Current or Next Scenario
The Bunker Busters
an Aces High Scenario
Registration to open 1st week September.
Through most of the war, hardened German targets had proven nearly impervious to conventional attacks. But starting after mid 1944, a new British weapon appeared: the Tallboy -- a 12,000 lb, 21 ft long “earthquake bomb”. It was designed to drop from high altitude, attain a high terminal velocity, penetrate deep into earth, rock, or concrete, then detonate to create a gigantic crater, demolishing the target’s structure.
Tallboy missions, using specially modified Lancasters, were flown against u-boat pens, e-boat pens, V-1 bunkers, viaducts, dams, and tunnels, at locations ranging from the coast of France, to coastal Germany and the Baltic, to the fjords of Norway.
In the same time frame, rocket-armed Mosquitoes were ranging around coastal areas from France to Norway and the Baltic, attacking shipping, u-boats, and related facilities.
Now it’s time for a collection of late-war action of Tallboy-armed Lancasters and RP-armed Mosquitos going after the last refuge of the Luftwaffe, specifically northern Germany.
With Spitfire XIV’s, Mustang IV’s, Lancasters, and Mosquito VI’s vs. late-war Bf 109K’s and FW 190D’s.
