Well its 2am and after a couple of false starts I achieved a major victory in CMANO # Hit Hard Hit Fast First a couple of tips that helped 1 Used the editor mode to determine which airbases had the most planes (I assumed the Israelis in real life would have had the same good intelligence). I couldn't get this info from the game setup and briefing 2. I listed all the planes and the ranges so that I could determine which planes would hit each airfield and sequence of take offs. 3. I focused more attacks on the enemy fields with higher number of planes. Anything with less than 30 planes on it I ignored. 4. I used strike land with several major changes to doctrine 4a - no strafing/always follow flight path 4b - changed all the weapons so that the only fired off 2-4 rounds per shooter depending if it was rockets/vs Bombs 4c - changed Targeting doctrine for land soft 4d Setup the attack so that there was always two attacks from different compass points a North/South or East/West axis 4e - moved the waypoints and set the IP/attack waypoint so that the pilots were free to attack without following the flight path from the IP 5 Threw up two waves of CAP over the Sinai 20 mins apart 6. Only attacked Hurghada in the south with one element of Vartours IIA.( I reserved the rest for attacking airfields in the Egyptian delta) 7. Did not send any of the AC up with penetrators - you only lose VP points when they get shot down for no appreciable gain since you cant destroy the runways to get VPs This scenario has literally consumed a month of my limited gaming time in December. I feel like I actually planned this offensive, I had excel files filled with data on airfields, number of enemy planes, experiments on multiple different attack options, ranges of Israeli different planes etc. Might have been a bit too complicated but I do have a real sense of satisfaction in completing this scenario.
