Would you all like AvA to put up the finrus maps and planesets ???
-
Would be cool if there was a Special event like a Scenario etc held in one of those days as part of the meeting. No ch200, no on time server kill messages- no PMs, just missions and fighting.

Sorry about that. We had two dates to choose from and this one suited most of the folks better. It's about working shifts and the availability of the location. Early booking would sound like an option but since we're priced for their idle season, we're the ones that have to be flexible in case they get a request for something bigger.
Fortunately we can join our forces in the virtual skies!

Sounds great, Got to let the finland players know also. Maybe they have some historical idea of their own.

That sounds great! As a former AvA staff member I salute you for taking the time to set up something especially for us. There should be some plane setups suitable for Finnish missions, but unfortunately I've not kept up to date on what maps are currently available to play on. Something on the Eastern Front with Brewsters maybe? :cheers:
-
I believe we have a finrus map. But I can definitely set up an eastern front. Brewster痴 are a must!!
-
What is the participant count? Any other foreigners than the Danes?
Four weeks... :x :cheers:
-
Speaking of the Danes:
We need a ride from Helsinki Thursday.
We land at 16.40. Is anybody available to pick us up?
-
It has been sorted :aok
See you all there.
-
I just signed up. I wonder why???
-
I am sorry guys. I won't be able to set up something for you all. Real life is getting in the way . I am fighting with insurance for my insulin and my health is not treating me well. Brooke has a great scenario that will work out well for you .. Again, I do apologise ..
-
Insurance companies svck. Your predicament is understandable. No need to apologize. I'd rather you live.

Hey mate, no problem, all the best to you! I am type 1 diabetic myself and wouldn't have survived all these years without insulin, just let me know if there's anything I can do for you? <S>

All packed and raring to go! Just a few things to do: Shut this computer down and load the car. :x :x :x

Threads like this actually make me wanna be Finnish. But ..... remembering that Finland summers are like Texas winters .....

Arlo, as a previous AvA staffer I value your opinions when you open up. I also value your friendship if I've gained any. Most of all I value playing against you whatever the outcome. <S>
Finnish summers are short, but there's light snow. :D

Thank you. I do consider you a friend. If I'm able to visit Finland on my eventual European travels, then I'll make it a point to look you up. :cheers:

Threads like this make me want to FINish something...........

Should you end up visiting Finland on your eventual European travels, tell it on the forums! It was just a few years ago that I learned that one US player had visited the trench museum at my hometown, just a mile from my house! Just imagine how much more he and his son would have experienced about the real life if they had made their trip plans public.

Sounds like a wonderful suggestion. My master's degree will be in museum science (if approved).

Help me out here. I was wondering what the warm dishes on the cloth were. my wife thinks they're tuna helper but I suspect that's a poke at me because I'm the only one under this roof that would eat such. I suspect they are traditional Finnish dishes?
-
Ham-potato casserole or someting like that. Tastes a lot better than sounds (or looks!?).

Actually, that sounds pretty good. Then again, I'm over 50, will eat anything but liver (and may ever reconsider that) and I'm hungry.
P.S. The beers are appealing, too.
-
Yeah, I'm here, just give me a line if ypu're coming to Europe.
Not just Arlo, but anyone having difficulties? :D

Well there ain't no one starving. :rofl

Looks good. If it was beef, it'd be called 'stew.' Ah, who am I fooling? With any decent meat it's a stew. :D

Cool photos, looks like fun. What is the story behind that RC Brewster few pictures back? Just a scale model or 1/12 scale RC streamer combat plane? Scratch built?
-
Hi! That Brewster is a modification of Hobbyking Brewster.
https://hobbyking.com/en_us/durafly-buffalo-920mm-pnf-midway.html
That flies pretty fast because the model is way too heavy.
But anyway, it is a nice and beautiful plane.

Safely back home after a nice 5 hour drive in bright sunshine. They say we'll be getting up to two feet of fresh snow to start the week with so the timing was perfect!
Thanks to Sasmox for hosting, the participants for participating and Brooke and HiTech for providing online amusement, not to forget all friends and foes on the virtual skies for being good sports. :cheers:

A big :salute to all! Unfortunately I only managed to get on for about 40 minutes late in the Tali-Inhala battle, but had some fun fights! Thanks for sharing! :aok
