Suggestions regarding next Scenario (October, 2016)

[puller]

  The Axis have to scout 2 full sectors, the Allies have to scout 1 1/2 sector.  Again, freeing up more planes to attack a side instead of search.  Balance it by giving the Axis 262 scouts so they can cover the larger area faster?

Why do you think this?

I think it would be a lot easier to cover closer in, but regardless --

Given that there are folks who don't like it, I will make the areas equal.  The only reason I made them unequal is that it conformed to sector boundaries, and I figured that would reduce the probability of "The ships are 2 miles outside the area limits!" sort of thing.  But it's easy enough to change it.

I'll do it tonight.

just to be clear, the real event will be played in AHII unless an act of god gets 3 running by then right?...

It will be whichever version of AH is the official released version at the time of the event.

Draft 6 up with adjusted shipping area.  (Remember refresh to get latest.)

Target for Today participants:

How did it go for anyone who got shot down quickly into the 1-hour flight segment?

In past events, if I had too long a delay between when someone got shot down and when they could fly again, a lot of people just left.

Did that happen much?

What was typical flight time in TFT from takeoff until you were in a fight?

I'm sure some people left if they missed a launch window, but I bet most welcomed a break. Others just rode shotgun to be an extra set of eyes.

I don't remember how long it took until initial contact in the first phase, but after that there was always something important thing to do.

The action was pretty much constant through the whole frame.  About halfway through I pulled my plane over in the grass and went and ate.  I'd imagine that getting shot down after a couple hours would be a nice break.

cant wait to hide the Cv under the dirt...

   I reported a bug in beta a while back where the PT boats go right into the land and continue..I can only assume it hasn't been fixed.

Is there a list of both sides groups that have been claimed by group leaders?

[Brooke]

Swareiam would be the one to post what he is thinking for allied side.

We still need an Axis CO.

Nefarious, how about it -- Axis CO? 

[LCADolby]

Hey Devil, what about you COing axis, I trust your judgement and I am sure many others would encourage the same.

I won't have the time for all that come October, Dolby. Thanks for the nomination though.

A few hours in, I took a bad one, got shot down about 2 minutes into a window.  It perturbed me, but I took a break, stretched my legs, and came back ready to keep going.

The way things ebbed and flowed, that was about the only time I think I was heavily engaged right after a window closed.  It might be a good idea to try to time it so major clashes happen not long before the window, but that's a pretty tall order.

I know I always felt busy during TFT, but I really don't remember what climbout times were actually like.  It all kind of blurred together.  I just remember every time I upped, there was someplace I had to be urgently.  Not a lot of dead time I can recall.
