-- 10 pm Eastern

Are you going to use Midi's Pearl terrain?  Highly recommended.

[Brooke]

We will indeed have the terrain named "pearl".

[USRanger]

Outstanding!  See ya there!

This was a lot of fun last year! Will hopefully be attending again!

Hi Brooke,
  I was thinking about inviting my squad to participate in this.
Before I do that, could you tell me how it's set up?
For example are there pre-designated "commanders" for each side who
will form up various cadres of pilots into their respective roles/flights?
  Or is it a "just show up and fly something" at the designated time affair?
 
Best regards, Odd

Please do invite your whole squad (and invite other squads as well -- allied squads or nemesis squads). 

If you sign up your squad, you guys can pick one of your guys to be CO of the entire side.  I am happy to have someone volunteer for that role.

In "This Day in WWII" events, players are not assigned to particular planes.  It is not formal in that regard like Scenarios or FSO's.

I think that you'll like this event -- it is the most-popular "This Day in WWII" event, and everyone seems to have a good time.

Hi Brooke,
   Okay, consider The 47 Ronin "signed up". (Is there actually a "sign up" area someplace?)
I think I can field at least a half dozen guys in total; maybe more.
  We'll fly as Japanese, but I won't be stepping into the role of "Supreme Commander";
I've too much on my plate these days and am content being a squad C.O.
 
Best regards, Odd

[Brooke]

There is no sign-up page.  Just show up ready for a good time!

Hi Brooke,
  I put the word out to my squaddies of The 47 Ronin and it looks like we'll be fielding
7 pilots for "Pearl Harbor".
  I thought it might heighten their collective senses of immersion if we prepared ourselves
properly prior to the beginning of hostilities, so I ordered up some "hachimakis"
and will be mailing 'em out to my participating pilots on Monday.



Bribery at its best! 

Regards, Odd

[Brooke]

Excellent! 

[Oddball-CAF]

  Forgot to mention, we're doing the 10PM Eastern U.S. one.
Any other squads doing this one? It'd be nice to have a bit of
coordination at the onset of hostilities.
 
Regards, Odd

It was fun last year.  All things being right with the world, and we will be in again this year.
