« on: March 31, 2010, 11:35:28 AM »
Gents,

Combat Challenge II
Date: Friday April 2nd
Start time: 11 PM Eastern

Action around Guadalcanal
Time frame is late 1942 early 43

Targets Allied
IJN destroyers trying to supply A26
Location 11.14 and 12.14

A22 and Port 28



This event will not be scored, but the logs will be posted.   
All fields listed may be attacked, but the designated targets are simply something for the Axis and Allied bomber pilots to shoot for. 
Down time normal and we will not have any field captures.

Allied Active Fields
A2, A22, A23, CV52, CV56

Axis Active Fields
A19, A20, A21, A26, CV53, CV54.

Land based Aircraft:
P-38G
P-40E

CV based Aircraft:
F4U1
SBD
TBM

Aircraft Axis:
Land based Aircraft:
Ki-61
A6M5

CV based Aircraft:

Arena Settings
- Coral Sea
- Fuel 1.00
- Icons (off for enemy) (3k for friendly)
- Ack (same as MA)
- Radar will be Tower Only and dot dar (tower operators are welcome ;))
- Radar alt 300 feet. Below 300' you will not flash or show up to any tower operators.
- Fighter and Bomber warning range about 15 miles
- Tower range set to 15 miles (for display only to match the above setting)
- Clouds / visibility 17 miles
- Friendly collisions off
- Enemy collisions on
- Kill shooter off

In Combat Challenge I we had some organized initial attacks which were a lot of fun. After that it turned into some furball fun off the coast of England.
I would not be surprised if the same thing happened in CCII in or around A21, 22, or 26.

This will last about an hour. Maybe longer depending on how may attend and how much fun they are having. :)
It is a walk on event and squads are welcome.
I will ask the community/squads to do their best to keep things relatively balanced or I will have to disable flights in one country or another till things even out.

Looking forward to some pictures and AAR's.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Shifty pointed out to me in the Solomons around that time the F4U1 should be land based and the F4F's off the CV.
I will make that change in the setup. :)

FWIW, there were shore-based F4F, SBD and TBF at this time.

This is true I didn't mean to give him the impression there were no shore based F4Fs.
There was just no CV based F4U1s.

You guys know me. I will throw up Spits, 109's and call it good. I tend not to do much digging for historical accuracy. If it does not affect game play but makes it more accurate, all the better. :)
