No, he didn't loose em, I still have it from the last one Shane.  Remember, you shot the guy, then proceeded to drive over his M3 in a Tiger til it was about 1 inch high.

Anyway, had to use a jaw-of-life to get the gun out of the wreckage.  By the looks of it (looking at the gun closely), you can see a tread mark on the side of the barrel, or is that the guys teeth impression? :D

Alrighty, both of you, off to the DA you go. Here are your pistols - VWE - you get the tooth-marked one.

i'd like for once to see the ju88's left out, as it might allow the ju-87 to get a little more bidness, along with the 110's, since the BoB was basically a tactical engagement initially.


Top speed of the Ju88 on the deck is about 240 MPH, while the speed of the A20/Boston on the deck is 315 MPH, that is a significant difference seeing that its around 15MPH faster than the fastest fighters on either side.

I dont have a problem taking the Ju88 out, but it is acceptable in a '40 set, the A-20/Boston are not.

But the Ju-88A-4 and Boston III are contemporaries.

"The Boston III began to arrive in Britain in the spring of 1941."

http://home.att.net/~jbaugher4/a20_5.html

"The Ju 88A-4 was finally delivered early in 1941, with the 1,400 hp Jumo 211F-1 or 211J engines."

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/christophe.arribat/stofju88.html

while i'm not advocating adding the a20, i'm just saying lose the ju-88 for once so we can see the stuka more.

Yanno, I'd be just as happy with none of them and uncapturable bases.  When I suggested the Boston or A20, I knew they were fast, but I also suggested ONLY making them available from a few rear bases, so that anyone who upped one would have to fly forever to get to a captured forward base.  

It was a suggestion.  I dont make official decisions and nobody official has endorsed the idea from what I saw in the thread.  Jeezus, you guys take one persons idea and act like its the gospel or something.  Lighten up a bit gents.  

Use Grits' idea and give em SBD's and Stukas.  If that happened, I'd keep the GV's out completely though and just add the C-47 to the Brit side.

Ok...I'm a reasonable man....I will make the following changes:

Ju-88 will be removed.

SBD-5 will be added at a limited number of bases.

M3 will be added to British bases.

All other settings remain.

Why can't you just leave it like it is? Shane opposes something so you change it? Why not just let Shane setup the areana each week, he already acts like he runs it anyway.

all i suggested was removing the ju88, sheesh...  axis still has stukas and 110's and in all likelyhood i'll be flying axis. i think escorting stulas to target, as opposed to  individual formations of ju88's coming in on the lemming trail would be a true test of a skwad's ability to get the job done, no?

as for the capture thing, it's not bad per se, but as it was initially setup, it'd be for all intents and purposes impossible for the brits to re-take any bases without any planes with bombs or gv's available.

but it'd be a fairly simple matter for 4-6 people to milk a base or 2 in england in the wee hours.

think about it... unless that's too hard for you?
