And? Maybe I couldn't.
EDIT: I *did* say I wasn't one to speak, and started off with that plainly stated. The rest was my opinion on why the 12-hour shift doesn't appeal to me and doesn't work for me.
Well to answer your concerns, none of what you mention was really ever an issue in TFT. Frame 1 was three airfield targets in relative close position in France, Frames 2 and 3 were Amsterdam and Paris. These coordinated the fight for those 3 four hour periods very well and the Allies planned missions to the hour and executed them very well and it created running fights throughout the day.
The fight was coordinated and the scoring, thanks to ROC, was perfect for the entire event. It was one of the most evenly scored events that I can ever remember and reflected the overall game play. I witnessed the game planning and strategy from the Allied side and it was similar to most every other scenario game planning I have been apart of.
Can it be done again? in AH2 yes. In AH3... Not with the same objectives as we lack the custom mega city strats in AH3. Major scoring changes would need made, not impossible but it would have to be calculated up over again.
I vote for any scenario to be 12 hour format as it is the only time I can commit as a player at the moment with our new baby, if it remains at 2-6PM EST (I say 2PM as I log on early) for 4 Saturdays, I can simply not participate every frame.
As for what historical time frame, I don't care.
