We don't have a terrain for that, I don't think.

You could use a korea terrain and make it a continuation (if russia was to clear the korea peninsula)
but it could change things up a bit, a much less common match up

Also Operation Unthinkable (Let there only be land objectives and the Soviets will have more ground forces while the US/Brits will have more Airplanes)

I've was thinking about the alt problem, one way to "force" people to not climb to 40k is to have an incentive to stay low, if there is a land objective that must be taken (with GVs) flying at 40k would be pointless. Instead of focusig on the air - air, focus on supporting the GVs, and getting air superiority

Re: 12 hour BOB

The AH2 terrain contains the large custom cities like London,  Paris etc,  that will not carry over to AH3.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I think this affects any BoB setup regardless of frame length.

Yeah, you are right.  Not having a fully laid out London or Paris really changes the entire event.  Immersion is just not there.

Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.

Im sure the TT can create something,  but until the Terrain editor is fully fleshed out the custom stuff is not there.

They would be in the PTO stuff, too.

As long as the targets are not ships....unless the ack is turned WAAAAAAAAAAAY down and the 5"ers are disabled. Philippine Phandango was fun using B25Hs to attack ships but if the ack is up you can't survive.

Also I just hate attacking ships in general.

I love attacking ships.  The ack does need to be turned down, and the 5" has to be disabled, or it isn't possible.

Bostons, Mitchell's, P40s, 38G Spitfire V with a small group of IXs vs 109F and G2 190 fighter bombers, 87s, 88s, 110s and 111s?

Or we can do even earlier and forgo the Spit IX, 109G-2 and 190. Also add some Hurricanes and Emil's. There are many combinations for North Africa.  :aok

All good ideas..... BUT.....

If we are going to run a 12 hour scenario, I vote for

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adlertag

And I am sure that the Luftwaffe command staff is already picked and ready to go!

Just have to decide who is doing what.

As I said after TARGET for TODAY I will CO the Luftwaffe if we run a 12 hour BoB  or what should be called

ALDERTAG

With the first frame lasting 2.5 hours taking place in the early morning with attacks on ports and radar
then a .5 hour break for CM to close and open logs and CO's to count and set up squadrons.
Then with another 2.5 hour frame taking place mid day with an all out air assault on the airfields. Then another .5 hour break. Again close and open logs and CO's to count and set up squadrons.
Then the final 2.5 hour frame happening late afternoon and early evening with attacks in smaller groups to what ever targets. Then close of frame.

Ever since we ran that 12 hour scenario, I have thought that Battle of Britain would be the perfect situation to highlight the awesomeness of a 12 hour event. It gives all time zones a chance to fly and the numbers for BOB have always been strong. With the .5 hour intermissions, it allows COs to have better counts and side balances before launch each frame. This was the big headache last time. Also, with the event taking place all on ONE (1) day, there is less of the fatal WIFE ACK that plagues many of us. I can easily get one day off from honey dues, but an entire month is a tough sell. I am going to be paying for Dnieper for a long time  :rolleyes:

Anyway,

Those are my thoughts and I am pretty sure that I can convince a large group of JG11 to fly in that one.

Thank you for your consideration and time

Yes.  "The Final Battle" was one of those.

One of these days, I'd like to do late-war Soviet vs. Japan; or late-war Soviet vs. American.
