Congrats to the Blue side ,
but i wonder how Reds were ever going to win when most of Blue points came from ground / sea targets there were no such targets available to the reds other than aaa to accumulate anywhere near the points earned by blue
so i feel the war should be calculated on aggrigate (total of both original and Redoux ) to define the overall winner
Just a thought , dont realy care either way as long as i get shoot down speedy

In the actual BoB, there were limited German ship assets. The only thing they had that could be sunk in the English Channel were the E-Boats, and the U-Boats. On the other hand, the Brits had ships coming in constantly, bringing much needed supplies, i.e. fuel, ammo, parts, weapons, planes, etc. Plus, the only raids made on German facilities in France at that time were small, quick hit ones, usually with a bomber or fighter-bomber. Nothing major because they couldn't afford to loose the men or planes.

Yep, exactly. Since there was also the need to fear an invasion by sea, the Brits also attacked the ports sinking many barges that the Germans were assembling .

Wellingtons also bombed Berlin, resulting in Hitler's order to switch to London as the primary target.
I missed the end, but if Britain wasn't invaded .. we won
Sadly my three Beaufighter kills against 110s aren't included, even though I landed them - in fact it is as if those missions were never flown

Yeah i know about the none existant but successfull runs with points. Hit london 3 or 4 times and got points from 335 to 355 area, made it home safley but they didn't show up in the points area for me on the score card. Also noticed that with boat runs as well. There where several times that me and Bozo would go out hit multiable ships that totaled over a 1000 points but in the score card it shows only 600 for one ship and not the other. So for some bloody reason the score counter is missing things. May want to look a little into this Tiger and see if its a glitch or maybe just not recording correctly ~S~ Blood out.

Of all the campiagns so far this one was pretty close to the top in fun. It is just too bad that we can't get 99 players to all fly at once. 3 or 4 per side just isn't as fun - at least until everyone makes contact at once. With everything else that people play, it seems we just don't get waves of players like we did in the first couple of campaigns, which is too bad as the campaigns are getting better all the time, and now that we have the ground rules of no rules everyone is on the same page as far as what is expected.
Unfortunately, it looks like I am playing guitar in the bar this coming week, so will probably miss most of the times that everyone is flying the redoux as well.

I think an aggregate score would work well. It seems nearly impossible to bring down bombers without using 2-3 fighters worth of ammunition, which adversely affects scoring for the British (at least from what I saw during the axis campaign). We were literally chasing down fighters with small groups of JU-88's with virtually no fear of being shot down ourselves.
