Did Naso e-mail out to the axis side about this possibility for a side switch and rerun?  Anyone on the axis side here know?

There hasn't been anything in the Axis forums nor any emails.

I'll send Naso another e-mail.  If anyone else (such as axis players) have his e-mail, could you also ask him to send out a mailing to the axis side?  My guess is that the bulk of the axis side has no idea about:

1.  The possibility of a rerun.
2.  The movie DoK is putting together and how to contribute.
3.  Patches.

Actually, who has the whole list?  ROC?  Nefarious?  Whoever it is could send out an e-mailing to everyone even if Naso doesn't respond to e-mails.

I've sent the following e-mail again to Naso.  I'll let folks now if it seems like Naso has sent it out.

Hello, Naso.  Can you please send out the following to the axis side?  Also, could you let me know when you send it (or copy me on it) so that I know when it goes out?  That way, I know I don't have to line up CM's to send it out to the axis side.  It has already gone to the allied side.  Thanks.

--------

The organizers of Fire Over Malta are offering to switch the sides and rerun the scenario.  A lot of us think this would be very fun.  If you are interested, please say so in the Aces High bulletin board, in  "Special Events Forums > Scenario General > Rerun Malta with sides switched?".  Here is the link to it:

http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=165180

If there looks to be enough interest, the organizers will send out an e-mail to everyone giving the dates of the frames.  It will be sometime in January, most likely.

--------

Also, DoK has agreed to make a movie of the action in the scenario.  He did this previously for the Rangoon, '42 scenario, with the resulting movies posted here:

http://www.gonzoville.com/scenarios/page.php?id=52&a=dl

and

http://www.gonzoville.com/scenarios/page.php?id=51&a=dl

To participate, use your film viewer to clip out the best minute or so around some good action (use the "Start Select", "End Select", and "Copy Select") and upload the clip to DoK's site:

More details are in the bulletin board in "Special Events Forums > Fire Over Malta General Forum > Fire Over Malta, the Movie!".  Here is the link:

http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=165250

--------

Finally, several people are getting together to design and produce patches for the Malta scenario.  A patch run costs about US$150-US$170.  If you are interested in contributing US$5, please use Paypal to send the contribution to brookeg2 @ electraforge.com.

Details of the patch and information on progress is in "Special Events Forums > Fire Over Malta General Forum > Patches".  Here is the link:

----------

Thanks, all.  It was great flying with you, and I hope to see all of you in Malta #2!

I'm in, personal schedule permitting, of course.

EDIT: I might have found a band-aid for my tech problems (temporary solution) that will let me fly without locking my PC up.

In, i'll fly anythin but a bomber. Kinda funny being in Easy's group and all, (maybe a crash course in that aming crap and I'll be ok).

Other then that, i'm interested, any plane, against any numbers.
