Great group the 78th. I've flown in both frames of their mini scenario, and have had a blast. If you like the immersion of historically based game play check  them out.

Stop by the custom arena this Sunday (8/28) evening 6:45pm EDT. not sure about the allied side but the axis could have used a few more people in both frames.

Guadalcanal Map


American forces are behind the eight-ball!
They need to take the next two frames to win the campain.
If the Japenese can take just one more frame, victory is theirs!

Note Change:  For frames #7 and #8 ordnance will be enabled on fighters.


Imperial Japanese Forces - Frame #5 Visual AAR

Mitchel Going Down


Wingman in Trouble


Hellcat #1 Down


Now It's 2v1

Truk,

Sorry, that I didn't see this earlier.  Besides my poor connection lately, I would definitely enjoy this type of play.  Take a look at my sig......  :D

Also, I am promoting this upcoming setup in the AvA starting tomorrow...... this Friday Oct, 7th.  Sneak peek poster here.  Check out the Arena and Forum for more info.  Link below.

I would love to.  I will do my best to try.  My biggest setback right now is the current ISP disconnects that seem to plague my playing time.  Very hard to participate in any kind of special event.

But any of the campaign folk may find some of the equipment in the AvA to practice.  I will ask Jimson if you need special consideration for planes not enabled, if any.  We can see what he thinks.

Trukk and I did something similar to this way back in FA years ago and it was a blast! Trukk is a heck of a nice guy to deal with and a great squadron of guys there as well. <S>!

This squad fits exactly my needs:
1. historical accurate
2. events
3. all kinds of planes

The only thing is that I only can fly GMT timezone. Does the razorbacks fly this timezone?
