Are you just being rhetorical or do you expect a response?

I'll let you decide...

I agree with both of you AN and JAB. I am all for substitutions just so that we can run more scenarios...hell that is why I wanted to join the CM team in the first place. I live for the scenarios and anything I can do to get more of them is great.

It just seems that the majority of guys that fly in the events get all bent out of shape about substitutions.

I've decided. (This was a rhetorical response.)

There's been more than one successful scenario in AW that featured substitutions. That, of course, is what a truly creative team is forced to do when the models don't exist (you obviously agree).

The only other option is to actively campaign for models specific to a particular scenario (imo). For this to be effective, I suppose all of the pro-scenario players need to unite behind one scenario (requiring substitution) and to campaign for that one planset to be completed.

ShruG - just thinkin' outloud here.

I meant to address this in my earlier post but forgot. You are not entirely correct here Shane. While the major focus of the TOD is on squad participation and squad vs squad stuff, there is still an opportunity for those without a squad to fly. All you have to do is be a guest with a normal registered squad. Any squad you join in the special events arena does not carry over to the main arena.

If you really want to fly in the TOD let me know, you can be a guest of the FDB's. This will at least give you a chance to fly in it without having to be in a squad.

Gotta warn you in advance though...dont let Animal get behind you at any time no matter what and dont ask mrfish about his frog.

Warnight was basically a small, one-frame event with an objective, like kill this base, or take over this field, or kill more of thier guys.

Mine were almost ALWAYS historical, ranging from Okinawa to Italy to Midway. Sometimes they were semi-historical, like a carrier battle in the Mediteranean by a Luftwaffe Carrier and by a British carrier. If you don't know, the Germans were building a couple carriers, but, never finished

daddog, I'd be glad to help out any way I can, just email me at alieneagle69@hotmail.com

This sounds exactly like our Snapshots. We run those every Saturday ... or at least we're supposed to.

Yes, warnight were always a blast, this and Krushers fightertown night were well worth the time and a welcome change from arena play.

So, how was OshKosh this year?

Aub

Oshkosh was amazing as always. I suggest that anyone that enjoys AH would be in heaven at oshkosh. Where else do you find several hundred warbirds, thousands of various A/C along a flight line that stretchs 5.3 miles long.

The Vickers Vimmy was a Highlight this year. a replica WW1 Bomber. Howard Pardue is also an anual favorite of mine, he always does some great ACM in a F4F, F8F, Seafury or one of his other warbirds.

One must always catch Bud Anderson and Chuck Yeager swapping stories or Flying around in their Mustangs.

This Year we camped with a new Friend, It was Amelia Earharts Great Nephew, He was there as a family repersentative for a Amelia Tribute. He came with his teenage Son and was camped next to us. Our Group included 4 teenage girls. Do the math, 4 girls, 1 boy, They were bound to get to know each other.

I personaly had a pretty quite week in comparision to past years. I talked with pilots and some old friends, but nothing unbeliveable. (like a B-17 flight or being introduced to Yeager)

You should consider join us next summer. The Convention is held the last week/weekend of July.

BTW Aub...

Get Back here with that Beer. Everyone knows we cheeseheads cant live without beer.

Scanning back thru the posts, This TOD sounds like it would be fun.

The 2 Best Scenarios I flew in (Niemen and Cartwheel) the CAF flew as a squadron. We filled the slots and found replacments as needed. Flying with your squadies in a scenario is probably the best fun in any sim.

Grimm, shoot me an e-mail about your event. Thanks!
Thanks Aub, I sent you an e-mail.

Thanks for all the feed back guys. We will try the Aces High version of KOTH every Wednesday for a while. Hopefully it will be a hit.

We are still talking about a Tuesday night event and you all gave me several ideas.
