September FSO: The Push West - A Russian Winter

[Spikes]

As 1942 gave way to 1943, the Soviets continued to push west in the Rzhev area during the winter months. While the fighting took a large toll on the advancing Soviet armies, it created an interesting pocket structure all the way to Velikiye Luki that left some German Army and Luftwaffe units strung out all the way to Rzhev.

This FSO is set to depict the air battles that happened over the skies of Russia during the winter of 1942/1943.

Thank you to all who flew in Frame 1, unfortunately the actual numbers were not what the side splits indicated.

Kommando Nowotny has been moved to the Allies for Frame 2, and most likely Frame 3, to accommodate for the imbalance. This has been reflected on the AHEvents site as well.

Allies in 2. Can’t wait.

That’s the last time I go to a wedding with an open bar prior to FSO 

Hope everyone had fun… I remember nothing
