Nick, Nate, and Lily Meet the Tigers
Flying Tigers Scenario 19
Background: 6 a.m. Friday June 12, 1942, Guilin, China
Chennault scheduled reveille for 3 a.m. Two hours later, his pilots were hunched over their cribbage boards when the usual scout came over the field. Who needed a warning net when the Japanese were so obliging as to telegraph their raids? The Adams & Eves ran for their planes, took off, and climbed to the positions Chennault had assigned them: George Burgard’s flight at 21,000 feet, Bob Neale’s at 18,000, and Charlie Bond’s at 15,000, circling like hawks to the west of Guilin. It was just before 6 a.m. on Friday, June 12.
Map:
1-EILRAHC 1-EGROEG
DOG-2 1-YSAE
Map Setup Notes:
1. Town on Charlie-2 is the airfield.
2. Mountains on Fox-1 and Dog-2 are in play.
Victory Conditions
American: Shoot down the Japanese.
Japanese: Exit one plane off the border of Easy-1
SCENARIO RULES
1. One Ki-45 with an Ace crashes in mountains.
2. One Ki-27 crashes in mountains.
3. Both shot down by Burgard.
6 TURNS
Japanese set up first
Elements of the 1st Squadron AVG IJAAF Elements of the 90th Sentai
Two P-40C (Flight lead-Ace-Burgard) Two Ki-48 Lily-Veteran crew
(Veteran-Bartling) Set-up southeast edge of Dog-2 at 16,500 ft-Bomb airfield
Set-up on western edge of Charlie-1 at 21,000 ft. Elements of the 54th Sentai
Two P-40E (Flight lead-Veteran-Bond) Two Ki-27 Nate-Veteran pilots flying escort at 12,000 ft.
(Average-Rosbert) Set-up southeast edge of Dog-2
Set-up on western edge of Charlie-1 at 15,000 ft. Elements of the Nagano Force
Two P-40E (Flight lead-Ace-Neale) Two Ki-45 Toryu (Flight lead-Ace-Ieiro)- Flying top cover
(Veteran-Dean) (Veteran)
Set-up on western edge of Charlie-1 at 18,000 ft Set-up southeast edge of Dog-2
Aftermath
Altogether, the Adam & Eves claimed nine Japanese planes that Friday, attributed to George Burgard, Joe Rosbert, John Dean, Bill Bartling and Dick Rossa. The actual tally was not much smaller. One Lily crashed near Guilin and two more had been shot up so badly that they had to be written off. Only one Nate was lost, but two Toryus went down over Guilin ad another crashed on the way home--and the two survivors had wrinkles on the fuselage, revealing that the Toryu was not up to the high-g maneuver favored by Japanese pilots. After assessing this dismal result, the JAAF called off the campaign against Guilin.
