Bf 109K-4 pilots needed. Will you fly with me on Saturday?

[Husky01]

Sorry to hear that. Mine was just a sports accident from baseball last year just tore my labrum and bicept tenden  in my right sholder sliding into home. They said this surgery should put me back to around 95 percent mobility or so depending on how rehab goes.

Dang Von, do they even let you board planes? (Or does it require a body cavity search first?)

[VonMessa]

Stainless.  No worries with the airport.

This is second install.  First was Titanium, but Dr. saw that my bone would graft to it in strange ways and eventually make me lose ALL range of motion.  So, they unscrewed it, made a new fixture and reinstalled it while I was still knocked out.  The "K"-Wire is now gone (got to pull them out myself), but the plate and screws stay for life.

Better perspective (not me, btw)

My girlfriend's kid wrecked his dirtbike last year and flew forward into a tree.  Somehow both of his wrist bones broke in just about that same place.  His hand actually broke off and slid down his forearm bones several inches though.  The ends of the bones sticking out were frayed like a broken fiberglass fishing pole.  He's got screws and plates like that now too, and some decent scars from it.  For several months he had to wear two sets of external pins and bars that connected to the plates and screws on his bones, just to keep everything lined up properly I guess.  It was crazy looking.  I'll see if I can't track down one of those xrays, they were pretty interesting.

oh you Axis' "Agony of Defeat" is sounding so bitter.......

I don't care who wins.  I signed up to have fun, but you are more interested in points. 

Again, all scenarios have paled to DGS.  This one is just a ridiculous footnote.

Take the points out of the scenarios... once and for all.

Moray, you don't know me very well, to think I, personally, am interested in points, or anything....

I like to see Scenarios, whether they are based on /off of a real life battle, or if they are of the "What If this battle took place" type. are executed in the way the designing Scenario writer/author, invisioned them to be played out.....

it don't matter if I lost every single fight, or whatever, as long as I get the "immersed feeling" out of the scenario....

some look at anything in aces high ( MA/malee arenas,  AvsA, Dueling arena, tournaments, scenarios, etc ) as to be something to acquire the top score in or th top points etc......

or to find gimmicky , gamey ways of pulling off some mission, or to use those type tactics in events, scenarios, malee arenas etc.... I just laugh at those type for they are missing so much more from the games events, than by playing for just score.....

and most times those folks, take replys and comments very personally, especially when most of the replys or comments are meant to get them riled up in their seat to begin with 

the fun you get, is the fun you make...... this Scenario was, FUN!!!  even if at times some of the participants did not get to see alot of actio, that happens in every single FSO, Scenario, or any other event ever played from Air Warrior until the end of time.....

you play enough of em to see it in every event, then you will understand where I come from......

Fencer did a wonderful job designing/writing this scenario......

and to reitirate.......... I don't give TWO CHITS about points......  if I did I would be in the top five in every category every month in every arena ( well except for GVing.never cared for that )......

I am for helping th Scenario CM Staff come up with recommendations to stop gamey tactics that some of the teams come up with from time to time, that just wouldnt of happened in a Scenario created of a WWII event....

I am apauled that you publically openly slammed this Scenario...... I would say if you can do better, then get to creating one better, I would like to participate in it 


Thank You, Fencer, Brooke, Kantori/Dux, Scenario CM Staff and the CO & XO from both sides..... all of you did a good job in making sure everyone had a chance to as if they were sucked back in time and at times in an actual fight for their lives and for their country......

No, I publicly slammed the gaminess that is ongoing in this scenario. In reality, I'm sure that the allies would have turned their CV back towards Britain when they know the Axis are carrying an atomic bomb to Finland. In reality, I'm also sure they would have concentrated their efforts on bombing factories and cities for points, than even attempt to kill the Task group that was carrying said atomic bomb.

GAMEY. GAMEY. GAMEY.

There are many more examples, but it's just not worth it.

This crap won't stop until you take the points out of the scenarios.  There are those that view winning with points as more important.  I'd love to help design one.  Just like in real life, you either complete an objective, or you do not. END of story.  Not hypothetically, "I bombed more buildings, but let the Atomic Bomb get delivered to the Axis....I win on points".

It's total crapola.  There is no disrespect intended to anyone on a personal level. We are here to have fun, not have whole squadrons leave for the "more fun" MA's.  There are those of the CM's that agree with me, and have attempted to make things better.  I'm sorry, with the notable exception of frame 4, this scenario was a complete bore fest.

Frame four was outstanding.  But, by then, I guess points didn't count very much anymore.

I think the girly whine is the sound of my crying about how horribly I flew in frame 4.  Arg.   

[Spikes]

Frame 4 was great! Thank you for coming out of hiding.
