My best guess right now is that it will start mid March.  It depends on when we get CO's, of course.

I'm hoping lots of GV'ers will step forward for this one.  This is a scenario that will test if we have enough interest for significant GV presence in scenarios.

The last scenario to test that idea was Stalin's Fourth.  It had a large GV component, but as it ran in early 2006, I think it was before a large contingent of GV enthusiasts built up in AH.  So, a lot of the GV's then were driven by players who preferred aircraft.

More recently, we've seen growth in interest in tank battles, formation of Tank Club (which is still mysterious, because the first rule of Tank Club is that you don't talk about Tank Club), of Heavy Metal Sunday, and so on.

We would like at least 60 tankers -- more if possible --  so that we can have battles between two groups of at least about 30 tanks on a side.  The more we have, the grander it will be.

Fire and maneuver -- tank war in the desert!

As stated above once CO's are arranged and the rules finalized registration will be opened.

I'm a bit suprised we dont have the Beaufighter at all. It was very active as both a night fighter and in coastal command for shipping attacks. I know they attacked Sardinia and Sicily from Malta and were also based out of Algeria. Not sure if they operated out of Tunisia proper or not.

All I can find is that 144 Squadron operated in the anti shipping role from 1/43 in north Africa, 227 from Malta and Egypt from 8/42, 252 from Egypt, Libya and Malta. 272 flew ground attack in Tunisia & Sicily from 11/42 to 9/43 but appears to be Malta based. 603 also flew anti shipping in the Med from 2/43. Given the importance of the supply component I think the Beaufighter played an important role in the events specific to the scenario....lobby lobby lobby :D :aok :rock :pray :salute

Funny, I don't see the Beaufighter listed on HTC's aircraft list.  :)  The only plane substitution is the C47 for the Ju52.
