I would like to repeat that I am not a fan of the 12-hour format. It's harder for me to schedule, and I feel like I missed out on a lot more, and let my squad down by not being able to fly more. Overall I got to fly for about 1.5-2 hours and that's it. I don't know how anything else went. I feel that when it's split up into frames of 2-3 hours over a series of weekends I feel a greater sense of involvement, as well as I get a better feel for the progress of the overall success (or loss) of a team. I honestly feel like I didn't matter at all in the single 12-hour frame format.
Nothing against the scenario itself, just commenting on the format for future consideration.
