To be sure about this: while flying to a possible engagement that I can see will be at a certain spot on my in-plane map,then, just before I get there,I call for reinforcements and it is there they will perhaps join me , but only if I circle & wait for them& then continue to the engagement,which may or may not still happen since the enemy may have already done his work & left? Sounds a bit like Bader & his big wings which were usually a bit late on the scene.
