not spend 2 stress to try and avoid 1 stress

Wait, did you see my message above about the MiGs?

Ah crap. Let's say Poco attacked the MiG-21 because it's the more dangerous plane and he's the better pilot.

North: Mig-21 & MiG-19
East: MiG-21 & MiG-17
South: MiG-21 & MiG-17
West: None
Center: Mig-21

That's 4 x MiG-21, 2x MiG-17 and 1xMiG-19 right?

On turn 1 we had 4 successful AtA hits which would be against the 4 MiG-21's.

This turn we've got 2 AtA attempts, 1 success, which leaves 1 MiG-19 and 1 MiG-17, right?
