Both the Fulmars and Blenheims are to get to Rethymno airfield as quickly as possible. The axis forces have now based a lot of a/c on this airfield and we need to destroy them before axis fighters arrive.


@Uross/Mornar

I dont think I can fly tonight so please coordinate our efforts in mission, our ship CAPs need only be in place for 60-90mins (dependant on enemy activity) so asses the situation and call the CAP forces to Crete when necesary.

THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT THE LAST MINUTE WHEN I KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY PILOTS WE HAVE.



Further briefing info.

All flights to fully read the ingame brief which provides more information.

IAF Rethymno Attack.
You must rush the airfield to attack it as quickly as possible before axis fighters turn up. The priority targets on the airfield are Ju87s and Cr.42s. If a lot of AAA is present then abandon the attack and move to the second objective. The second objective is to move to Sphakion and cover our evacuation port.

102nd Maleme/Souda CAP
There are two fully loaded supply columns carrying multiple platoons of infantry from Souda down to Sphakion so they can be evacuated. These vehicle convoys must be protected at all costs.
