How long do these scenarios run for? When I log in will I have to set aside 1-2-3 hrs?
Excellent question and very valid.
Honestly, the rules ask that folks show by 3PM est. There is truly a bit of mass confusion, initially, getting folks in uniforms (squads) and getting walkon pilots sent to fill vacant slots on each side. (Usually sent to a Rook field to wait to be assigned, as needed) Then once all are settled and assigned to their groups, the doors are locked, and we begin. (Usually by 3:30pm est)
The frame will last 3 hours from that start time. 3 1/2 hours is more realistic. 3PM to 6:30PM.
These events are based on real battles and WWII actions. You will have 2 lives during the event in the plane you have chosen or been assigned to, if you are a walkon. Then we ask that folks become gunners to help protect bases, ships, bombers etc.
