ChefEd: Apparently he was a walking, talking Rabbit's Foot. Nov 7, 2024 15:10:46 GMT -8
crushedhat: Looks like Maj Garfield got reassigned just in time. Nov 7, 2024 14:15:55 GMT -8
ChefEd: Bummer. Dice gods weren't friendly today. Nov 6, 2024 16:39:55 GMT -8
crushedhat: While everyone's chute worked, even the pilot rolling on Table 7-4, Note H on both Tables 7-3 & 7-4 gives only a 25% chance of surviving. No one made the 25% roll. Nov 6, 2024 16:02:02 GMT -8 *
crushedhat: Initial roll for Mechanical Failure was 02. Then a 28 on Table 4-3c, followed by a 1D10 roll (note C) of 10. Looking at Table 7-2, with a -5 for no engines and -4 for bombs onboard, I figured the crew had a better chance bailing out. Nov 6, 2024 16:00:59 GMT -8 *
ChefEd: , Out of curiosity, did you roll to see if it was regulator failure as opposed to mechanical failure? Nov 6, 2024 15:18:45 GMT -8
crushedhat: Hell's Fury, 78th, lost with entire crew Zone 2 OB due to simultaneous failure of all 4 turbo-superchargers. Nov 6, 2024 15:06:45 GMT -8
eddie: Miss Behavin is back at base. Hoping Bomb Assessment confirms but our Bombardier swears he really nailed the target! If he did it right, maybe we won't have to go back. Otherwise, no injuries, the best part, and! another dead enemy pilot. Nov 4, 2024 20:35:16 GMT -8
limburger59: Would Major Robinson recommend LT Ryland of the Lucky Patch for a DFC. I will look forward to confirming the honor. Nov 2, 2024 17:31:09 GMT -8
ninthaquila: Mission 33, 79th BS: Lonesome Lola takes over TEC position in return Zone 12 Nov 2, 2024 11:08:15 GMT -8
GaryK: Full AAR up for Lucky Patch. Get a coffee and a snack - it's a long one! Nov 2, 2024 6:07:22 GMT -8
GaryK: Lucky Patch flies her most dramatic mission yet. She is seen breaking formation on egress from the target zone - no radio call given for the reason, but #4 engine feathered. Someone will need to drop back and cover the tail end of the 79th. Oct 31, 2024 8:22:56 GMT -8 *
rhreiss: Mission 33 79th BS Zone 2 outbound Easter Buddy leaves formation with engine fire. Oct 29, 2024 13:51:44 GMT -8
