Mig3Moscow Masterpost
[IL-2 GB: PWCG]
I’m going to use this post to ‘re-start’ and collect all the various posts I make for this campaign.
The date is October 1941. The situation, for the Soviet Union and the Voyenno-Vozdushnye Sily (Soviet Air Force), is bleak. Since the Nazis invaded in the summer, the VVS has lost between 7,500 and 21,000 aircraft, many destroyed on the ground. Frustrated by their inferior aircraft and training, pilots have resorted to ramming the enemy out of the sky.
Now the Wehrmacht continues into Operation Typhoon: a ground-and-air assault on Moscow itself, through the cities of Vyazma and Bryansk. The Soviet people prepare to defend their land. Lenin’s body has been moved out of Moscow in event of its capture. Though depleted by the campaign, the Luftwaffe’s 2nd Air Fleet (Luftlotte 2) brings fighters of technical superiority, with much more experienced pilots. The VVS can only muster 400-odd fighter aircraft. It will take bravery to prevail. There is snow on the horizon.
In the motto of the 27th IAP, Za rodinu! For the Motherland!
