AAR - Hold the Line

[Maromak]

First of all thanks to Gunner98 for creating this scenario. I look forward to the next one in the series/battleset.

I have completed the scenario goals more or less although there is still 20 hours left to go. Goals competed were to defend the carrier, take out the two enemy surface groups, and take out the enemy airfield on Iceland. No real cunning strategy was involved to accomplish the goals - the scenario title says it all really. If I were to play the scenario again I'd have a go at taking out the enemy airfield a little earlier on with TLAMs but generally this tactic doesn't work so well for me.

As for debugging, the vast majority of the aircraft lost on the friendly side all occurred due to refueling issues which have all been reported in various threads. The score I got isn't worth mentioning as I lost major points when every one of the CRAF aircraft crashed due to lack of fuel.

Apart from the refueling, I didn't notice any issues that haven't already been covered by others.

The final save game file is attached for those who are interested.
