Zorstorer,
Bodhi is the Team Zeke leader. The Finns have no say on what planes they are going to fly ;)

BlauK, thanks for spotting that -- I should have checked.

Let's have the pre-beta test on Saturday at 3 pm Eastern Standard Time.



 Arggghhh...I saw the first post by ROC and marked my calendar and
 didn't read this thread again until now, after I had gone online and
 found the Close Escort event in SEA :(  It's now Sunday and I was
 home and available yesterday :(

 BTW, Brooke, who did you "resend info" too?

 I registered for Team Jordi on Thursday. Haven't seen any confirm
 or email since. Registration page shows me on the roster OK though.

Sorry, GB.  I sent e-mail to everyone registered, to the e-mail address listed by the registration system.  You might want to check what e-mail address you have on the registration system.

I've finally had a chance to read the published setup, OOB, and rules. Given that context, I agree with ROC's assessment that some A6M5 content for Team Zeke can be considered as reasonable.

My call is that they are not needed and shouldn't be used over Oahu, but that the IJN fleet CAP should have them. Its not historically correct, but given the published context of setup, OOB, and rules it makes good playability sense.

Just IMHnsO (as if I l know anything about this event anyway ;))
