Hi Lee,
this a fun and suspenseful scenario.
Scenario: S31 Apache Marauders - Test 01
Version: v0.2
Playtester: Jean Foisy [Solo]
Report:
I/JG53 was to engage the bombers ASAP while II Gruppe take care
of the escorts.
The US sent the Marauders at Level 1 under the clouds to try to
defeat the Higher Germans.
They succeeded easily and their escorts engaged the lower
Germans while the II Gruppe finally succeeded in changing the
vector to a lower altitude.
But the escorting Apache squadrons were unable to stop the
enemy.
The Marauders ordeal started losing 10 of their own but most of
those losses happened after the bombing.
The high flying 109s were too late to affect the bombing.
Victory:
US bombing:
-13 hits vs Railhead(Crippling Damage) for 20 VPs
US enemies shot down: 3 VPs (3 x 109G)
US TOTAL= 23 VPs
German enemies shot down: 21 VPs (10 x B-26C and 1 X Apache)
GERMAN TOTAL= 21 VPs
Scenario TOTAL: 2 VPs; --> Draw [Perceived Victory Level:
Germans.
With all the Marauders downed it seemed to me that the Germans
would win until I added the VPs. That was quite a surptise.]
Recommendations: None, seems quite balanced. I'll redo another
one in the next few days.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I miscalculated the US VPs. It's 12 VPs not 20.
It should read:
Victory:
US bombing:
-13 hits vs Railhead(Crippling Damage) for 12 VPs not 20!!!
US enemies shot down: 3 VPs (3 x 109G)
US TOTAL= 15 VPs
German enemies shot down: 21 VPs (10 x B-26C and 1 X Apache)
GERMAN TOTAL= 21 VPs
Scenario TOTAL: -6 VPs; --> German win [Perceived Victory Level:
Germans.]
Remember, I wrote:
"With all the Marauders downed it seemed to me that the Germans
would win until I added the VPs. That was quite a surprise."
No longer a surpise!!!
Sorry.

Scenario: S31 Apache Marauders - Test 02
Version: v0.2
Playtesters: Jean Foisy [Solo]
Report:
All the Germans Gruppe are tasked to reach the bombers ASAP;
brusing aside the escorts.
The game was quite quiet with low rolls for the duration.
I placed the Veteran Bomber Squadron last.
This way the Germans fighters and flak will hit the first
bombers and hopefully the veteran will get the +1 bombing bonus.
It worked giving enough Hits on the Railhead to cause Heavy
Damage.
Victory:
US bombing:
-10 hits vs Railhead(Heavy Damage) for 6 VPs
US enemies shot down: 5 VPs (5 x 109G)
US TOTAL= 11 VPs
German enemies shot down: 9 VPs (2 x B-26C and 5 X Apache)
GERMAN TOTAL= 9 VPs
Scenario TOTAL: 2 VPs; --> Draw [Perceived Victory Level: US
with so few Bombers downed.]
Recommendations: None, seems quite balanced
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------
NB: writing this I realized I erred in the VP calculations for
my test #01.
It should read:
Victory:
US bombing:
-13 hits vs Railhead(Crippling Damage) for 12 VPs not 20!!!
US enemies shot down: 3 VPs (3 x 109G)
US TOTAL= 15 VPs
German enemies shot down: 21 VPs (10 x B-26C and 1 X Apache)
GERMAN TOTAL= 21 VPs
Scenario TOTAL: -6 VPs; --> German win [Perceived Victory Level:
Germans.]

Scenario: S31 Apache Marauders - Test 03
Version: v0.2
Playtesters: Jean Foisy [Solo]
Report:
All the Germans Gruppe are tasked to reach the bombers ASAP;
brusing aside the escorts.
The game was quite quiet with low rolls for the duration.
US escort engaged the Interceptors early but downed only one Me.
Both Wing Co got disrupted in the ensuing fight.
Flak Barrages were inefective, while the bombing was poor for
the first two bombers(2H total),
the last bomber squadron(Vet) got 9H on the target.
Victory:
US bombing:
11 hits vs Railhead(Heavy Damage) for 10 VPs
US enemies shot down: 1 VP (1 x 109G)
US TOTAL= 11 VPs
German enemies shot down: 9 VPs (2 x B-26C and 5 X Apache)
GERMAN TOTAL= 9 VPs
Scenario TOTAL: 2 VPs; --> Draw [Perceived Victory Level: Hard
to tell all the crews seems to have forgotten their Benzedrine!]
Recommendations: None, seems quite balanced
Best.

Jean, I have the railhead VP values as 10 VPs, so your results
for that should be multiples of 10, not 6.
Okay, so after three tests we have the following VP outputs:
US Bombing: 20 + 10 + 10 = 10.3
German losses: 3 + 5 + 1 = 3.0
US losses: 21 + 9 + 9 = 13.0
Mean VP outputs are +0.3.
Jean, I’ll move you off this scenario and move someone else on.
Forrest, could you please give this one a go?

Lee,
you're right about the 10VPs for the Railhead.
Sorry.
So, 1st test was a Draw (US:23, Ger:21)
2nd test was a American Victory (US:15, Ger:9)
3rd test was a Draw (US:11, Ger:9)
As for another scenario I have now lot of free time.
Turn around should faster.
Best.
