D-Day +7 Excellent scenario design
« on: June 24, 2017, 12:14:20 PM »
Salute to Redtail7 and AKWarhwk for the excellent scenario design.  :salute


Many ETO scenarios devolve into a cloud of 109s having their way. While I fell victim to such a cloud in Frame 3, the Allies seemed to win this one.

Launch to target close enough to allow some variation to the routes (at least to the task groups) that kept the Allied defenders guessing.

Forward fields close enough to allow survivors to rearm.

A balanced plane set.

Really, one of the best set ups in recent memory.  A great time. :banana:

I'm sensing a lot of anger from the 109-ers.

From my perspective, it was a balanced scenario.

There are at least two scenarios out there that pit P-40s vs 109s. Historic, yes. Balanced?

The outcome of this one had more suspense.

"One of the best" is not "best setup ever." But, I understand. English is the language of 2/3 of the winners of '45.  :cheers:

I up A-8s in field defense quite often in the MA.  :neener:

You have my support as well AKwarhwk.  I know how much work you put into the design.  You configured the planes to allow limited JABO attacks.  I zipped through the air and watched a number of great fights.  The Aces dueled each other well.  The objectives were timely and the event ran the planned 3 weeks.  Great job!
