Sidae assignments for TIME OF ACES

Argh...

How can we be axis and be flying F4U-1D's?
We should be listed as ALLIED.

ForHIM, what  database populates that table?
The update page shows us as the proper side
but this table doesn't.  Something isn't
referencing properly.

Delta, I believe that you are indeed Axis this time around.  The planes you see there are what you may have input for 'preferences' initially when you updated for this FSO.

The Frame CO's will pick your ride and tell you what you are in.  I would edit your 'preferences' to show your favorite IJN planes.

I'm a bit confused...

skernsk, when I updated for this FSO we registered
as Allied. Thats what my squad members requested.
We flew axis the last 2 FSOs and my guys are in need
of a change.  We are understandably weary of being
allied target drones.

So to clarify, let me know if we are expected to
be allied or axis this time around so I can let my
guys know.

These last 2 FSO's as axis has really put a damper
on our squad involvement levels so I need to let
them know whats happening.  Surprising them
at the last minute with an axis assignment when
they are expecting allied will surely drive our
numbers even lower.

BTW, The Arabian Knights, 325th and Fate are
all listed as axis despite selecting allied aircraft.
They may be similarly confused as I am.

Anyway, let me know,

Delta...the side requests we make as squads is just that: a request.  No guarantees that any squad will get to fly thier choice.  But its generally understood that the CM's take the past and your preferences into consideration.

If you requested allied for the last 3 months and had to fly axis, then yeah, maybe you got a reason to be a bit upset .  If you requested axis for 2 months and got to fly axis as requested, then you have no room to complain.  But next month your squad would probably be given leverage toward whatever side you request.  Just saying that we have all been there and you shouldn't let it dampen your enthusiasm for FSO.

Understood.

Heck, I'll fly a kite.  It really doesn't matter to me personally.

My only concern stems from the grumbling of some
my troops and on retaining interest in FSO among them.

Finally, with respect to the last FSO we had hoped for allies
then and got stuck with axis.  We didn't gripe about that
and we flew as directed.  We were collectively looking
for a change this time....especially since we flew as axis
during the last Guadalcanal campaign "Fire in the Sky'.

But it doesn't matter to me.  I'll fly by myself if I have to.

I guess thats all there is to say on this subject guys.  I just
wanted to make sure our position was understood in case
we don't produce the numbers projected and leave the
axis hopelessly outnumbered again.

I'll see you Friday night as axis.

I am busy constructing the next FSO. It will be in the Pacific again but will focus on the year 1942 and select a battle from 3 different theaters:

[list=1]

• Invasion of Burma - Brits & Flying Tigers vs IJN / IJAAF
• Invasion of Mindano - USAAF vs IJN
• Invasion of the Aleutian Islands - USAAF vs IJN

Will make a note to put you guys down as allies for it.
