Creator's note:

This is a European-based sequel(?) to my previous 2 RPGs of the same name. I have drastically changed the storyies, ideas, etc, and this is the improved version. I WILL NOT be testing out ideas, so treat this seriously! Also, please enjoy.

Thanks,
Maverick4

British Royal Airforce (RAF) Story:

The British Warmachine is in throes after the ingloriious rout at Dunkirt. Bruised and battered, but not beaten, you prepare for your new assignment: protect Britain from the inevitable assault that will surely come from the Kraut hordes. As leaflets of Hitlers 'Appeal to Reason' rain down, you are filled with a new resolve to win, at any and all cost.

German Luftwaffe Story:

Operation: SeaLion, the plan to invade the British Isles, is now in effect. Your mission? Destroy the RAF. The German Army has already sent it realing. In the words of The Fuhrer '...selected by the fates to deal the final blow to the structure which these men (Churchhill and CO.) have already set tottering...". End. Them. Now.

Both Sides:

Your goal throughout the entire campaign will be in the role as a fighter-pilot. For the RAF, this means defending their homeland. For teh Luftwaft, this includes destroying the RAF and protecting the Bombers from attack as they progress to London and other British Cities.

Perks
British Royal Air Force (RAF) Perks:

RADAR: Your character can 'see' enemy planes and formations sooner.

Self-Sealing Fuel Tanks: If your fuel tanks are hight, less fuel will be lost.

Fisherman-Friend: If you go down, a friendly fisherman will be there to pick you up.

Exaust Covers: Your exaust pipes are covered, making you harder to see at night

Reflector Sight: Your guns are more accurate, due to your upgrade from the WWI-Era tube sight.

E-MARE-IH-CAN: Americans have come to help the war-effort: Your plane is repaired faster.

German Luftwaffe Perks:

Daschund-Belly: You have an extra fuel tank on your plane belly; your plane uses fuel more economically

Red-Cross Buoy: If you go down, a 'Swiss' AID buoy is always nearby.

Self-Sealing Fuel Tanks: If your fuel tanks are hit, you'll loose less fuel.

Londra: Italians have given you additional training; you do more damage.

Size DOES Matter: Luftwaffe's size is on your side: your plane is repaired faster.

Pure Race: Your eyesight is exceptionally good: your guns are more accurate.
__________
A few notes:

1. There will always be one choice out of four or five in which you die or get wounded. If you happen to choose that one, don't worry, I'll give you the option to parachute out a total of 3 times. After that, it's game over. War is hell, and people die.

2. You may have noticed the Armor/Fuel tabs. These can be your best friend, or your worst enemy. More fuel means you can out run the enemy in dire situations, but more armor means you can take less damage. Play to your strengths, because the enemy plays to your weaknesses.

4. Remember that you are not limited to the choices I give you. There will almost always be an answer marked "Other," where you can do something different or even do two actions I've given you, provided they don't contradict. Surprise me with your tactical skill! If you are especially creative, you may be rewarded with a new weapon or even a perk.
__________

Good-luck.

You kill the throttle, throw the awe right, then push the throttle forward, efectivly sliding around 180 degrees. One of the 109Es overshoots you, and the second one is lined rightup on your sights. You open up with your machineguns, and begin to take aim. You put some lead right into his Engine BLock (Reflector Sight). It explodes, (+10XP, one kill mark), but his debree clould hits you head on, blowing out your glass panes in your cockpit, and causing some light damage (-5HP). The third 109E sees you from the MG flashes, and opens up on you (-5HP), before speeding past. Do you:

A) Turn in pursuit
B) Flee while there behind you
C) Strafe the Airfield

You go into the cloud cover, and the Flak soon stops. You take the time to assess your damage, and notice that your engine is starting to heat up... You've lost the Hurricanes, but you've also lost your bombers. Now what?

A) Try and find the bombers
B) Try and find the Hurricanes
C) Head back to base

You turn into pursuit, and follow the third 109E. You've lost the first 109E. The 109 your following begins to dive, and you:

For all intensive purposes, than B). Post your choice/letter, pl0x?

You loop around and meet the Hurricane Face on. Litterally. You manage to ram the Hurricane, shearing off one of its wings (-15HP)(+10XP, one kill mark). However, your propellors are bent, and your engine is starting to cough and spew out some oily smoke. You need to leave. Now. Your choice though, so you:

A) Play up, play up, and play the game (continue fighting, -10 Fuel)
B) Head back to your base (-40 fuel)
C) Heeheehee, do it again!

You start to follow him, but your not exactly sure where he is... Then, a 109E does a roaring passover, and strafes you right at your rightwing, through the engine, cockpit, left engine, than out your left wing (-10HP). You look at your instruments, only to find oil leaking through... After a few moments, you don't hear anything; it was obviously a chance encounter. The sun is starting to come up, so:

A) Continue looking for 109Es (-10 fuel)
B) Head back to base (-40fuel)
C) Make your own option

.303 was the RAFs MG, so... I switched it to 4 MG 17s. And about your wingman, hes always at base, and you can call in for him, or have him come with you. Pros/Cons to each, so I'll let you figure them out...

You wheel your plane over, and begin to head back to base (40 fuel). Your return is unevenful, and you arrive with the rising sun. You find your base got attacked though... *glares pointedly...*, and the airstrip is largely unsearvicable. After a forced landing in a nearby field, you talk to the quarter master:
