Doolitle raid in WitP AE - 7/4/2020 1:08:02 AM

I've browsed through the posts here and found nothing on the subject:

Is it possible to simulate the Doolittle raid down here in WitP AE?
Meaning, having B-25s take-off from a carrier close to Japan and land somewhere else in China or Russia?

I've seen some B-25 squads in the West Coast but there seems to be no way of making them "carrier capable" and trained for that.


Thanks!

It would have entailed a lot of work for a small return for the developers.

While the squadron wouldn't be able to land a different base after bombing their target, you could use a house rule where you get 1 raid with them and then disband the squadron.

If she's grown a beard and is wearing coconut shells for a bra you would lose PPs.

Is this a trick question? A spice has nothing on a yacht in service of the US Navy in the defence of the Philippines.

Not a trick question. It has been asked by many young men and many young men have answered it. Of course, you have to understand the question and its importance.

I get the Gilligan's Island cast confused with the Lost in Space cast.

It's intended you withdraw them soon after.

I've played LST's mod through the available window for the B-25 CV raiders four or five times...once in a PBEM but have never been in a good position to pull of the raid. Has anyone?

Oh, and yeah, Mary Ann +1...

@GeoffLambert,

I’ve tried to get a hold of Amelia early in the game but when the Japs invaded the Gilberts, she was all gone for good!


@Shellshock

And...wow, what a Mary Ann!!! +1 with no doubt!

Sounds like it's another slam dunk for Mary Ann.

Hopefully, Ginger's departure will be merseyful and quiicckkk.
