That's right gents unpack your bags we're staying in the PTO one more week. Next week will be The Slot
Confirmed Planeset

M-8
LVT (non-cv fleets only)
PT Boat
Axis:
A6M2
Val
Kate

Level bombers have not been finalized but if they are included it will be the Boston for the allies and Ki-67 for the axis.
Ack and fuel will be CT standard
Fleets will be at half the MA standard hardness
(4k for cv's and 750lbs for the rest)
Enjoy. :)

Let me be the first to say, NO level bombers. Let's try this setup once without the Ki67's.
-
Looks Good. No Jets, No Alternate Reality, No Finn/Russ, not Based on Post WWII.
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
would you consider adding the A6M5 and the Hog/Kitty towards Wednesday/Thursday
Would be interesting to see the stats for early week and then late week!
-
Interesting idea there Storch I'll give it some thought and discuss it with the staff.
-
Add the F4U and maybe the P40E to simulate the New Guinea theater?
-
OMG!!!! Back to back PTO setups.....naahhhh....this can't be true?!?
Slash....what kind of cr@p you been smoking to write something like that up there!! The Old Man gonna have a fit you been breaking into his private stash again......

Agree. Added that F4U-1 :aok

What Storch said might be a good idea. Another good idea thats floated around lately came from VF-27's Erg. His suggestion is to have less models per setup. I like his suggestion, I may not know what his views are on it, but to me, it would allow more setups.
If you concentrated on a maximum of two fighter types for each side when possible on these setups might become more interesting, plus it would give you CM's more options. The 7 model on this side 6 on the other have been done time after time, and ideas are running out for new setups.
How about a setup with say P-47 D11's Hurri II's or a applicable spit model against the 109F, OR ,,,,NOT AND ,,G-2, and the FW-190A5.
You could use the same map later with later models , or dfferent models. Same map but different setup. It would work in PTO's, ETO's, MTO's, and Eastern Front.
Justa thought
:)
-
I like the idea, too... maybe 2 each side to start with, then add a 3rd on wednesday or so.
-
Before people get carried away, I'd like to state for the record that I have not said whether anything will change as the week rolls on or not. I simply said I will give it thought and discuss the matter with the rest of the staff and we'll see. :)
IF anything does happen it will not happen before Wednesday night.
-
Lets try it with out the KI-67 and Boston. The KI-67 has no place there and the Bostons are a bit frustrating for Zeke drivers.
-
I have talked bombers with Brady and we've decided to give the setup a go w/out level bombers and see how it goes.
-
Good deal. Guys have been asking for that for awhile. I think it will work out ok.
-
Whoohoo! :D
Was starting to suffer from withdrawal.
If you're counting votes, here's another to leave the level bombers out.
Lowe. Agreed on the suggestion you attributed to erg. I made exactly the same pitch back in December to limited response.

Actually, after thinking about it, the 68th Lightning Lancers had 25 P40E's and Guadalcanal starting in November so I think they should be in the set from the start.
-
"This could be fun. would you consider adding the A6M5 and the Hog/Kitty towards Wednesday/Thursday?"\
Gee somebody posted a setup like that too....im trying to remember who.
-
I was just being tongue and cheek Storch. Its nice to see others express an interest in adding those a/c.
Two weeks of PAC? I like it. Lets do this more often.
As for the Ki-67, it has no place in that setup, F4Fs have no chance to catch it. Ju88 (Bettys) I can see.
-
i needa ki67 for this setup! NEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;) looks good time for my f4f ride and a6m.
-
As for the Ki-67, it has no place in that setup, F4Fs have no chance to catch it. Ju88 (Bettys) I can see.
The problem with the Ju88 is they carry more ordanence than the Peggy about 6000lbs worth.
-
Disable formations.
-
The Kate is a lvl bomber
-
Like a single Ju88 (Betty) is some big threat? Dont matter, leave it out.
-
Sounds like a good one.

Great news. Thank you.

Looking forward to this one. :aok

Argh!
What is with all you bomber haters.
Gimme my bombers back!
Not even an A-20 to play with.
:)
-
You got bombers. Kates, SBDs, TMBs, Vals. Have at it. :D
-
You can keep your Kates, SBDs, TMBs and Vals.:p
-
Pretty sure we will. :D
-
Can you return F4F and CVs :confused:
-
keep out them lvl bombers and this map is a winner. f4f vs the a6m2 is a touch match for the lone allied, but without the worry of huge ki67 blazing away overhead, this could be fun. IF bombing is going to happen, escorts will have to happen. I LOVE IT!
Soulyss you da man.
Thanks for remembering that idea lowe, I hope we start doing this more often.
-
This map and the fights have shown that less is more. Simple, enhances the best combats, and without the twin engines we saw all manner of Kates, Vals etc. up.
This one is a pure winner to my mind.

PS
Could we someday see a P-38 Pacific feature? Like 38s versus the A6M5 and Ki67? Arlo will do all the work for you.
Just asking.
