Oboe ... this event spun up so fast there was no time to confer about adding planes. The specs and characteristics on the SBD/Buffalo and Val/Nate are suprisingly close - so it should be interesting.

Seeker ... as long as both sides know that if I catch someone using the wrong load-out "there will be consequences" that should be enough. The F4F really has handling issues anyway - I'd be more concerned if teh FM2 could pack 6 .50's. But, again, I expect the squadron leader to be responsible enough to control this. Honest mistakes will happen, of course, but whatever minor gain someone may get by "accidentally" using the 6-guns will be overshadowed by the penalty.

 Methinks it'll take more that knocking off some rust... :)

The Boston's will be an interesting ride. They'd be my choice. I expect you'll spend most of the time in the scouting role. Which could get pretty interesting given the numbers of Zero's that'll be out in force. Forward guns kind of suck, but they're enough to finish off a wounded Zero or catch one sleeping.
