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.

True. But I like to keep things simple, and I don't believe they did in large enough numbers to make a significant impact.

They fought with the brits and did more than enough until they retook poland.

I'm not saying that there unimportant, I'm saying that there were too few of them to make any significant impact. Much like Tiger Tanks, to use the same era.

You turn your plane around, and open the throttle to head back towards your airfield (-40 Fuel). As you near the airstrip, your engine dies with a cough. Its crucial that you land, but you could just as easily crash into the hillside. As you make your final approach from 3000 feet away. You put down your landing gear, and you decide to:

A) Ditch, and open your parachute (-1 life)
B) Go full flaps, and glide in.
C) Continue on your same course, and land.
D) Lower your flaps, and come in as slow and steady as possible.

You lower your flaps, and begin your approach. After several tense moments, you touchdown on the tarmac, barely missing the pre-field. You taxi over to the tarmac, and refit and refuel (wait 3 AG Hours)

***Decided to make refitting/refueling take hours, rather than a day. Just to make things faster for the RPG***

You lead your flight squadron around the base, but not much happens (youre in a heavily secured area, try searching closer to England or the Coast). Your squadron (4, including you), burns up 10 fuel in the process. You decide to lead your squadron to:

A) London (-40 fuel)
B) Dover Cliffs (-30 fuel)
C) Over the Channel (-20 fuel)
D) Make your own option

You signal to your squadron(3), and procede to fly towards Dover Cliffs, and British Flyspace (-30 fuel). You only can stay a short time, before you head back to base to refuel. You think, and then order your squadron to:

A) Stack up, you at the bottom
B) Stack down, you at the top
C) Fly in a diamond
D) Don't form a group, just fly

Stacking up/down is when a plane flys behind the one in front. Stacking up means it flys above and behind, stacking down means it flys behind and below.

Both formations are in a line, and both have their cons/pros. Let you figure them out. I you don't feel too good about either, you can always pick something else...
