2 B17 spots and 2 P51B- P51Ds available!
Only 1 slot left for Axis!
Brooke, you may need to increase the slots! I think allied could use about 4 more fighters or so.
This is a very good problem to have! A very good sign for the scenario. I know of at least 3 more players who would like P-47s - it might be a good idea to increase the 56th FG to 8; the same size as the other two FGs.
I do have concern about the size and concentration of the groups however. If we have a single bomber stream of 42 bombers (14 players x 3 B-17s ea) plus 2 or 3 covering FGs and 2 or 3 attacking Gruppen, it could turn into quite a stuttering slideshow on people's monitors when combat starts. The maneuvering and firing of so many planes in a small area is sure to stress a lot of people's PCs.
Might I suggest adding a second bomb group - the 91st or 303rd? With a main group and secondary group hitting different targets (or the same target at different times) it could spread the action out and lessen the stress on people's CPUs and connections. It could also provide a more interesting tactical planning situation for air commanders, with different routes and timings rather than a single large group. Just a thought.
I should be able to make 3 or 4 frames, and am standing by to fill in wherever the need is greatest. I'm happy to fly bombers or fighters, Allied or Axis. Would love to see this scenario become as memorable as the old Der Grosse Schlag scenarios.
