I don't consider that a low number. 0 would be average given the scale. If the scale was 1-10 my score would've been a 7.5.

Tunsie, what would you rate it?  -5 is hated it.  0 is you could take it or leave it.  +5 is loved it.

Howdy, guys.

Folks should rate the scenario however they feel.  The scale means -5 = hated it, 0 means take it or leave it, +5 = absolutely loved it.

Just a note on the statistics of it, 0 is not the average of scenarios.  If the average of scenarios were zero, there would be no point running them, as folks wouldn't care if they ran or not -- equal preference for them to play in it or skip it.  Anything on the + side, though, means that they had fun and liked playing in it (with higher number meaning the more they liked it).  Anything on the - side means they didn't like it and would have preferred not to play in it (with larger negative number meaning the more they didn't like it).

I don't say this to change anyone's vote -- just to clarify what the numbers mean.

I can think of nothing offhand that would make it better... :noid

It would have been a 7 on a 1-10 scale...kinda like mak...

Thanks for clarifying the scale.  I'll give it a +3, which still somehow feels lower to me than it really is.

It had:

- great terrain; clouds were wonderful except they were a little hard on my FR. I have graphics settings set pretty high for skinning and forgot to dial them back
- good balance in the planeset
- great leadership and overall organization
- great competitive players and great sports

It lacked:

- player numbers (I think by the last frame there were only 30+ per side)
- limited scope and scale (I know, its a function of low numbers)  Just basically a couple of B-17 formation intercepts per frame.  Still a good time, but I really think I'd  enjoy one where there was more uncertainty.
- the icons seem so easy compared to what I remember of old day scenarios.   I miss having to strain eyes to make out dots and the chance of unseen bounces.

Overall very enjoyable, I'll fly it again.  Congrats and hearty thanks to the organizers and leadership on both sides, and to the players who participated!

Saturday summer afternoon so you can pick up 3 European players makes no sense.

 :headscratch:  would you mind elaborating a little bit, regarding your post? I don't understand what you mean by it....

I rank this running of the Big Week scenario at a +3

I was discouraged a small bit by the numbers of attendance dropping off after the first 2 frames, especially regarding the 4th frame's low numbers....

Outside of that, this scenario was a hoot to participate in and the planning, missions, organizing and communication (at least on the Allied side of it) was pretty much "top shelf"

The battle/fights with the Axis side was great as well

Thank you to all the Scenario CM's, the CO & XO of both sides and to all the volunteers that stepped up to make this event come to be! and for the fun and entertaining enjoyment that all of you afforded the AH community.... It was and is very much appreciated

 :salute  &   :cheers:
