       Achk!!!   :o  What?  A mere 75 freakin' points for risking my
       neck and nearly dying and taking out three trucks in an enemy
       convoy?
       D'oh!
       Man, this damned mission was HARD (for me anyway)!  First off
       for some reason my CR-42 kept trying to kill me...it was horsey
       as hell, bucking around like a wild bronco and acting
       ill-tempered.  If I dropped my attention for a second it was
       peeling off into a sideways power dive and heading for the
       ground in a scream!  I duno', maybe my stick settings were
       acting up.  Anyway, so I fought that all the way to the
       target...got there and could NOT find the Rooskie supply
       convoy...oh wow.  Wow but the ground (and anything ON the
       ground) was next but impossible for me to see in that GREEN
       hellish tundra or whatever it is.  I couldn't see crap through
       the CR-42's tangle of wires/struts/wings/dashboard, etc... and
       of course the Russian's camo green paint blending in with the
       tundra didn't help either.
       I followed directions and flew back and forth several times
       along the route looking for the convoy...no dice...and was about
       to give up with I got my arse nearly shot off (I was VERY low by
       then) by a crazy deadly SPEW of those hell-greenish Rooskie
       tracers!  D'oh!   ??? :o :(
       Okay, FINALLY the Russian convoy located (but not the way I
       intended.)  I hauled my stick around in a super tight turn,
       almost too tight...and almost plowed into the ground again...got
       it under control and strafed the hell out of a Soviet truck at
       pointblank range with my light-as-hell toy
       machine-guns...ka-blooie up it went in flame and smoke.  One
       quick kill.
       I climbed fast as I could, got some good altitude CAREFULLY
       trying to keep the convoy in sight as they would blend in and
       near vanish every time I looked away for a half-second.    Came
       back around, picked my target again and screamed down in a power
       dive, dropping my bombs (almost too late) and fragging a couple
       more trucks.  Two more kills.  Then I swear but EVERY effin'
       Rooskie in the convoy decided to target me and I was like a bat
       caught in a dozen flashlights ….holes opened up in my wings,
       nose, all around me...[i]I was riddled with enemy fire.
       Trailing a thick plume of oil/smoke and petrol, I told my lads
       to cut out and did so myself as fast as my missing engine would
       get me out of there.
       Literally my engine cut out several miles from my base but the
       CR-42 had enough lift to get me to the end of the field and
       down.... bumpity, bumpity, bump...roll and I hammered the brakes
       and stopped.  My plane was shot to hell but I'd survived and
       nailed THREE enemy trucks when earlier on I'd been convinced I
       wouldn't get any.
       And got a lousy 75 point score for my trouble.   >:( >:( >:(
       I should have taken my bottle of brandy and slipped away into
       the woods and or behind a hanger to empty it, --I would have
       likely gotten more points for being drunk than for risking my
       life taking out THREE hard to kill (and find) enemy vehicles!
       Salute![/i]

       Mission Score:  230
       Misc. Info if desired: We got to the field and did our walk
       around and check our planes.
       All ok so we mounted up and took off. I got us lost for awhile
       as flying with a hang over is not a good thing.
       Once I got my bearings all was good .Weather was not bad and the
       wind was light.
       Once I spotted the convoy I made a pass over them to check for
       any machine guns .. Well  they had them. They just missed me and
       not by much.
       Got lined up for a bomb run. Had them all lined up and dropped
       my bombs .. Would have been nice if they hit just one but oh NO.
       I have no idea where they went .Darn sure was not at a truck.
       My two wingmen dropped thiers in the middle of the near by
       field.
       I guess they were trying to kill Gophers.
       We all got turned around and started shooting the trucks and
       tanks
       The wingmen did a great job as we wiped out the convoy not one
       truck was left.
       We all RTB safe and sound... Headed to the pub and some R&R..
       Do it all over again tomorrow .....

       Debrief
       Took off with two wingmen. Flew for about 13 minutes before
       spotting the convoy in clear weather. Dive bombed the road and
       missed. Forgot to order wingmen to attack. Swept in behind some
       trees and shot up the trucks but flew through a tree, misjudged
       the height and my left wing hit the ground. Spun in and died at
       zero feet. Should not have flown straight after a catnap!

       It has been a very entertaining mission, with a high risk of
       collision when flying low among the trees, but carefully, and
       containing my nerves and my bad habits, I was able to eliminate
       the objectives one by one. My mates killed themselves. Now that
       everything has happened, I am thinking of flying this mission in
       BAT, with a more complicated climate, and with the new and
       beautiful Dimon CR42-B. I think it will be a good experience.
       Thank you very much for these missions. Now is the time to
       prepare for twin engines, right?
       Regards

       Larsresult because of the CAT-NAP thingy I think you need a
       DO-OVER......Go  4 IT bud.... ;)

       Thank you Otto. Is that allowed. It was my own fault as I rushed
       into the mission.

       Excellent, E69_Haukka!  A wonderous score considering the
       difficulties I experienced with this mission.   ;D  I had so
       much trouble even seeing the enemy trucks let alone shooting
       them up...though I did get two with my bombs.  Those devilish
       vehicles seemed to blend 'right into the ground' for my old
       eyes!  G'ah!
       @ Lars....
       Sorry for your loss, my good friend.   :( :( :(
       I understand the catnap situation, my brain (and eyes) are like
       this most of the time, unfortunately.  D'oh!
       As to do-overs....
       guys unless we have a computer glitch that is beyond our control
       and messes up our mission/run... I can't see us doing do-overs.
       To be honest it's been personally hard for myself to 'not' do a
       few do-overs---if you get my drift on this.  But I resist
       because starting do-overs is an unstoppable human emotional
       crutch.  If I do one... and do not like the results, I'll more
       than likely do yet another, and another, and even another until
       I finally get the result (s) that I was hoping for initially.
       --Which these games being on Scout's Honor' with us having to
       trust each other to be fair... such an event wouldn't be fair to
       the rest of us that aren't doing such.  So... as tempting as it
       has been, I've resisted and will continue to resist.  After all,
       we come back to life the NEXT mission anyway which gives us all
       a chance to live again and correct any mistakes we've made with
       the new mission and gain back any lost scores by trying harder
       to do better.
       ;) ;D ;D
       This puts us more on an equal footing (via the honor system)
       where we all live, or we all die, the same way.  Then if we are
       killed we resurrect the NEXT mission to life and fight again.
       (though in my case that doesn't mean I'll actually do
       better...lol)  As hard as it is for me to put down my death and
       zero score for all to see, I cannot lay any blame on anyone for
       it other than myself.  So I take my licking and continue on
       determined to 'try' and do better (if that is possible for a
       near blind and often silly pilot like myself.  Ha!)
       I hope I'm making sense with this, and that if so, it is
       agreeable to you all.
       S!  :D
       Beo

       Thanks, friends, for the concepts. This mission was very good
       for me, but it is not the result of chance, but of preparation.
       Excuse me if I sound pretentious, it is not my intention. In the
       past I have studied together with friends the best way to do
       this type of "work", and over time and practice a method is
       developed, which sometimes works and sometimes does not, but
       always gives us a sense of order.
       Nor is it the first time I do this, I have done it before, at
       the first attempt, of course.

       Unfortunately I am at a serious disadvantage with the language,
       so some of your expressions get lost when they pass through the
       translator filter. But I am very good at reading between the
       lines, I have developed intuition, like all of you, and I think
       I begin to understand.
       I don't know what "do-overs" are, the translator says they are
       "pending tasks", but I think you are talking about repetitions.
       Repetitions of missions when they do not go well.
       Friends, like everyone here, I am committed to You by an oath of
       honor. I've done it with myself too. And it is not an effort for
       me, it is natural. I am aware that the result I have presented
       from this last mission may invite you to think that I have done
       it several times until I have done it well. I'm sorry, I don't
       have time for that. The mission has lasted an hour. Then, I have
       seen the track (record) to take the times of each event and I
       have taken the photographs, I have written the brief, I have
       translated it into your language, I have reviewed it to see that
       everything is correct (within my possibilities), I have ordered
       the information and I have published it, all this, in a relaxed
       holiday afternoon, has taken me three more hours. After
       publishing the result it was time for dinner. I have no time,
       nor the desire to gain an advantage over anyone, by abnormal
       means. I fly my missions with maximum difficulty. I take note of
       waipoints, flight directions and places in a paper notebook. Not
       much more to say. Sometimes I do things well, sometimes very
       badly. I'm lousy leaving an entire plane on the deck of a
       carrier, I almost always break it. But I have a lot of
       experience with biplanes, and to CR42 I have flown it many times
       in the past, that is my advantage.
       In the mission report I have attached the track (record). I have
       learned a lot from watching the records of others, I invite you
       to see my record, not with the pretense of teaching you, but to
       see at what point you can improve what you are already doing.
       *****************************
       Mr. Lars, I have hit trees thousands of times. To be very
       honest, I think I also have the record of crashes against trees
       this week, last weekend I was flying a Vonofterdingen mission
       with Trojan in Vietnam, a very good mission, well set, and the
       plane is beautiful, but I am extremely clumsy with that
       plane:[font=Verdana]: I flew the mission (I tried) thirty times
       exact, ten in BAT and twenty in VP Modpack, and thirty times I
       hit the trees, not once have I returned home! I doubt any of you
       can beat me on this! Still I have 30 well done takeoffs
       ...[/font]
       Regards
