Please, for the love of ____, we need 11 more bomber pilots
« on: April 29, 2016, 06:44:17 PM »
We really, REALLY need 11 more bomber pilots for the Scenario coming in June.

Can you help us?

It is *so* fun!

Please step up.

All you have to do is have GLORIOUS, AMAZING bomber fun on Saturdays in June and register for bombers here:

http://ahevents.org/events/scenarios/current-or-next-scenario.html

You'll be glad you did!  :aok

People will probably be so happy that they flew in this Scenario that there will be several children named after me.  "Brooke" works for boys or girls!

I'd commit to a single frame for the scenario, but all four is out of the question.
Perhaps modifying the registration page to accomodate a single frame
commitment might be an option?

That's why I voted for the 12-hour setup: figured it would be easier to get one full day off to myself rather than four half-days (five including May practice). I already know I'll have to miss the June 11th frame.

Brooke even though I signed up for the IL2s, I am wide open to transfer over to a buff ride if needed - I'm flexible for the attack/bomber role.

Post a picture of yourself in a yellow polka dot bikini and I'll do it.

Seen it, some things can't be unseen.  You don't want this.  Be careful he doesn't come back with "sign up or he WILL post the picture".

Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.

Sadly, but honestly, I think the days of AH having enough players to hold events like this are over.

Ranger, I thought that too in the recent past, but IMO once the new version is out, and HTC's plans regarding marketing and new game mechanics (possilby) hatch, that'll change.  Again, just my opinion, but considering the huge numbers inferior products still get in this WW2 genre, it's certainly far from impossible. 

It can be done.

We probably can't have events with 100 people per side or more these days.

However, much (maybe even most) of the WWII aerial combat action I read about doesn't involve, from any given combatant's point of view, 100 planes fighting 100 planes.

So, it is plenty historical and still lots of fun to have events that have 40 or even less on a side, if we can manage that.

I'm currently signed up for a Yak, but I'll be happy to wear, I mean fly a Tu-2 if we don't have enough bomber pilots.
