Torpedo-bomber pilots wanted for glory

[Brooke]

"The Pacific War" scenario runs on Saturday's in June.

I'm flying torpedo bombers for Japan.  We are the swords of the Emperor.

We will be hunting the big fish, with names like "Enterprise", "Hornet", and "Yorktown".

We will see silver traces of our torpedo wakes near islands named "Midway", "Santa Cruz", and "Oahu".

We will see sights like this:









And when we die, it will be as heroes.

Who is with me?

Who will be a sword of the Emperor?

Come fly with me, samurai of the air!  Fly for glory!

Torpedo bombing in scenarios is not the same as in the Main Arena.

In scenarios, auto ack is turned way, way down, and there is no 5" or quad 40 mm manned ack.

That means you get in there close and knife those enemy ships in the kidneys.

I've scored 14 torpedo hits in past scenarios and sank 6 ships.  Anyone who is with me, I will teach you how to do the same thing.

I'm not sure if my work schedule will allow me to fly in the scenario, but I would really like to do this!  I'm quite fond of the Japanese plane set, would love to learn more.

If your schedule ends up allowing it, please register and join us! <S>

If it's uncertain, and you can show up maybe for some days and not others, please show up as what is called a "walkon" and join us! <S>

Walkons are folks who show up on game day but who didn't register (generally because they weren't sure which frames they'd be able to play in).

[Rogue9Volt]

Well, I just registered...  Picked IJN.  If my schedule is too crazy, I will ask for at least one day off and fly at least one frame.  These are all friday nights, yes?

[Rich46yo]

Didnt I fly with you in BOB Brook? I'll fly a torp plane.
