Kuya's Thursday night mission in the MA

To who and what did you suggest Stampf?

In the other thread. 

Kuya has been asking for someone to organize a prop driven, 'spirit of the event' coordinated, all Luftwaffe defense.  I suggested that if he would only... hit the knights...and give me 30 more minutes, that I would volunteer my time to do just that.   It's not about switching countries.  Me and my mates switched to rooks last week.  However, I can't lead and organize the above from the bish or rook side.  Other than the guys here on the bbs, I don't know the bish numbers guys or rook astronauts.  I don't even pay attention to their names when I make them go boom.  I do however, know the knights...and can field 40 plus 109's and 190's very easily.  It's that simple. 

What do you really think you will get in the MA?   Why should folks take all that time to climb out and intercept you in the planes...you want them to fly?  Strangely enough...I know some guys who long to do just that.

Good luck.  Maybe I'll see you over Bishland Thurs.  I'll prob be alone though and burning kerosene.

Can't knock old Kuya for trying.  We flew from Bish for the first two weeks.  July was going to be Knits and August Rooks.  He was trying to set it up as an equal opportunity have fun.  No one is required to do it, just throwing it out there if folks want to.

Obviously the request for prop driven is based on the actual scenario.  Folks gotta have fun whatever they do, so if a jet makes ya happy, go for it

Next month, it will be easier for you to coordinate a defense as the attack will be from Rookland, so don't lose that thought

Weak Dan.  Very Weak.

We are laughing and rolling on the floor with our hounds and potato's in our ready rooms.  According to posted 8th AF plans, knights will not be hit.  Hehe...we love you guys...we really do.  And we are really going to love you in the fall.

You know I prefer wood over turbine...any day.  And so my offer to lead an all prop, all luft defense stands.  

See ya up.

 

Edit:  Potatoes....lol....equals.... loose french women...

Where are you seeing Knits won't be hit?  And when did this get even remotely serious

Keep in mind in a couple weekends we're going to be upping from England and hitting targets in France.

Stampf, what Guppy said was true about the equal oppurtunity way of planning the missions.  Last week, I had posted that I would alternate each week between Bishop and Knight.  This will help wrangle in more players for both sides of the mission.  Plus rotating the launch countries helps also.  It's the best overall approach to accomadate 3 countries.

As for the time issue, we actually went up an hour to make it easier for more players.  It's possible that it could be upped some more time if many players need an extra 30 minutes or an hour.  Again, it's the best approach to accomadate more players.

This is week 4 and we're still smoothing out the rough edges.  I'm sure in a couple of months from now we'll be running a well oiled machine unless the zombie apocalypse happens.

Oh this is serious stuff man.  About the only thing more serious than this is...getting Midway his (good) name back!

Well if you decide to hit the knights...I can probably organise a welcome party.

Next week will be Knight.  This will give you plenty of time to organize a party for us.

Excellent.  Looking forward to the opportunity.  <S>

Do I have to escort the p47s and P51s again? hmm task well suited for the B38s

I am really happy and excited for all of us that Kuya has taken the time and made the effort for the The 8th Air Force Missions.  I think most of us agree that these missions add to our game and can be enjoyed by many.  Kuya has done alot of work to make sure that at these missions, everyone can have a place at the table, friend and foe alike.  He has created a website for organizational purposes and planning that is ready to take us as far as we want.  By joining the 8th AF you are agreeing to simply fly the one mission a week with the 8th AF squad.  You will not have to give up and squad affiliation you currently have in the mains or FSO.  I think there are players who have not done FSO's or scenarios and by flying the Thursday 8th AF missions they may want to try some more.

This is Kuya's idea and his baby.  I am here to support him as much as I can.  There are plenty of command slots and pilot slots.

[Butcher]

Without AAKuya I'd probably would of quit the game two weeks ago, given me new life and interest in the game, get to meet up and fly with friends from all countries and squads.

I will certainly be on hand for any help if needed, thanks to Zooney and Corky - the mission has been not only fun but outstanding to learn from

You guys appear to be having a blast...WTG!
