Question for Wed Nite Snapshot Participants.
« Reply #15 on: September 10, 2002, 08:49:38 PM »
We have not explored one of the more vexing situations of Air War and Grnd support.

The defense and attacking of a ground  convoy with Ack ack included in the convoy might make a interesting  evenings entertainment.  Ground forces of course would always outnumber the attackers and this might present a problem of personnel assignments in this sample of participants..

Suggest a first attempt with 70% grnd and 30% air. with air limited to small bombs and machineguns as was the case when flying off soft grass fields in much of the early days.. or countries..

:rolleyes:      ;)    Anyone out there with experience along these lines. like young Earl's or even Earl's

i'm not sure about a gv V air snapshot.  I find GV's really boring myself, dunno about everyone else though.

Wednesday nights have always been the 327th Steel Talons squad night in the main arena.
HOWEVER,  Wednesday 9/11/02 we are going to try Snapshot - Dunkirk.

Following our first time there, we should have comments to post on our experience.

Looking forward to joining you all there.

Salute !

Just a clarification on the GVs.  More than likely we'll wait for more GVs to come around to have some more variety (and hopefully, GV modelling will be re-visited by HTC when they introduce more GVs.)

just imagine though, T-34s with Il-2s flying overhead going up against Panzers with Stukas overhead.  Of course some 109s and 190s and La-5s and Yaks going at it as well.  That'd be a fun event if we had the vehicles and the GV model was updated.

Thanks for the info.  We'll see what others say tonight before the early ETO goodness!  ;)

Also, if you like tonight's setup...  Fly in the CAP event on Saturday and get your persona for the branching campaign started!!

edit:
Eagle, we'd love to have you guys join the Snapshots as part of your squad night.  They usually run about 60 minutes at most, so your guys should still have time to enjoy some MA action before or after the event as well.  !

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

BigMax I miss WW too!! Snapshots all the way over the races. I would fly in a snap shot most every night if they was going on.

 Looking forward to the new arena when it comes out.

For you Wild Wednesday fans...
