Okay, so I have made the following changes:
(a) Reduced the Bf 109 split limit from 6 to 4
(b) Dropped the Halifaxes to altitude 8
Note that the Manchesters stay in F8, as Gordon has confirmed.
If Elias (or anyone else) can get another playing done before
lunchtime tomorrow we might adjust the draw window a fraction.

A change in plans has given an opening this morning. Is there a
last deadline?

Elias, looks like Lee's planning to send the file to GMT at the
end of this afternoon. (He just posted there was about 10 hours
left before he uploads the file.)

One last minute thing to Heavy Mob: Gun Pods. No one has tried
using Gun Pods in this scenario? It might be a game breaker
since the low firepower is the limiting factor for the germans,
they would still have a positive modifier against the Spitfires
in most instances, and be at +3-+4 against the bombers even with
the pods. I don't think they had gun Pods in france in 1941.
Just to be safe we should forbid them.

Gun Pods are already forbidden in the scenario.
I have just finished all the non-book art and will be uploading
that soon. If there's time to do a final playthrough and check
the VP output, I can hold off uploading the book until much
later today.

1.0 (latest version)
Player: Elias Nordling (solo)
To make the most of this final playtest, it has lots of raw
data.
Despite the Escorts no longer being part of a large fomation,
the Germans were able to tally them, and there were only one
escort reaction in the game. All combats except that one were
fought at +2 or better for the Germans.
If you want to look for the luck factor, it is in the German
cohesion rolls. Also note the pitifully few British kill rolls.
Much fewer than in earlier playthroughs. By the end of turn 3,
there was only one Spitfire squadron left while only 1 german
squadron had quit and one was disrupted! In earlier playtests, i
have seen a much more even erosion of both forces. Since the
Germans were already winning, I allowed more friendly flak than
usual.
The one undisrupted british bomber rolled 11...
Attacks on bombers: 21

Final Score:

TOTAL 22
GERMAN MASSIVE WIN
Comment: I still think the score should go up a bit, I like the
changes, and I think this playthroughwas in ways more exteme
than the last, yet the score was lower, suggesting the
adjustments made have helped a bit.

That result gives us a new mean of 12.8. I agree that the draw
window should shift upward, possibly by 3 or more.
