Vote for battle and format of the next Scenario

[Guppy35]

Dan,

I have seen you do this in more than a few scenarios now. I am hoping we can work together on it. I'll follow your methodology for design and delivery. This is too much fun not to share and have our side enjoy.

Right down to the kill marks.  

Give it some thought...

btw... Yes, P-40F most likely the 33rd FG or 57th FG.

 

OK Red, I'm making a preemptive strike in this.  Since it looks like North Africa and I have til October, I've got time to get the templates done.  Figuring Spit Vs and IX (early), P40E, F, P39D, P38G, B-25s and A20s.  Started pulling together what I need to get them done.  Since I have templates for the Spits and 25 it's not that much and I need a history project

Could you make me a 109 profile

So how long does the voting go?

My vote

The final tally:

A: 10
B: 3
C: 19
D: 7

1: 15
2: 21
3: 3

And the winner is:

North Africa, one 12-hour frame

The one caveat is that, if there are any insurmountable problems with Tunisia terrain, we'll go with 2nd choice, which is Battle of Britain.

Thank you, folks, for your votes!

Since it's already been brought up here's my take on the 12 hour vs multi day events.  I prefer the multi frame events because it allows everyone to learn from frame to frame and discuss/adjust strategies/tactics.  It also allows for after frame recognition.  Finally, "leave them wanting more".

I flew in TFT for the second half of the event because that's all of it I could make.  I left unsatisfied.  It didn't feel like an event to me, it felt like a gaming session.

That's my opinion.  Take it or leave it.

[Brooke]

I, too, prefer more than one day.  Before the voting, I figured two 12-hour frames might have a shot.  After all, if one is good, why not two?  But, alas, that one had no appeal.

[Bruv119]

I'm concerned with the ageing player base sat infront of the computer screen for 12 hours. 

Risks like DVT, migraines, cramp, poor eyes etc etc. 

Even a middle aged, fit, good looking, killing machine like myself, can only handle 3 hours at a time before I get a little cranky.

I agree with BE that it takes the shine off what a scenario is for me with the thought/planning etc.

Not to mention the missus will  when I say honey I can't help because I'm playing AH for 12 HOURS straight.   But if it's what the majority want then democracy reigns supreme.

[LCADolby]

B, as Winston said; "the biggest argument against democracy is talking to the average electorate".
Have you spoken to these people?!

The twelve hour concept is interesting and was nice to have explored. But, endurance is going a big issue.

I got up to take a break after almost eight hours of flying and fighting on TFT and fell hard asleep on the couch. I didn't wake until the next morning.

I would love to GL in this event, but it would be better for a player that feels they can make the entire twelve hours to lead and ensure plans are executed properly.

I will have eclipsed the half century mark while this event is going on or there bouts, depending on the scheduled day of the event, so sit, stare, and focus performance doesn't increase with age as Bruv eluded to.

I'll likely only fly three or four hours worth of this.

I think that is reasonable amount of time.

btw, I would miss the immersion of the AARs, the threads with battles pics, the many planes reports and planning for the next weekend. A couple of hours over a few weekends has been good for the last 16 years or so. Why change now?

My answer to your question is the reason I voted for a 12 hour format, because I work Saturday's.  I cannot possibly get more than one of those off in a month.  The 12 hour format therefore allows me to play the entire event.  The last scenario event I got one of the Saturday's off and enjoyed it.

Same here, especially late in the year as I have Christmas Parades to cover during November so I usually can't attend during that month. A single 12 hour is easier to contend with than a whole month.

I'm with ya Red.  Problem is I don't see nearly as many folks interested in the immersive part scenarios can offer.  Obviously that's a huge part for me, but it seems like folks prefer to just fly the event now.  I've always seen scenarios as a time to fly with a new mix of folks in a scenario squad.  More often than not the same guys want to fly with their MA squad buddies.  The identity in the scenario is the MA squad not getting invested in the history of the WW2 group they are representing.  I'd love to figure out a way to get that back
