Gordon and Andrew, would it be possible for you to move onto the
campaign now? (Assuming Gordon has any spare time.)

Scenario: L21 Budapest Besieged.
Version: v0.4.
Playtester: Scott Spencer(solo)
Report: The Yak sweep squadrons did a good job tying up both
Hungarian 109 squadrons and even managed to delay a German 109
squadron from getting to the Stukas before they bombed. The
Pe-2s barely failed to suppress the Flak C, scoring three hits.
This enabled the flak to take just enough edge off of the Stuka
bombing to prevent severe damage. As it was, eight hits were
scored on the bridge. Russians downed nine 109s(six Hungarian)
for 9 VP, eight bridge hits for 10 VP, and three flak hits for 1
VP. Germans downed five Yaks, two Pe-2s, and nine Stukas for 18
VP.
Victory: Russian 20 VP less German 18 VP = +2 German Victory.
Felt like - Draw.
Recommendations: None. I think this is Beta ready.

Great! I'll mark that off, then. Can I ask you to please take a
look at L22 Black Day Over the Ore Mountains? I could do with a
final look to check the recent changes.

Game 1
v0.4
Solo
Soviet veteran in PE2, green in Yak escort,
experte in Yak sweep.
Axis veteran and experte in G10/U4, green in
Hungarian G-6
FLAK- deadly, 2 x PE 2 (until it was suppressed)
BOMBING- 7 points (2 vp for FLAK; 5 vp for
bridge)
LOSSES- 4 x Me 109
4 points
5 x Pe 2 (2 from flak)
2 x Ju87
12 points
VICTORY- 11-12 (-1 Axis victory, felt like Axis
victory)
Yak pilots in 1 squadron on top
cover sweep were blind, couldn't tally, allowed Axis to jump on
Pe-2's and Ju 87's. Hungarian green over performed, Yaks under
performed. I didn't do any splitting with the Axis. Bombing
could have been better, although 1 Ju 87 was broken when it
dropped.
Lt Flak C is a handy flak unit to
play with. The G10/U4's are deadly with an experte. Some assets
for each side to mess around with.
Points wise, the spread looks to pretty good, if you can get 12
vp from bombing and just 3 points in difference for losses, the
Rom/Sovs will win. No recommendations for now, want to run this
again.

Game 2
v.04
Solo
Soviet veteran and experte in top Yak, green
in Yak escort
German vet and experte in G10/U4
Green in Hungarian Me 109
No height errors
FLAK= deadly again 1 x Pe2 and 2 Ju 87;
affected all 4 bomb drops
BOMBING- atrocious, 1 vp for FLAK, 1 vp for
bridge (Hungarian green 109 was heroic, disrupted both Pe 2's
before they dropped)
LOSSES- 1 x Pe 2 (flak)
9 x Ju 87 (8 losses alone on
lead Ju 87- one from being eliminated- a personal record of 5
kills in one combat by G10/U4 with experte)
4 x Yak
15 vp
2 x 109
2 points
VICTORY- 4- 15 (-11 for Axis victory- felt
like Axis victory)
Game is probably an outlier,
poor cohesion rolls for Pe 2 squadrons, high combat rolls for
Axis and green Hungarian over performing again. Would like to
re-run with a max protect package for Soviets, stacking top
sweeps a little lower than what I have been. It may be the
Soviets need another veteran to allow a vet in 1 bomber and then
a Yak. Run through again.

Game 3
v 0.4
vet in lead Ju 87, green in escort, experte in Yak
sweep
green in Hungarian, vet and experte in G10/U4
No height errors
FLAK- effective again (2 x Pe 2)
BOMBING- 2 vp for FLAK, 20 vp for the bridge (had
to strafe the FLAK unit with Pe 2's and the bridge with Pe 2's
and Stukas)
LOSSES- 3 x Pe-2 (2 from FLAK)
3 x Ju 87
6 x YAK
15 points
7 x 109
7 points
VICTORY- 29-15 (+14 for Allied victory) Felt like
Allied victory
Allies had to work really hard to get all the
bombing points. Yaks able to prevent a Stuka party this time
around. It took 3 strafing runs before I got the final hit on
the bridge. All Axis were broke after turn 5, allowed bombers
free passes strafing at the bridge except for the small arms
barrages from the troops. One Yak was able to farm a broke 109
for 3 points or so at end of game. Take away 1 hit off the
bridge and this would have been a draw. The vet in a Stuka paid
off big time.
So I've had an Axis win, Allied win and a draw
after 3 plays. So point spread looks good or just calibrated a
bit. The OOB looks good, Allies will have to think a little bit
what to do with their veteran.

Okay, VP outputs for the last the last 5 plays are:
Allied bombing - 21 + 11 + 7 + 2 + 22 = mean 12.6
Axis losses - 5 + 9 + 4 + 2 + 7 = mean 5.4
Allied losses - 20 + 18 + 12 + 15 + 15 = mean 16.0
This gives us a mean output of +2, which suggests the draw
window needs to move down a bit.
Gordon/Andrew 3 - +6
Scott 1 - +2
Forrest 1 - -1
Forrest 2 - -11
Forrest 3 - +14
Most of the swings happen around bombing, which is fine. The
attacker needs to work to get the results.
I’m tempted to put a fork in this one, and mark it as Beta,
though adjust the draw window down to +1 to +3, which would put
Scott’s play into the draw column, which was where he perceived
it to be.
Good work, Forrest. Could you please move on to L03 Falcons Over
France. I need a few plays in the current configuration to sign
that one off.
