Interesting.    I was just discussing this Current Scenario with ROC last night on the phone.    I'll be in the next one.

BOG is de shizzle, yo.

Could have been for me as well.  

[ROC]

I'll be in the next one.

Bet your butt you will be 

[Masherbrum]

Leave my butt out of this you sexy..........

I'd hope so considering you are registered.

[Masherbrum]

I'd hope so considering you are registered.

Oh.   You might want to get with ROC.   I'm sitting this one out and he knows why and no doubt, completely understands why.   It's good to have someone that agrees ENTIRELY with the circumstances.   

BTW, I feel bad and had called Ethan and let him know of my decision.

Looks great. Just most scenarios and FSO's bore the snot out of me.

Went to a scenario about 3 weeks back. I'm here to sign up with Rud3, go to A1, everyone to A1, if you don't have an assignment A1. I go to A1, eveyone wait at a1, all unassigned to A1. I'm supposed to be on the Allies. Go to a1, I'm at A1, please A1, wait in tower. I'm in tower. All to A1 who don't have an assignment. But I'm suppose to be Allies. Go to a1. I left. Jeeze! Talk about taking a number.


Here's the typical FSO I've been in. What's the target v61. We launch with 50 or 60 bombers. All to v61, get there and everything is dead. What's the secondary target. That's the target, bomb it. Shouldn't there be a secondary target. Quiet, you have your orders. Bomb it. It's all dead. Drop on ack, ack is dead. Please follow your orders and no more questions. So I drop and nada. Big surprise. since it was hit by 60 bombers. 90 minutes of flying and nothing. Just to drop bombs on a single dead vh field. Now someone tell me the point. 90 minutes wasted, gone and nothing to show not even an enemy. To be shot down would have been a godsend.

Then you have the slight advantage if the guy running the scenario is also on your team. He leaves the dar on for a seconds for your side so you get the idea of where the enemy is. It's not as pure as some would have you believe.

Scenarios don't suit all tastes, but folks who haven't flown in one should give it a try at least once just to see what they are like.  Scenarios are a very different experience.

Getback, in scenarios, if you register, you get to pick a side and reserve your spot there.  If you are a walkon instead, you can request a side, but it is up to the CM to assign walkons to the side that needs people the most.  Often, your request can be accomodated, but walkons are used to balance the side numbers.  If you show up near Show Up Time, the time you wait to be assigned to a side is probably 5 minutes, but it can vary a lot depending on how many walkons there are at the time.

that third picture....is that by chance the 44th BG? brown bombers with sharkmouths? because if it is thats me way off to the right with a drone that has an engine out lol.

got three kills on 109's and made it all the way to target to destroy 28 buildings  

wish 24's carried as much ammo as a 29. we ran out of ammo pretty fast.

Yep, it is.  It was a heck of a fight -- you guys fought very well. <S>

[oakranger]

Second pic is a great shot of what the action is like.

So far, this scenario has been dreadful - dreadfully immersive that is. Not had this much fun for a loooong time - completely different style of play compared to the MA's, attempting to stay alive whilst ensuring others (opposition) lose theirs.

Flying into a stream of buff's with escorts, twisting and turning to acquire targets/threats, all the while communicating with wingmen, squaddies and country men - what can be better. Gives a true glimpse what it must have been like for those brave souls on either side doing it for real.

Having a blast flying in BOG - what more could you ask for???

those who take the time to put them together, run them, and those who play in them.
