@ Rusty Dog...the campaign will be called "The Mongrel Invasion of China." Mongrel Squadron is a group of mercenaries at a base "somewhere in an uncharted area of the South China Sea."

Here is the first mission briefing:

Short

A Flying Boat has brought you to an island in the South China Sea that the locals affectionately call Skulls Island. This is the home of Mongrel Squadron.

Description

Welcome, pal. I am your new CO here on Skulls. You can call me Night Train. No names here, got it? Ok, what's your name...oh, never mind I don't care what your name is. I don't care how old you are, what country you come from, or if you got all your teeth. We got all kinds of pilots here from all different countries. We're kinda like the French Foreign Legion...only not as charming, know what I mean? All I care about is whether you can fly a damn plane. Can you fly a plane, pal?

Ok, then get in that Hawk over there and follow the flight plan. This will get you familiar with the territory.

You will take off due south, then double back over Lake Hooch. You'll see a lot of lights along the lake; that's Mizzie Liu's place. You'll see plenty more of that later. On the mountain side above Mizzie Liu's you'll see our spotting station. You got this pal? Pay attention.\n\nFrom Mizzie Liu's you'll head south east towards Te-Ney island. When you get there, fly low into the lagoon. The local pirate, Jean-Jules Bontemps, is holed up there with his bunch. They are kinda neutral in this thing and kinda not, so fly low and let him know I am keeping an eye on him.\n\nHead up north then to Widow's Tit (no need to explain the name for that one, as you'll see) and then over to Benghalli, our main base. We have Chinese AF pilots there too, but they are really a bunch of Russian volunteers. Don't worry about the Rooskies. They are good country people, pal. They will be visiting over here to see Mizze Liu's and they are pretty good about sharing the Vodka.

Then go northwest to Fang Island. We have a base there but its abandoned right now. Keep an eye out for any planes or shipping. We think the enemy has the idea of putting a base there someday. I wouldn't like that.

Then head on home. Notice, pal that the north approach to Skulls is a little treacherous. Treacherous as in, don't do that. Come in from the South and see what you can do. Nicky Pink-Nose will be flying with you. Watch what he does when he lands. If he don't land so good, maybe you should try something a little different.

Good luck pal. As a new pilot, the gin is on the house tonight at Mizzie Liu's.


I might do a series with Mongrel Squadron.
