Simple Requests

1) Can the skins required be boldly advertised in the exact name as in the clipboard. Add to the write up page would be helpful. I may have missed it.
2) If would be great if I could get some AH Films from each group for a video.
Only voices that would be used are those that apply directly to the event action itself. Small talk is not used.

Thanks in advance.

Animal,

We'll try and work with the skinners to get those in the document.

Thanks for your post.

What is the load out on the 109s expected to be? Gonds?

Thanks

I don't see that precluded.  I'm assuming 109's can carry gondolas if they want.

Registered for axis

The Zach!  Sweeeeeet! 

Xacherof always flies axis so that he can shoot me (his uncle) down.  And shoot down his brothers who fly with me. 

[Yarbles]

Can I fly the P51B THIS TIME 

[Rocco]

Yarbles I do have a couple p51 slots available. If the side numbers work out I can get you in one. Come on in at 7 Eastern and we'll get you set up!

Thank you. I like that plane in the MA

Seriously considering unsubbing after this one. Just believe that scenario should be the best of special events and the one thing that keep bringing people back. I believe this one failed to do so from the onset.

We want every scenario to be excellent in the judgement of every pilot.

That's what we try for every single time. 

Unfortunately, some don't work out the way we wish they would.

Also, players do not all like or dislike the same things.

For example, out of the 68 scenarios I've played in since 1992, there are about 2 where about 100% of the pilots liked everything:  Battle of Britain in 2013 and Masters of the Air in 2024.

Even for some scenarios similar to those that were highly popular on average, there were groups of pilots who didn't like some aspects, such as for Battle of Britain 1997, Battle of Britain 2004, Battle of Britain 2006, Battle of Britain 2008, Big Week 2017, Der Grosse Schlag, DGS II, and Battle Over Germany.

To help get around such things, we never run the same scenario or even largely similar scenarios twice in a row.  We mix it up.

Our next scenario in Feb/March will be different.

So, I'm hoping you give it a go in February/March and it turns out great for you.
