Designer Notes:
This SNAPSHOT will be a single frame, single life event due to the large area that will be covered by the participants. The point scoring should urge the side COs to plan for maximum effectiveness on both sides. The Norden bombsights should be set for MA standard. Allied fighter pilots that are shot down should be encouraged to gun for bombers still on bomb runs.
