Don't think you'll be over run either. The Axis won the last time   :cool:

We now have our CO's (Husky01 as allied CO and leitwolf as axis CO).

Gentlemen, we are definitely in business.

Tentative dates are as follows.  These are still being finalized with the CM staff -- so there might be changes -- but I mention it here so that folks can get a general idea at least.

July 19, practice frame
July 26, frame 1
Aug 2, frame 2
Aug 9, frame 3
Aug 16, frame 4

We should have registration opening this week.  I will let everyone know when it opens.

CO's, I will also start asking to get the side forums up and going.

Wow that would leave only 20 days to get people registered, get everyone organized and get the plans out for the practice frame then not even a month till the official frame kicks off! Leitwolf and I would have to do some major work to make sure both sides are properly prepared for the event and I know I read somewhere that leit doesn't exactly have an abundance of time. Now I know that no dates are set in stone and that we are all crunched for time to get this thing rolling since it took so long to find CO's but what do you all think about possibly pushing each frame back a week? That would give us at least a month to get everything done that needs to be done. So the practice frame would be the 26th, First frame Aug 2nd and so on and so forth.


Thoughts?

I wouldn't mind starting soon. The scenario has been on hold for quite a while, has been run before and was well balanced.

Either way is fine.

My opinion doesn't count for anything as i'm offically just a participant but i'd like to see it on the dates mentioned cuz I have to cancel my subscription soon after the last frame to join the air force.

My dos centavos:

The proposed schedule doesn't allow for much planning and practice by the teams. Registration and then sorting out staffs etc takes a few weeks. If the event starts in 3 to 4 weeks as proposed, there's no time to scheme, try theories out, etc. Even an event like this, that needs little development in terms of setup and rules because its been done before, can benefit from coordination amongst the teams.

My suggestion is Frame One six weeks from start of registration. YMMV, of course :)

comon your joking right, 19 days to register assign leads, squads, and plan, time runs and the like.

and if you want to say its 26 days ,,same thing.

not to mention the height of summer thing

if we waited this long why not 60 days more from the declaration of an event.

Thanks for the input, and keep it coming.  Read the quote again :)  Best events are the ones with input from you guys.

I'd say to the COs, start team building.  But, again, the start dates are being discussed, the registration page is being setup by Brooke now, the final date should be between 4 to 6 weeks out from Registration Opening.  We know this is just a game, but there is some relevance to reacting to an attack that is coming down earlier than the Allies or Axis expected, part of "war" is adapting.  Part of a Scenario is the Build Up and Recruitment.  With that, the Scenario Team isn't going to hamper the event, just encourage an aggressive approach.

  Not likely, it's possible there are other things in the pipe.

This isn't sounding too good to me anymore  :cry Still one or two frames are better than none at all. Really look forward to it.
