So if it would be a snapshot Raid on Amman so give the 101 Red Squ. its historical mission in IAF - Spitfire 9!

That's fine - participation is not compulsory.

So, it's not WW2..... but where's the harm in a snapshot taking part a little later? It's not like post-war events are unusual - we had a Korean arena in AW and one of my favourite scenarios of all time was Korea51. Let's give Artik's snapshot a fair chance to succeed.... it obviously means a lot to him.

As it's a snapshot, artik, your squad can fly whatever side/aircraft they like - and as you are the designer, perhaps your squad should be given priority....

Turn up early and claim your rides!

First of a very big to Flossy & the CM team for hosting this event on such short notice.

We will be promoting this event here in Israel on the aviation forums, I expect a big turnout of new subscribers... even if just for this event. Hopefully some will get hooked and continue their subscription into paying accounts. So be ready for lots of new guys flying around like targets

Secondly, this isn't the only non 1939-1945 we've run in Aces High. If anybody still remembers, there was the Historical Event Snapshot of "The Soccer Wars" F4U-11D & P-51D vs F4U-4.

Third and last, I'm hoping the folks who seem apprehensive will reconsider. For the 101st Sqn it would be an honor to fly in historical events tailored after one or another historical squadron's history, represented here in Aces High. For example, we would definately show up for a Polish campaign.

As one of them CM's , I was wondering if all squad ops HAVE to be re-enactments of REAL WWII battles, or are they allowed to be a little loose from that restriction? Maybe even inventive? even?

ViFF · « **Reply #24 on:** July 27, 2003, 05:35:18 PM »

I would definately go with that Stega, especialy if it would be easier for you to work in attrition, resupply, and strategy in your designs.

yeah - way allways REAL WW2 battals?
We can redesign them or make them much interesting or playable.
For exemple lets take Perl Harbor - it can not be played they whay it was in reallity but if we redesign it - not to make a surprise for USAF it could be very interesting event. I think we should be more tolarable to rewrting history. AH it is a game for fun. Maybe we should go out a little of WW2 too. We have some interesting battales out of WW2 period.

AH is still a game
