I should make it.  If all goes well with my return flight around 9PM local.  Or, might be late to the party.

Logged on but my game sounds were porked by the game update and it typically takes hours to figure out a fix (if a fix can be found). Sorry, guys.

That's a bummer guys, it was a heckuva fight.

First pass was devastating, bombers fell all around. For the next hour plus we faced attack after attack in a running battle that lasted nearly all the way to the coast. I think we had about 18 or 19 bombers remaining as we turned for home. Brutal, but extremely fun.

I think we found a happy medium on how to handle flight and launches for both sides without penalizing either side for wanting to continue playing. The Luftwaffe gets 40+ minutes of air spawning from A61, and then another 45 minutes of normal takeoff from nearly every field on the terrain, and Air spawns from 106.
