Your scenario is balanced enough. After all, the attackers were in
waves and could have been attacked separately. Certainly players can
vary the numbers a little if they like but bigger is not always better.
I think you have the crew values at a good historical level and I look
forward to playing the scenario with your figures and numbers. I
confess to having all the Buffalos one would ever need (12) painted as
British and 8 each of Betty's and Nells (so I only have to obtain a few
more).
Anyway, thank you for the scenario, it is sure to be enjoyed!!

kwjohns1952,

Perceived play balance, for sure... To be honest, I started with
twice the
number of bombers in each wave, but talked myself into lowering it to
what I
thought would be a more manageable level... 3:1 seemed like long
enough odds
for the poor brits to face, and still make a game of it. :-)
I have not tested this scenario to see if it is really play
balanced or not,
(don't have near enough planes) !! Just really seemed like an
interesting
"what if" situation to explore on the game table. Hopefully achieving
success
will prove challenging, regardless of which side is played.
Please excuse any true historical inaccuracies, I tried my best to
include
good historical 'color' in the description of events, and to get the
correct
(real and speculative) unit designations as best I could, based solely
on my
limited research of the actual events.
Regards,
Jim

some other reason that determined the forces. There were 80-90 nells

vs at most 10 buffaloes ( Boyne, Clash of Titans, pp. 148-149) but you
provide
only a total of 18 bombers to six buff--shouldn't there only be 2-3
buffaloes.
Also there were more torp equipped than bomb equipped planes.
