What is a scenario

Introduction

26,000 crew were killed in action during the 8th Air Force's WWII strategic bombing.  To put that in perspective, for all of WWII, the entire Marine Corps suffered 25,000 killed in action.  The entire Navy suffered 63,000 killed in action.

It was a bloody business.

One Bombardment Group in particular typified that aspect more than most:  the 100th Bombardment Group.

The Bloody Hundredth.

This year, a long-anticipated miniseries will run from late January into March.  A series like Band of Brothers, but about the USAAF.  It is based on the best-selling book Masters of the Air, which focuses on the Bloody Hundredth.  (Trailer here.)

And this year, running during the same time span, we will run an Aces High scenario focused on the bombing missions of the Bloody Hundredth.

High-altitude formations of B-17's, sweeping into Germany.  Escorted by P-47's and P-51's.  Fighting desperately though deadly groups of Bf 109's and FW 190's.  Fighting to pound the enemy into submission.

This will be an epic event.  Full of glory and excitement.

Come join us for the action.
