Will send out the orders to fatty tonight. As soon as we find out who the replacement is for dugger I will send out the orders to him. Numbers favor the USN this time around, but again the IJN will have 2 lives for all pilots in Val’s and Kates.

Thanks Jordi .. problem is you are on the US side. We need an IJN CiC for this friday.

iceMAW has contacted me and he will be the CiC for the IJN for frame 3.

Hey daddog, I am a little worried about the numbers for the next two frames. I checked the stats for the last two frames, and the IJN side had about an 18 pilot advantage in both frames, but the results were fairly even, even with the two lives for Vals and Kates. I fear that the new sides might give to big an advantage to the US side (I am scheduled to fly US), especially if you expect that IJN sides typically have lower participation than normal. How do you expect this to balance out? I know that I would not mind fling IJN side unless I knew I would be outnumbered. Then I would not like it at all.

Orders are in the hands of fatty and iceMAW.

TracerX it is so hard to tell what the numbers will be from frame to frame. It was "even" for the most part for frames 1 & 2, (as far as the frame scores). With frames 3 & 4 it looks to favor the U.S. side as far as numbers, but again I hope giving the Val and Kate pilots a second life will help balance it. Nor do they have to be in a Val or Kate again, but take up any AC as stated in the write up.

My Squad Operations have been pretty balanced across the board over the last 2 years so I am not too worried about it.

Of course now that I have stated that frames 3 & 4 will be FUBAR!

Crossing my fingers.. there is always a first time.

oh, this one is a definite IJN win. Fatty will have all the USN planes vulching each other off the CVs and there will be maybe 10 USN pilots left after 15 minutes.

Ok, no worries here then. Bring it on you IJN rice ball eating, sushi lovers. I see your Geisha girls are as old as my Grandma.
