In Combat Challenge I we had some organized initial attacks which were a lot of fun. After that it turned into some furball fun off the coast of England.
I would not be surprised if the same thing happened in CCII in or around A21, 22, or 26.

This will last about an hour. Maybe longer depending on how may attend and how much fun they are having.
It is a walk on event and squads are welcome.
I will ask the community/squads to do their best to keep things relatively balanced or I will have to disable flights in one country or another till things even out.

Looking forward to some pictures and AAR's.

Shifty pointed out to me in the Solomons around that time the F4U1 should be land based and the F4F's off the CV.
I will make that change in the setup.

FWIW, there were shore-based F4F, SBD and TBF at this time.

This is true I didn't mean to give him the impression there were no shore based F4Fs.
There was just no CV based F4U1s.

You guys know me. I will throw up Spits, 109's and call it good. I tend not to do much digging for historical accuracy. If it does not affect game play but makes it more accurate, all the better.
