From the ahevents.org page:

Battle of Britain 2006 (September, 2006)
Operation Downfall (July, 2006)
Stalin's Fourth (April, 2006)
Fire Over Malta (November, 2005)
Coral Sea (April, 2005)
Rangoon, '42 (October, 2004)
Battle of Britain 2004 (August, 2004)

Brooke's personal scenario page also lists BOB 2004 as the earliest AH scenario he participated in.

What was before BOB'04? It hasn't been until the past few years that I ever paid attention to anything SEA related. I've been around since AH1 came out, but never took notice until BOB'04 (as I recall, I wanted to participate, but couldn't). I vaguely seem to recall stuff went on before that, but what?

Can you give a 1-line description for:

hostile shores
kurland
kardesh

?

The others are somewhat self explanatory (scenario wise, I mean, I can get an idea of what the story is by the name) but these are foreign to me.

Hostile Shores

Was a 1944-based Pacific theater carrier battle.

Kadesh was the 1948 Israel vs Egypt scenario, using reskinned Me262s and the like.
Scenario and terrain by Artik.

That is a very cool idea with AF cadets as the command staff and us as players. It's like the ultimate wargame.

What was the one imagined scenario of late war allied invasion to Norway called? Was it the above mentioned "Hostile Shores"?

Dux · « **Reply #10 on:** June 06, 2007, 11:09:19 PM »

I don't remember that one, BlauK... but it wasn't Hostile Shores.

We didn't have Spit IXs in it If I remember correctly...(Scenario CM at that time)

It was 262s vs 262s mostly. Ar234s acted as Egyptian Bombers.

There were P51s and French Corsairs too. Was pretty interesting.

Also...

Wasnt Hostile Shores was the "Hypothetical Invasion of Norway"?

I was a fledgling Noob at that time and couldn't participate.

i still woulda pwned

Dux · « **Reply #13 on:** June 08, 2007, 07:07:23 PM »

Ya know, Nef... it coulda been. All I remember is flying a Hellcat off a carrier, so I assumed it was a PAC setup.

When I was a CM I designed and helped run 'Big Week' based on err... 'Big Week'. That was back in 2003 or maybe 2002.

The cadets ran the Allied side in that scenario and were very successful IIRC.
