Can't wait. BoB '04 was the best scenario I've been in thus far.

FEAR THE EMIL

I'm sure you meant "FEAR THE 110"?

So how does the patch work if you re-use a scenario later? I'm sure there was a patch for BOB'04, but you don't want to re-use it. Do you go through the process of redesigning it (to give an entirely new patch) or do you just change the date on the old patch (to recycle it)?

There was no patch for BoB 2004. I started doing them for Rangoon, '42. I had plans to go back and do one for BoB 2004, but in doing them for all the following scenarios, didn't quite get around to it.

I'll ponder doing one for BoB 2004 at the same time as BoB 2006.

As for patch designs, we basically have been opening it up for designs from players and see what we get.

I'm planning to be in BOB'06, maybe I'll try my hand at patch design.

Quick question: In another thread you mentioned ordering 200 patches. Is that how many you think folks will take, or is that the minimum order size?

I was idly thinking about whether you could make a different patch for each side (one for LW, one for RAF), but I'm not 100% sure how it works on your end.

Brooke · « **Reply #50 on:** August 21, 2006, 03:38:56 PM »

Less than 200, and the cost per patch starts to go up a lot. Also, two patches for one scenario is twice the work and nearly double the cost, so I'd much rather stay with one design for all.

no worries, was just brainstorming

Damn. I have to have the 303rd oporational by then?!? Um... we will fly for germany in the Ju-88s. There should be between 8 and 16 of us.

I'll have to resubscribe for this one.Looks like it is going to be lots of fun.

Now i have a few questiones.I have been reading rules on the ahevents.org and have questions about rescuing pilots.

Are going to be able to sign up as pt boat drivers and how many slots are there for pts?

Are there going to be pts for both axis and allies or are they going to be neutral?

How are we going to be able to locate downed pilots on sea.sounds pretty though as la manche on 512x512 map is big area.

What happens if we have too many downed pilots on the sea and only few pts that are already carrying downed pilots? Do they have to wait for their turn, wich might take very long until a pt takes the first pilot to land and comes back.

Can pt drivers and their passangers shoot at enemies?

thanks

Duh, as far as locatiing, once our ordenance is gone, the 303rd can spot for you, keeping at a nice altitude and looking through the quiet areas.

Also, since I cannot get a force available in time, would anyone like to temporarily augment our bomber group? (How many were in a german squadron?)

pt's and other rescue vehicles .

a single rescue can pick up more then just one pilot .

when they reach pilot they call for verification by using the grid/number pad system . AE. 10.10.6.1 <--- the 6 is the number on pad ,the 1 is exact location within the number 6 of the 10.10 grid on the map .

A CM Will come verify at this time.

There will be a seperate Radio Freq/channel just for rescue ops .

after verifcation the downed pilot can return to tower and reup .

the rescue vehicles are not allowed to shoot at nme ... just as they are not to shoot at rescue vehicles.

(There wasnt a patch for BoB 04 ... I just received the Stalins patches so if you want one get your order into Brooke's Paypal. )

Hmm, rules say the bailed pilot once spotted by pt will tower, then join the boat.Will the other pilots pretend to be in the boat?

thats from ver 1 rules that was ammended in frame 2 due to the time factor .

Brooke and I meet last night and We went over the Rescue portion and It will get amended soon .

Whatever you decide sing me up for allied pts as soon as registration is open;)

Roscoroo · « **Reply #59 on:** August 23, 2006, 02:36:36 PM »

when we open regestration ... just sign up for a squad .

most rescue ops are done by the players that get killed . this gives everyone something to do during the frame... the Allied get to play rescue .. The Axis get to join as gunners .... See how it works out
