WW3 Battle of Britain
Gentleman Aviator
Granted they might all not be needed for a UK defense scenario
84 Sqn Wessex in Cyprus!
Edited to add:
Add the Red Arrows to AD as their 10 AC were part of the 75 Hawks wired for Aim 9L,
Some things you couldn't make up!

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Nike Hercules were the best 
The one we studied in 1974 was Neuruppin. Off the top of my head, 4 HAS complex in each corner of the airfield. Parallel runways and taxiways. Hardened grass runways in between.
After a counter-air campaign you might consider attacks on the field armies.
A Buccaneer with BL755s had a 40% chance of killing a tank it was aiming at. It had a 45% chance of killing other tanks at which it was not aiming.

Personally not my cup of tea. There was an old board game called NATO back in the day that had this to say about a Strategic Nuclear exchange "To simulate the effects of a Strategic Nuclear War simply pour lighter fluid on game board and apply match"

? (and did they have an SSM capability)?

Main, yes and yes. I think it was a mere 50kt. We calculated that Neuruppin would need at least two both on target. Sad about the town nearby though

Main, I cannot attest to the accuracy of what I said, it was just data we used on the Weapons Employment (aka Whitbread's Enjoyment) course.

Want to thank everyone for the replies here and the PM's.
Fantastic support and help.
Off to do some work on it. I'll post a few screenies when it starts to come together along with some Post Action Reports.

My sole Russian chum told me (whether in jest, I know not) that their strategy in the event of the unthinkable was to load up everything that could fly with everything it could carry and head West, do as much damage as it possible, then eject. They didn't seem to plan on coming back as they assumed there would be nothing to come back to.
Does your game model this?

PeterWe, indeed. It was said that that was why the Russians would be behind the Poles.
HJ. also true to an extent. In the V-Force we planned a return trip but I believe the French Force d'Frappe did not.
When based in Cyprus however we would have been thousands of miles from UK so recovery anywhere would have been sporty and escape and evasion a complete joke. You could imagine legging it in to Finland but into Afghanistan, then where?

Cabe, the game has been out now for a few weeks. I was not part of the Beta.
But have been waiting for this for years.
It has some bugs, and some things are not working as the community would like but given the nature of the game the one thing you can be certain of is that the community is full of idea's

HJ- as for the Air Defence crowd, we planned on taking out as many Rooskie nuclear bombers as possible then, assuming our bases were a smoking hole in the ground, heading off to a nice little airfield as far from the nearest nuclear impact point as possible. I didn't talk about it at the time, but many years later, I find other AD aircrew (not just UK) had the same idea - we even had some of the same airfields on our lists, so it would have been a bit like 'On the beach' but with a few mates for company!

Fox3, did they have Guinness and Murphys?
In Cyprus our plan was head east, find a pleasant yurt somewhere and start to learn the language.
Would you believe though, our first SOP had telephone numbers for the different attaches around Europe. Actually that early in the game it was not as daft as it may have seemed.

Thanks for the info, Matrix sent me tha blurb last week but I rarely believe what a software company tells me these days. Upgrades are usually just a way to change the bugs.
Looks like I have something for my Christmas list.

Had been tempted to ask this on a previous thread, so here goes:
Anyone know if the FRADU assets were assigned a wartime role?
Flew Falcon 20s and Hunters at the time in question.
I'm guessing the Navy might have snaffled the Hunters for point defence if nowt else but I've no idea if they were weapons capable.
