Hmmmm, may motivate me to find some time to play AH in prep for this appealing event...... :cheers:

I think it will be a very active and fun scenario.
Lot's of fighter combat around tactical bombing and fighter-bombing.
Here's what it's looking like so far (though not finalized yet), boxes being targets, ovals being take-off bases:
Frames 1 and 2:

Frames 3 and 4:

sounds great

Looking forward to this one. June FSO had a similar planeset, Spit IX, Spit VIII, P-47D-11, P-47D-25 vs 190A-5, 190F-8, 109G-6. I felt it was a really even match up. Each side won a frame and the deciding 3rd frame was only a 3 point difference. There were some really good fights too.
Any word on what time the frames will be running?

We're going for 3 pm Eastern as Show-Up Time.

That may be an issue for me. I got promoted to cashier and run 3-11s so I may miss them depending on my work schedule. As they say you have to make money to play.

Make it 5 pm and I might get keen.
Either way, it has to be a bit more playable than last time it was run.
Allies had to take 22 bases on Sicily and had fly troops in from Africa or land them in lvts and any death meant loss of one of your 3 rides. Volunteers not so easy to get in that one. Oh and AXIS had panzers.

Totally different design.

I'm very much looking forward to this one.

I sat that one out because it looked awful all those years ago. This one is completely different and only really borrows some of the planeset and the area of operations.
-
I hope this is much better then the one we had years ago. I spent 2 hours in a goon transporting troops after the base was down. Only to get shot down when 190s came to cap the base.
This looks much better.
-
This one is going to be one of the most-fun ever.
It's going to be air combat start to finish, with great planes on both sides.
-
Hopefully I can attend, seems like it’s gonna be AMAZING!
