Love these.  Any organized event for that matter.  I love the historical background, I love the history.

That was so much FUN.


Thanks Nef for donating your time to do this. Why there wasn't 100 players in there is beyond me.

Lots of fun. Thought I'd just knock out some bombers, nope, ended up fighting the escorts the whole time after my first bomber pass. Really great fights.

Thanks for putting this together Nef
