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.

He did well and was called upon for a commissioning and finally gets a chance to follow in the footsteps of his hometown hero.

You open up with your MGs, and bullets score multiple hits along his fuselage. The Hurricane Banks over, pouring smoke, and disappears through the clouds. You messed him up pretty badly, but you can't tell if its a kill (+5XP, no kill mark). The Second Hurricane abandons its pursuit of the Heinkels, and turns on you. It opens up with its MGs, and you take hits on your left wing joint (-5HP). It races past you, and you then:

A) Turn in pursuit
B) Stick with the Heinkels
C) Abandon the Heinkels, and head back to the channel (-20 fuel)

You turn in pursuit of the Hawker Hurricane. You fly among the clouds, and manage to take another hit from Flak (-5HP). You fly out from a cloud, and spy the Hurricane almost directly in front of you. You open up with your machineguns, scoreing several hits along its right wing. It attempts to evade you, and enters into a steep climb. Do you:

A) Go after it
B) Go back to the Bombers
C) Abandon everything

You abandon the chase, and return to the bombers. As you get near, you see one of the Dornier's Wing fly off, and it begins its long descent to the ground. The two Hurricanes are swarming all over the remaining Dorniers, and you head towards the nearest, opening up with some short burst from your MGs. You score a few hits, but now you've attracted BOTH of the Hurricane's attention. One is virtually unharmed, and the other (you just attacked) is giving out light smoke. Theres also the Hurricane that you just abandond. So you:

A) Charge at the 2 Hurricanes, Guns ablaze
B) Panic, and flee back to the channel
C) Flee, and try to find the lone Hurricane
D) Make Your Own Option!

You roll over into a dive, and aim your plane at the largest of the building that you can see. You release your bombs, and pull out. You hear to resounding BOOMs, and glance back to see a wall of flame where the building once was. However, you can also hear a siren sounding, and 3 109Es are beginning to take off. Do you:

A) Bank sharply and try and shoot them down
B) Flee
C) Continue attacking (strafe) the facilities
D) Make Your Own Option!

While the enemy planes are still taking off, Joseph dives down as quickly as possible to bomb the rest of the enemy planes to prevent any further enemies, then starts to accelerate and fly upwards.

Your quick reaction has allowded you to jumpright on his six! You open up with your MGs, and score a bunch of hits around his tail and fuselage. He suddenly pushes on the stick, and goes into a dive. Do you:

A) Follow after him
B) Go back to the bombers
C) Abandon everything

You release your final bomb, and watch as it falls. It barely misses one of the 109Es, but theres no explosion; its a dud. However, theres likely a sizable crater on the tarmac, making it harder to land on it. Now, you've got 3 severly pissed 109Es on your tail, and it doesn't look like there willing to talk. There not in range yet, but there closing in fast. Do you:

A) Try and take them on (you are harder to see, after all)
B) Flee, relying on your paint job to keep you safe

A) Continue with your climb
B) Stop climbing, and take on the Hurricane
C) Try and escape

He goes into a dive, and you start to follow him. You break through the cloud cover, and the whole of London rushes up to meet you. And so does the flak. You take multiple, indirect hits, and your plane shudders (-5HP). The Hurricane is still diving, and you let him have it with your MGs. A few make their mark, and then... BOOM! He explodes, and you gain your second kill (+10XP, one kill mark). The Flak continues to greet you, and you need to act quickly. Do you:

A) Go back into the cloud cover
B) Go back to the channel (-20 fuel)
C) Go back to the bombers
