This night at 22:00 (GMT+1), 4^Stormo Caccia "F.Baracca" switched from Rooks to Knights.
We will be more than honoured to organize joint operations between Regia Areonautica's 4^Stormo and Luftwaffe's JG2. As it was in the real life, with C.205V at 15-20K and Bf109G providing high cover.
And to practice LW tactics togheter with some of the best Bf109 driver I have fought against.
I'd like to thanks all my old Rook mates. It was a pleasure to fly and fight with you. I had many friends among Knights when I was Rook. Now it will be the same. A special thank to our sister squad 1^Gruppo Caccia "Asso di Bastoni". We look forward to fly with you again ASAP.
Good hunting!

A warmhearted welcome and a big <S> to both the 4th 'F.Baracca' and the 1st 'Asso di Bastoni'
I can't tell how many times we fought eachother, they were always great fights. Whenever I saw a 205 or 202 perform some great manouvres when I closed in I suspected the worst (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) Tonight I was closin in to Visconti in his 205 which developed in a rollin scissor... then I heared pings just when I was gettin close for the nail... a kill message LAMPO got me (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Very nice to our Italian friends filling the textbuffer with killmessages for the knights now (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Beware rooks and bish, another dangerous squad joins the Knight conspiracy (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
<S>
PS: You don't know how often hristo called me private bout you guys joining the knights. He's gonna be mighty pleased and me with him.

Jeng,
thx for the warm wellcome. Actually only the 15 pilots of 4^Stormo Caccia switched to Knights. I talked to 1^Gruppo CO, but dunno what exactly they will do.
I hope we'll have them with us ASAP, as I wrote above.
In the meantime I'll kill Bishops as usual.

Thanks for the Fw 190A-5 HTC!
Ladysmith wants you forthwith to come to her relief
Burn your briefs you leave for France tonight
Carefully cut the straps of the booby-traps and set the captives free
But don't shoot 'til you see her big blue eyes

THANK GOD !!!
I no longer will have to strain my old eyes trying to see those 205's against the ground (They are the WORST when U're colourblind!...can't number the times I had some in my sight but didn't shoot since I wasn't sure!)
I am verry pleased that "The Ragazzis" are comming with us & will be more than glad to participate in a JOINT OPS against Bishes (Or ROOKS)!!!
BENVENUTA A TUTTI ! (http://geocities.com/r337m0nk3y/net2/icon15.gif)

Salute! 4th Stormo Caccia!!!!
Since I came into Aces High I felt that two of the finest teamwork squads were in Rookland. You and "Asso di Bastoni"...Whenever I had a fight against a Rook 205 I was checking 6 all time...and never failed sooner or later another 205 came there. You are really awesome people and I am proud you are here!!!!
Now lets wait for Visconti&CO. to come to Knitland too (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Then we'll be Luftwaffe and Aeronautica versus the world!!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

It's great to be back in knitland. A <S> to our former Rook allies; while I enjoyed fighting with you guys on our side, it just seemed natural to us to carry the Baracca cavallino rampante on the icon above our heads.
<S> to our new knight allies, and thank you for the fine reception you have given us.
And finally, <S> to the 1o Gruppo, which has always flown faithfully by our side; we will fly together soon, whether (hopefully) as knights, or (certainly) over the sands of Libya.

Now this is good news!
Welcome your fine and talented squad to the Knights!
I sense some great scenarios with our two squads!
Salute

Welcome guys. By the way what does Stormo Caccia "F.Baracca" mean? It sounds like a Police album or something. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
-
What can I say GATT, been flying basically on the same team as you going back years in WB's...welcome aboard, again! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
-
Blur, I love the Police (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Anyway, 4°Stormo Caccia Terrestre (CT) means: 4th Fighter Group (land based).
Major F.Baracca was the italian WWI ace of aces with 34 confirmed kills. He flew Nieuport and Spad fighters (take a look at the last OSPREY's "Neuport Aces of WWI").
He died during a strafe attack on enemy trenches. The personal emblem of Major Francesco Baracca, the Prancing Horse, that was gifted by the mother of Francesco, Countess Paolina Biancoli to the former Enzo Ferrari, is now famous throughout the world as the coat of arms adopted by his F1 racing team of Maranello. What can I say, he looks like a tuff guy.

OK everyone now!
Lets ALL switch to Knights! It would take NO TIME AT ALL to reset the arena. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Think of all the benefits!
- You never have to check your six
- You would never need to alternate your chatting between channel 1 and channel 2
- You never worry about someone stealing your kill

Gatt, I just realized Knights was the first home of 4^Stormo, so welcome back home!
