We start Day 2 in our campaign game with Eagle Leader, the air combat tabletop board wargame where you control a squadron of NATO aircraft in a series of missions during the Cold War. We are playing El Dorado Canyon, a 2-day campaign of bombing over Libya in 1986.

Known Errors
1 - At the end of the mission, I moved two objective bandit aircraft from the center area closer to our planes. But objective aircraft do not leave the center area. I'll fix this before the next mission, as it'll be easy to repair. :)
