Next scenario, Enemy Coast Ahead, RAF vs. LW

[Brooke]

The next scenario is here.



It's 1943, and the Royal Air Force and Luftwaffe are slugging it out for dominance over the English Channel.
 
Gone are the days of the Battle of Britain, with the RAF hanging on by a thread. The RAF is now stronger than ever and is taking the fight to the Luftwaffe. The Luftwaffe has built back up strongly on the Channel Front and is again hitting hard -- with raids to the English coast and airfields full of fighters eager for battle.
 
It is the Spitfires, Typhoons, Mosquitoes, and Mitchells of the RAF vs. the Bf 109's, FW 190's, and Ju 88's of the Luftwaffe in air-to-air combat, level bombing, dive bombing, escort, intercept, and anti-shipping attacks.
 
Please join us for this next stage in the classic battle between the RAF and the Luftwaffe.
 
Show-Up Time for this scenario is 3 pm Eastern Time in the Special Events II arena.

Nice work Brooke Fencer and all the scenario team.

This is a perfect scenario for the Mossie.

You other Mossie lovers out there -- if you don't fly in this one, we are going to confiscate your "I heart Mossies" bumper stickers and kick you out of the Mossie club.

Woot! It took a lot of restraint to keep from begging for info on the scenario forum.

I expect the 109 guys to be out in force for this one.  No excuses.  I know it's not K4s but G6s can do the job

[Brooke]

Indeed.  If you are a fan of the German planes, no excuses not being in this one -- it is one of the classic matchups between the RAF and LW.

Looks good Im down.

I noticed the squad assignments add up to 76 per side. Are you really expecting such low numbers? How will walk on players be handled?

We want to make sure this one fills up.  Walkons will be allowed and used to even up the sides.

It's also not as difficult to start with a low number and increase it in a balanced manner, whereas if you start with a massive number available and one of the gigantic squads decides to take the same ride, if you try to slim it down it requires moving players around...which is never a fun thing to do, and a lot of them will get huffy(not an insult, I do it all the time myself ) and decide not to show up as they feel like their position has been forcefully taken away.
