Yes, I think it would be easy enough to add more bombers. One issue with the Redfox map is that the runways are a little short for 8 planes to take off at once (in a line). Anyway, here are some things I am looking at:
-I'd like to turn this into a 25 mission or so campaign. They will be history-based and include raids on shipping and targets in Sicily, Italy, and Greece in mid-1943.
-Increase the number of bombers in the raiding party. To do this I will probably have 2 groups of 12 planes each from two separate bases (24 total) rendezvous then continue to target. I doubt that it would be practical to have raids of hundreds of bombers.
-I have done more historical research and now figure that fighter escort cover should only reach about mid-way into Sicily.
- I need to have German fighter encounters that make the mission difficult but not suicidal.
- I am considering adding a training mission to explain how to use the bombsight.
If anyone has any historical source I could draw on I would appreciate it.
