At the moment, we are concentrating on the Sunday TOD, the next one due to start next Sunday.  There are quite a few new CMs being trained up at the moment, so possibly once up to speed there may be a chance of more Snapshots.  

Do you realise that the Sunday TOD is set at Euro-friendly times?  Even if you are not in a participating squad, it is still possible to take part as a guest with a squad that is - just post a message on the TOD forum asking for a guest spot.

The TOD next week will be starting at 3.00 pm Eastern time, which is 8.00 pm UK time and 9.00 pm CET - your time, I think?  :)

Meanwhile, keep watching here for future (Euro-friendly) events in the works!  :D

Yes, of course it is!  However, in order to CO a TOD, you must first CO a squad in the TOD, and the various squad COs take it in turn to CO their side of the TOD.  LOL, quite a mouthful, hope it makes sense!  :)  To register a squad for the Sunday TOD, go here:  http://events.simladder.com/tod_register_sat.php  Hope to see you in a future TOD!  ;)

wilbuz each squad co will have to co a tod at one time or another.

most tod are 3 frames so depending on how many squads per side will determin your co rotation.

However since i have been in tod (missed 1 tod) i have only not co'd a frame in a tour maybe 3 times.

I agree,   I miss snapshots too, I miss CO'n them form time to time.   I've yet to play a TOD that was as fun as many snapshots i remember .. but I've only played two TOD (they both sucked IMHO).

Is it just a problem of noone wanting to set them up?  

I  took it for granted that there was a snapshot almost every weekend. Now they are gone :(

In the works. ;)

I am looking at running them once or twice a month with 2 or 3 other events. Don't worry, I will not let them die. :)

Glad to hear this daddog, just came to this forum to inquire about snapshots, (my favorite event) and saw that Wilbuz already had.
All!

You will see some new events soon, so stay tuned!

I know that this dirty allied planes are not your first choice, but we fly LW iron sometimes too ;)
If you are interested - please contact me be e-mail.
