And what will you fly?

Ehhm Bug, this scenario is more like a campaign, starting in about 2 weeks and lasting for 1½ months. Maybe someone completed a Eastern Europe/ Russian map by then so we could have a campaign going on there

It's interesting.... there's a whole ton of people I've never seen before listed, and people who I thought for sure would want a peice of this action are nowhere to be found.

Anyways - looks like a fantastic turnout! Roughly 160 people in the 1st couple days of sign-up. Congrats Verm!

....even IF I did have to go <cough> Axis to get an open slot.

Lookin' forward to this one.

RAM:

I'll fly the best and most beautiful fighter of that time - the 109G2  .

Hell, I better. I'm the flight leader of III/JG 77 "Herz As"  .

Ein?...

First :I dont see you in the OOB of III/JG77...maybe you forgot to press the "send" button   (hehehe)

And Second: three days ago the best and most beautiful fighter of that time (well not of that time, but it is in this scenario  ) was the Fw190A8...a men's plane,in your own words.

YOU SISSY!

Bug, the event and the date of signups were announced over two weeks ago. Pyro announced them in the NEWS section twice, it has been listed in the EVENTS section since then also, and I have been placing posts on this BBS about every day for the past week. Sorry you haven't noticed them  

In the future you can see upcoming events listed at http://events.hitechcreations.com

I also can not extend the squadron sizes when I still have 59 open slots for the Scenario. If all those fill up, then I would consider it. But people signing up have slowed down to a trickle, so don't expect it.

I would suggest you signup for a Ju-88 slot, its not glamorous, but bombers can be really fun.  

RAM, the reason that StSanta is not listed on the form is that because he is a Flight Leader(FL) of III/JG77. FL's were preregistered, so they are not on that list. So for him  

Actually RAM, I was suprised that you never responded when I made a call for Axis flight leaders about a week ago. Could have used you.

Nash - Great too see you flying for the real men's side for once!  

Ram - I agree with Verm.  It would have been great to have you CO a 190 squad.   Well, there's always pnzr's available for you to "fly".  

I'm sure we'll have a great time!  I wish I could say the same for the allies.

Oh, thanks <Blushes>  

 I thought in doing it, But I lack the experience in leading more than a schwarm in MA, let alone to do it in a well-organized scenario against good experienced and trained  pilots  . So maybe next time, for now I'll fly and learn  .

Each squad can have 6 planes up in each frame.  So its a schwarm with top cover.
