SSO - Guadalcanal

[Trukk]

American and Japanese carrier forces battle for control of Guadalcanal!

Overview
Anyone looking for historically based flying is welcome to join the fun.  There is no registration, but if you are interested, a reply here would be help us to better plan the missions.

The goal of each team is to control more bases than the other team by the end of the campaign. Whichever team scores the most points will advance one base towards the enemy as shown on the map.

Trukk I would love to fly this campaign with you, but I don't think I can make the Tuesday and Thursday frames.

A Sunday morning Avenger head count indicates we will have five pilots for the SSO, we would prefer to fly Allied as a squad but will split up as necessary to help achieve a good balance.

No problem if all you can fly is Sunday.  Would moving it back 1/2 hour make any difference?  Or do those days just not work for you?

That's gread OldBull.  Since your squad would be the core of the Allied team, would your squad be willing to lead the Allied effort as well?

[OldBull]

We could do that Trukk, I'll be loggin onto T/S 30 minutes before start-up to get details worked out.
