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.

(GM: Interesting...)

You perform a verticle scissors maneuver, entering into a climb before rolling out of it. Your 109e excutes it well, although you almost stall out at the top of your climb. You've now forced the Hurricane to climb up after you, giving you the guns-high. DO you:

A) Dive down on him
B) Flee
C) Continue climbing
D) Make Your Own Option!

You flip your plane over, and dive down on the Hurricane. As you get closer, you open up on him with your 4 machineguns. Tracers eat into him, and his tail seperates from the rest of his fuselage. The pilot bails out, before the Plane crashes into the waves (+10XP, one kill mark). What do you do now?

A) continue on with the patrol (-10 fuel)
B) Head to Dover Cliffs (-15 fuel)
C) Head back to base (-20 fuel)
D) Head to London (-30 fuel)

As you fly in closer, a cloud drifts infront of the moon, cutting visiblitly down majorly. You turn on your radio, and try to message the UFOs. You get no reply, although this doesn't nessasairly mean anything; different frequencies, radio silence, etc, etc. You still haven't identafied them, but the sudden darkness had cut the accuracy of their fire. You decide to:

A) Fly up closer
B) Back off
C) Radio Fighter Command
D) Stay where you are

I'll be running my normal patrol, with a -10 fuel deduction.

You radio Fighter Command, and they soon respond:

"Uh... negative on friendlies in your sector. Radar reports these as Kraut Bombers, so don't bugger around when it comes to 'em..."

The radio cuts off, right as the cloud slids away from the moon. Your now alot closer to the Bombers, and the distance coupled with your wooden plane is not protecting much against their MGs (-8HP). (Probaly don't have to ask this, but...) What'cha gonna do (when they come for you *bad singing voice*):

A) Bring them down!
B) Flee
C) Radio in for reinforcements
D) Make Your Own Option!

He knows the words!

Anywho, you turn your plane into the hail of lead, and start shooting at the bombers. Theres three of them, and there in a loose triangle of sorts to provide covering fire to each other. Bullets start to graze you, and you hear their pings as they glance off (-5HP).

You orient towards the lead bomber, and let him have it. Soon, his cockpit catches fire, and he dives towards the sea, dissapearing with a spash. You fly past the 2 others, and give you a few parting shots (-2HP). Now what?

A) Head back
B) Continue with your patrol
C) Radio to Fighter Control
D) Make Your Own Option

You head on over to Dover Cliffs, and begin to patrol around their. You begin to patrol around for enemy planes, and its not long before two Hawker Hurricanes jump you. One hops directly onto your tail, and starts to shoot you up (-5HP). The other is hanging back for whatever reason... So you:

A) Dive away
B) Enter into a verticle climb
C) Try to bank left/right (signify which)
D) Make Your Own Option
