The next frame of Close Escort runs at 3pm EST March 19th in the Special Events Arena. This is Europe with B-17s on the Rhine map in
Sky over Odenwald (link here).All Close Escort Events are walk-on events, just show up in the arena 15-20 minutes before start time and have fun.
Thanks to all who replied to the Frame One thread. I read all of them but we will not be making changes to the original planeset. The 163 saw no use in the first running as the action came to an end before their time slot but if the Allies had more escorts, it might have played differently.
My game machine is almost rebuilt after a hard drive crash so scores should be coming more quickly, thanks for your patience.
Here's a quick rundown on the aircraft setup for those interested.
