It was his very first FSO. He was forced to use old maps. Still he struggled for months to match the plane sets. VERY difficult to do since this was the first FSO to use the new A6M3. We spent hours going over fuel settings since the zeros fly alot farther than the P40's. Had to instruct me in special terms to disable all the ack at 8 strats and a HQs so that American planes could launch out of A12. Designed the event with Ki84 and Ki 61s. (The KI 43 was historically the most used plane so he had to use substitutes.) Matched the squads and limited the attack objectives to even the fight out for both sides. He intentionally used no wind and no fog vis to allow squads to decide to fight at high or low altitude. Big <S> to the squads brave enough to attack NOE. He really forced the CIC's to think about strike commitments versus defense. And finally, he counted on the excellence of the squads on both sides to find a way to press their pilots and kill or be killed. Did you have fun????? If so, post a screen shot or tell them about a plan or a fight to save your country or kill the enemy. Geez, I feel like we all just came through Burma Backwater with out dated planes... ~~~ Snake ~~~
