Table Notes: Cross index the Cell rolled on Table 10A with dice roll for Bomber position in the cell. Result is the

Bomber's location in the Cell. (See Combat Box Formation Diagram - Bombers are numbered 1-18, with 1-6 being in the

Middle Cell,7-12 being in the High Cell and 13-18 being in the Low Cell.)

a) You are the Cell Leader for the cell rolled in Table 2-10A. (Bomber # 1, 7 or 13). The Middle Cell leader (Bomber #1) is also the Bomber Group Mission Lead bomber. (Roll again for another Bomber position on Table 2-10B if your pilot and/or the bombardier and/or the navigator have flown five or fewer missions).

Add one Me 109 at 12 o'clock Level to attacking fighters for this position. (Do NOT add this fighter if the results of the roll on Tables 5-3A, B, or C is "None, or No Attacks")

b) High and Low Cells ONLY - If you are in the Middle Cell, roll again on Table 2-10B if you rolled 11 or 12. The "Tailend Charlie" positions (Bomber #11 in the High Cell or Bomber #18 in the Low Cell) may only be filled if your cell rolls on Table 2-10A was HIGH or LOW Cell. (If your tail gunner has flown five or fewer missions, then roll again on Table 210B.)

Add one Me 109 at 6 o'clock Low to attacking fighters in the #18 Low Cell Tail End Charlie position or add one Me 109 at 6 o'clock high to attacking fighters in the #11 High Cell Tail End Charlie position. (Do NOT add this fighter if the results of the roll on Tables 5-3A, B, or C is "None, or No Attacks")

Table Note: Roll once upon entry into the specified zone range. Use the same 1D10 results for each zone in the range

rolled for. (Example; you are playing Campaign #3 you enter Zone 6. Roll once for the level of fighter cover in Zones 6

thru 10. A result of "5" would be "FAIR"; a roll of "1" would be "NONE". You would not roll again for fighter cover until

the bomber entered Zone 11, or if the target was reached and the bomber turned for home, you would roll again for fighter

cover when the bomber reached Zone 5.
