For me, one of the more memorable moments during the last Coral Sea was landing on the CV at night. The first and only time I've done so.

Cactuskooler, that is a cool shot.

And while I'm thinking of it, thanks for the awesome startup screen for the current version of AH.  Marvelous! <S> 

Are the clouds in that startup screen actual AH clouds?

The schedule has been bumped a week forward because of the holiday(s) that came through on the last event...

The announcement was on the 8'th so the writeup will be out on or about 15'th give a day or two...

That is my guess...

Salute

Glad you like the splash screen. Those aren't AH clouds unfortunately. I found some cloud brushes for Photoshop and painted them over the all blue AH sky.

We are about done discussing changes to it.  Should be out tonight or tomorrow morning.

Its 95%+ the same as last time, with the KI67 Scout being replaced by the G4M1, the land based dive bombers on both sides being replaced by twin engined bombers (G4M1 and B-25C). 6 additional fighters based at Moresby and Lae for each side, and the addition of hangars at a few bases as targets.

We had intended on running another event this time, but some difficulties arose on a specific item which was essential to the success of the new design, so it got postponed.

ROC will be running herd on this one, with Soulyss and Guppy35/Corkyjr acting as his "Herders in training".

Side CMs have not been selected yet, but I will not be doing that this time as I am "tentative" at the moment.

Rules go up tomorrow but they are essentially the same as before minus the items I noted above.

Note that this is a side switch event, you will fly Japanese and American both.  Its a real fun event.

Also, registration will start at around Noon Eastern on Sunday.

One CO is in place and we are still accepting offers for the other position.

ROC will now be the source of all information for the event.
