Master of the Air miniseries, 8th AF action, and the next Scenario

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

Masters of the Air miniseries is coming soon.

It is a Band of Brothers style miniseries -- but about WWII air combat.

Specifically, it is based on the book Masters of the Air, and focuses on the 8th AF and 100th BG throughout the war.

Masters of the Air will run from late Jan through mid March.

To celebrate this series, the next Scenario will run starting in February-ish or March-ish, and will focus on that action.  8th AF strategic bombing with the 100th BG, allied escorts/sweeps, axis interceptors.

It will be grand.  It will be dramatic.  It will be spectacular.  It will be fun.

I'm letting folks know now so that they know it's coming.

I will give more details as we nail down the exact dates.

Cool. Can't wait to hear about it.

We are going to run the upcoming Masters of the Air scenario February 3, 10, 17, 24, and March 2.  It will be a 5-frame scenario

Because --

It is going to be themed on the 100th BG missions from 1944 to 1945 and represent planes across that span.  109G-6's groups will eventually be flying 109K's, and so on.

We will post a draft of the setup soon.

Registration will open this upcoming Sunday night.

If you are a player who wants to CO a side, contact me.

This is going to be epic!

It really is. Every player in the game should be a part of this one. The concept and series is the core reason we are here. Other sim players would want to. I’m going to block off days of work to be in it.

This will be a great event! Needs to be marketed as such. The forums ain't enough, as only less than 10% of the players actually come here. Need to have a post of the front page of AH. Need to see if we can get something on Steam. Need to post in other gaming forums. Need to post in other Sim forums. Email your friends who use to play. Need to have a MOTD starting in February. Post on Reddit, FB, X, gab, truth social, ect.

This will all do wonders to attract more gamers to the event and to AH. 

I'm thrilled and will hopefully be able to fly most weekends [hopefully].

You read my mind.

Sorry wrong place, deleted

Yup! It’s the Aces High Twitter.

All sounds fun I will mention it wherever I can. Lots of active flight sim sub Reddit’s I can blast it on but it’s hard without somewhere to point everyone. Is there a page or anything for this we can link?

Hoping to have a passable write-up by the weekend - at that point we can link back to the ahevents page (once HT fixes the SSL cert on that )

Will keep my eye out. I think the very induced but I don’t know since I told my phone to ignore it when it first happened.

This.

Just spitballing here, but has anyone tried getting in touch with this guy?
Enigma89 on YT
He focuses on multiplayer, & did a couple IL2 1946 online events a few months back...
Believe this one was ~85 people..

[Dadtallica]

If this attracted new players are they allowed to participate in the FSO’s and scenarios during the free trial period?

Would be an important distinction to clarify.

Cool video.

Looks like Ahevents.net also has a certificate issue. I’m ready to blast it out but a bit leery of people getting the certificate block if they come see. Might be best to wait until that’s all squared away.
