While Fantsy set up's are cool they typicaly are not well receaved, it's not like we dont have plenty of real set ups we could do on real war map's or a lack of areas that could be maped particulary in the Pacific.

Actually it is like we don't have very many real world setups. The battles of Midway, Coral Sea and Guadalcanal can only be revised and rerun so much. Mention the Battle of the Solomons and IJ players chant "Turkey Shoot" (which is what it was). Pearl Harbor and Doolittle's Raid never were practical given the impossibility of actually achieving complete surprise on the enemy. And by the time the invasion of Japan rolls around, the Japanese were really on the ropes when it comes to putting up any sort of significant air forces (though we usually fudge that to balance things). A dynamic campaign where each setup can affect the next at least changes things up some. But then .... that's CAP.

Battle of the Marianas was the "Turkey Shoot", the Solomons involved some pretty tough fighting. The Solomons has some of the best PTO setups, due to the AH planeset limitations, imo.

Are we going to have a private forum for the group on the BBS? I havent received an email in awhile and am curious how much is going on.

Haven't heard back form Skuzzy on that at all yet. I will email him again and see. If not we will make one available on the VF-17 site somehow.

Also for Arlo and Thebug

the Battle of the Phillipine Sea is what is known as "The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot". This is also what is known as the first battle of the Phillipine Sea; when the invasion of Saipan begins in June 1944. The second battle happens when the US lands troops on Luzon in Oct 1944.

The simple fact of the matter is this. There were very little in the way of air battles after mid 1944. Sure there were a bunch of small time engagements that both sides over-claimed what they killed but nothing on the scale of what the Allies faced in the air over Germany. The primary time for PAC setups in the CT would be early in the war with whatever we can get in the way of new aircraft.

Reschke · « **Reply #72 on:** December 11, 2003, 08:51:15 PM »

Go with it Brady. See if you can get Skuzzy on it for me. I think my message got lost in the wild world of the intardnet.

OK I will try him Tomarow.
