Possible suggestion for next historical match-up
« on: December 24, 1999, 09:40:00 PM »
First, thanks to Rattler for coming up with the Thursday fun!  

Next, after some reflection, it seemed the LW were more-or-less doomed from the start. The scenario was really designed for dogfighting, something neither LW plane excels at compared to the Allied craft (I'm not talking historically, I mean AH reality at this point in the beta). What's more, many buff drivers wanted to join but were left out due to the restrictions.

So, same idea, but with a twist; why not give the Allies one (1) hour to close F5? Being forced to guard the Buffs may put the 51's at a bit more disadvantage than their free reign (and let's face it, they had a pretty easy go of things) Thursday. The LW will be able to succeed not by knocking out all the 51's but preventing a capture.

I'd like to see this sort of weekly event continue, but at times it was tough getting enough LW pilots out there. The way the 109's and 190's got mauled, it will be even harder in the future.  

Then again, we could do a psuedo BoB, with Spits and 109's... wrong variants, but the general idea nonetheless...

Would love too, but my schedule is full for the 26th. Maybe another day?
