GAZETTEER
Emergency Airfield: The Island of Vis, in the Adriatic Sea (Zone 3). (-2 landing modifier).
If a bomber has 150 or more Peckham Points it will be declared CAT-E. If it has 149 PP or less it will be repaired.
In either case the crew, and repairable bombers, will return to Giulia three days after the emergency landing.
Shot Down:
Over Water (if you didn't drown):
Zones 2 to 3: you are rescued by the Royal Navy
Over Land:
Over Hungary or Austria = POW
If you have to bailout over Yugoslavia roll 1d6 for each surviving Crew member.
1 Missing in Action (MIA) in the rugged mountains and never heard from again.
2-3 Captured by a German Patrol = POW.
4-6 Escaped aided by Partisans.
Escaped aided by Partisans: Two options:
1) Historical Option: When you return to Italy, your wounds will be treated, you will be debriefed and you will be sent back to the US. You know too much about the partisan locations, resources and operations.
2) Game Option: If you are really attached to a crewman, roll 2d6 and multiply that by the zone you are in. That is how many days it will take to get you back to the 509th.
