I know the time change is rough, but as said in other threads, this is a one time modification to the time.  It's a round world, and there has been for the past 15 or so years worth of events a time slot that put someone up at 3am flying an event.  One time, just One Time, we are giving that section of the globe a break, taking the mid afternoon out of the pacific, taking the evening out of the US East coast.  This is not a world changing event, it is a one time relief for people who have taken the brunt of the time selection for an overwhelming part of scenario participation.

Still hope to see as many of the European friends as possible, but trust me, we do understand the lateness of the hour.

When I worked nights, I did a 12 hour shift and came home for 3-4 hours sleep prior to the frame. I made a ritual of it; black coffee, quick plate of eggs with toast and my pre-flight meal was ready while I sat waiting in the tower for 30 minutes for everyone to show.

I have a question, what happens to the pilots of ZG-76 after frame 2? I'm weighing the options and may take a Luftwaffe ride.

ZG-76, JV44 and JG400 are all units which are available for the Axis CO to use on those frames only.  The players crewing those units will come from the other normal units.  We are not registering for those units in particular since those particular planes/units were not active over the who length of the event.

while i utterly despise flying the 51, its not going to deter me from flying 38s. i love the 38, and i love the escort runs, so i say its worth it

I for one will NOT be staying up until 3am to start a scenario! I say staying up because I normally stay up until about 1:30 ish on a Saturday night anyway and there is no point going to bed first.  Going early is not an option as I would not be able to sleep.  No I am going to have to give this one a miss, unfortunately, but I do hope this not a permanent switch or there will be no point in continuing to play.... I only play in the scenarios now.  I'm very disappointed to miss what sounds like will be a great scenario.  :(

roc has said multiple times this is a ONE time deal, to give a break to those who have had to stay up to play @ 3 am... sorry you can't make it.

Happy Jack's Go Buggy all the way for me! :aok P38s or P51s. Both my favorite planes actually since redtail got me hooked on the 38. <S>


You'll be seeing the 20th FG in the listings as a majority of the 20th FG in the MAs. We've already talked it over and 8-10 squaddies including me already are waiting to register in the Loco Busters slot for the scenario! <S> all cant wait for this one...
