WWII timeline event

[jimson]

From the general forum.

1.   WWII condensed into a tour long war with a starting date of september 1939.

2.   Introduce a Rolling planeset in which planes become available when the date of the arena matches the date of the first known missions of said plane.

So how does this work? One tour equals 6 years? 2 months equals one year? 5 days equals a month? How do we run all the different theatres at the same time?

The resposibily of developing the idea should fall soley to icepac.
There's no need for any discussion.

It's that simple

Why? wouldn't  a discussion help flesh out a possible idea? I dont think that would help at all. Getting multiple opinions might actually spark a actual working plan.

icepac has all the answers.

germany map, or arden map for closer bases.

2 week setup

each year, 2 days

1939-45

change planeset every 2 days.

winner is the side that......captures the most bases?? knocks down strats? leaves most un-molested sheep??

You know we  could take his idea just like anyone elses and pick it apart and maybe get some good from it.

No PAc maps  or anywhere else? You could even run the  same time line  back to back just in  different areas  to make sure all the bigger battles  are there.

that would involve changed entire setups. so we would need to change to a new terrain, set up all the planes and bases and settings. this would involve atleast 1-1.5 hours of admin work. if we leave it Europe, we only need deal with one map and different planes, which is much easier to work with.

Jimson,

I have a two week RPS that runs from '39 to '45 for the ETO, MTO and PTO. It's a linear time line with the sources listed as well. You could stretch each one out to a month if you wanted to or run them as three consecutive TOD's for a total of six weeks. If you're interested I can send them to you and you can see if they'll work.

Sure, let's have a look.

I would say that you would have to start in the spring of 1940 with the invasion of France. We dont have any planes for Poland or Holland.

That's true, even if we wanted to do France how can you do without any French fighters? What I'm thinking(very little) Is at the earliest where can we jump off at without poor substitutions for ac that aren't in game?

[mthrockmor]

One week equals a year, runs 6-weeks. Each week finishes with a battle from that year.
Week 1 (39/40) Battle of Britain
Week 2 (41) Pearl Harbor
Week 3 (42) North Africa
Week 4 (43) Eastern Front
Week 5 (44) Battle over Germany
Week 6 (45) Okinawa

More an SEC or AVA but could be fun. You could have FSO squads take lead in organizing one side, one week.

Boo

We ran an FSO last year that had P-40Cs subbing for P-36s as well Hurri 1s and Spit 1s. Clearly we need the D.520. as nothing in the current AH planeset makes a good substitute.

but what about eastern front early war? I 16s and Brewsters must fight!
