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.

You push the stick and roll over, swooping just feet above the waves. It was a beautiful move, but now a Hurricane is right up you... Its machineguns open up, and you start to lose chunks out of your tail fins (-5HP). Your not in a very good position, as you can't get into a dive to escape the Hurricane (without going for a swim). So, you grab the stick and:

A) Pull up.
B) Go left, and head back out into the channel
C) Go right, and play chicken with the Cliffs of Dover

You pull on the stick and begin to climb up. You somehow manage to get be hind a Hurricane as it levels out from its dive. Looking beyond him, you see acepilot0 in a tight spot. You fire a quick burst at it, and you see some bullets hit around his right wing. He sees you know, and rolls over into another dive from about 5000 feet. Gripping the stick, you:

A) Dive after him
B) Go find some other prey
C) Dive, but help out acepilot0

You bank and gun the throttle at the cliffs. The Hurricane, seeing what you're doing, decides its best to break off the attack, in preservation of his plane (and life). You perform an immelmann, and are now facing the main area of teh dogfight. You see a Hurricane, and pull in behind it. Machineguns a'blaze, you let open with a terrific torrent of lead. As pings erupt along the fueslage, he jerks on the trigger, and begins to sharpely climb. Do you:

A) Climb up after him
B) Check your instruments (your damaged, after all)
C) Abandon him, and look for easier prey.
D) Make your Own Option!

As you climb into your plane, someone mentions that a major dogfight is happening over Dover Cliffs. You taxi onto the tarmac, and race down the runway. Lifting off, you have several destination options. Do you:

A) Head towards the Dogfight, and Dover Cliffs (-20 fuel)
B) Head on a patrol (-10 fuel)
C) Fly out towards Normandy, and German Airspace (-40 fuel)
D) Patrol the skies over London, for Bomber Crews

I check my instruments and climb after him, keeping an eye on my six for someone tailing me.

If I come out of the sun, they will be blinded and won't see me till it's too late.

You check your instruments, and notice that your fuel gauge pressure has dropped suddenly: one of your external fuel tanks has been hit (-30 fuel). As you begin to climb after your oponent, he continue to go straight up. You fire a few more burst, and score a few hits on his left wing. His engine begins to give off a light smoke trail, so you decide to:

A) Continue on after him
B) Break away, and dive down into the dogfight
C) Try and quickly solve the fuel tank problem

You bank, and with your back to the sun, head into the dogfight. You easily see the grey fueslage of a 109e chasing after a Hurricane, and several others Flitting around. Another 109 is following a Hurricane into a climb. Do you:

A) Help out the Climbing Hurricane
B) Help out the Followed Hurricane

You open up with your machineguns, and aim for the Wing-Joints. Your machineguns arn't very sychronized, and you end up only causing light damage. The Hurricane begins to bank left, and you:

A) follow after him
B) abort, and find a new quarry
C) head back to base (-40 fuel)
D) Make your own option
