I’ve been a bit stumped when it comes to developing the Luftwaffe aspect of the Bag the Hun scenario, although I haven’t really had the time to do enough detailed research. I have some aspects covered, however, including the type, number and formation of aircraft involved. There will be eight FW190-A4’s of III/JG2 in two Schwarm finger four formations, both of which will enter simultaneously from the southern short table edge, probably in Turn 2 or Turn 3. The exact Staffeln is a bit of a grey area but I have been thinking of 9./JG2, which was based in Vannes and operated over the Channel in the Spring of 1943. 

Ideally, I’d have a unit located closer to Cherbourg or Morlaix, but I have seen evidence that clearly places 9./JG2 over the Channel Islands area at the time, primarily in the form of combat losses and missing pilot reports. It doesn’t really matter, to be perfectly honest, as unless you are a Luftwaffe nut you’d probably not know which unit was where or even care! I like to get things at least close to historical accuracy, however, even if the actual scenario is a ‚what if?‘ encounter. I also need to narrow down some suitably experienced pilots to use as the Schwarm leaders and for the character cards, although none more experienced than a Junior Ace in order not to swing the scenario too far one way.
