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,

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.

I'll take a sudden height in elevation, a turn-around, and then concentrate fire on one of the injured bombers in a dive.

You begin to climb, then turn back at the bombers before entering into a short dive. All the time, the bombers are haressing you with their machineguns, scoring small amounts of damage (-5HP). You begin to fire on the smoking bomber, and watch as your fire 'clips his wings'. He nose dives, and spashes into the Channel below (+10xp, one kill).

You tell your wingman your plan, and soon put it into action. Its very effective; the RAF Bombers have no idea who to attack, where they are, or just whos attacking them. You've given off the appearence of a larger force. Coupled with the inexperience of the RAF Bombers, and the results are good:

2 shared kills, totaling to: One kill, 10 xp. Ace! Level-up!

You've taken some light damage, though (-5HP), and the bombers are starting to group together.

Just noticed, but you should be level 3, SirNoobalot. Not 2, 3.

5! Hehe...

You fly out to the Cliffs of Dover (-25 fuel). Theres a full moon up in the sky, and some slight fog at lower elevations. A group of Bombers, heading towards London, flys infront of the moon, casting shadows on the water. There to far away for a positive ID...

Attack bombers towards the center of forming groups and spray as many as possible to terrorize them.

You perform a few passes, spraying wildely to terrorize the group. The inexperience of the Brits shows; the group begins to break apart as the individual planes try to escape.
