Wow!
Filling up fast.
There is a rumor floating around:
"The allies better watch out, cause they gonna be owned by the jerrys!"
Axis rulez!
Just a rumor, mind you.

I do not want to grab a spot and be a no show as I cannto commit to Sunday afternoons (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
But, how will walkons be handled? Just in case I can make a frame I'd like to show up and report to the right place and person if at all possible.

Aye, my dear squadmates were kind enough to join III/JG 77. Flying G2's, and it's not a bad plane at all. Wonder why I haven't discovered this before.

This is the official Scenario Corps event.

Westy I can't speak for Vermillion but I have a feeling walkons will be welcome. Just be advised you might end up in a tank or a C-47. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
If you want a sexy assignment, register and clear out your Sundays!!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Tank or C47 is fine with me. I'm a scenario slut. Give me a ride, I'll do my utter best (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Still. Could someone tel me how walk ons will be handled? Do walkons show up in the special events arena and just blurt out on the common channel, "I'm a walk-on, who needs me?" I kind of hope not. It adds to the overall confusion imo. Maybe one of the unused arenas could be temporarily labelled "Afrika '43 Walk-ons sign in HERE" and a walk-on manager/herder could be in touch with the CM's via RW and send folks over as needed or required.
-Westy

Westy, the exact procedure is still being worked on. We have about 4 weeks to get things lined out (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
I can assure you that it will be more advanced than stumbling in and announcing "Anyone need me!!?" (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
We will have something up to inform people of what we need to do before then.

Any chance this thing might be seen on Saturdays instead of Sundays? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Ice
-
Not this time around Ice, sorry.
I'm not sure what the solution is, because Saturdays are not a good day to hold scenarios. People just don't show up, especially in the "outdoor" seasons.
Just for an example, our Saturday events draw about 1/3 the numbers that our Sunday events draw.

Now i begin too understand i'm too late.
All allied filled .
luckily they where not p38 squads. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
next time better
-
Dang, looks like Allied is full! except the tankers, hmmmm...
Looks like ill be a grunt, or can we still apply to the fighter squads as backup?
Camel
-
Camel, if you don't signup for a selected position, you will be sent to the "walkon pool" where you will be sent to whichever side needs players that night.
There are still many Axis fighter or bomber positions open, or Allied Tanker positions.
Walkons are always welcome, but realize that you take your chances (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Its a tossup when you do that.

Rgr Verm, Thanks!!!
Looks like ill be reporting to Ripsnort! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
When is the scenario after this so i can sign up for that one.
But i'm afraid i will miss that one too
anyway i'm not gonna tank or play axis.
Maybe make squad from 8 to 12 members an option?
-
Ehhm Bug, this scenario is more like a campaign, starting in about 2 weeks and lasting for 1½ months. Maybe someone completed a Eastern Europe/ Russian map by then so we could have a campaign going on there (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

It's interesting.... there's a whole ton of people I've never seen before listed, and people who I thought for sure would want a peice of this action are nowhere to be found.
Anyways - looks like a fantastic turnout! Roughly 160 people in the 1st couple days of sign-up. Congrats Verm!
....even IF I did have to go <cough> Axis to get an open slot.
Lookin' forward to this one.

I can't fly LW planes sorry they too diffie for me (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
i try too make any event but if u have too run for open slots when announced in the middle off the night u have too be lucky too get a place.

Ein?...
First :I dont see you in the OOB of III/JG77...maybe you forgot to press the "send" button (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) (hehehe)
And Second: three days ago the best and most beautiful fighter of that time (well not of that time, but it is in this scenario (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)) was the Fw190A8...a men's plane,in your own words.

Bug, the event and the date of signups were announced over two weeks ago. Pyro announced them in the NEWS section twice, it has been listed in the EVENTS section since then also, and I have been placing posts on this BBS about every day for the past week. Sorry you haven't noticed them (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
In the future you can see upcoming events listed at http://events.hitechcreations.com (http://events.hitechcreations.com)
I also can not extend the squadron sizes when I still have 59 open slots for the Scenario. If all those fill up, then I would consider it. But people signing up have slowed down to a trickle, so don't expect it.
I would suggest you signup for a Ju-88 slot, its not glamorous, but bombers can be really fun. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
RAM, the reason that StSanta is not listed on the form is that because he is a Flight Leader(FL) of III/JG77. FL's were preregistered, so they are not on that list. So for him (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
Actually RAM, I was suprised that you never responded when I made a call for Axis flight leaders about a week ago. Could have used you.

Nash - Great too see you flying for the real men's side for once! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Ram - I agree with Verm. It would have been great to have you CO a 190 squad. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) Well, there's always pnzr's available for you to "fly". (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
I'm sure we'll have a great time! I wish I could say the same for the allies. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Oh, thanks <Blushes> (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I thought in doing it, But I lack the experience in leading more than a schwarm in MA, let alone to do it in a well-organized scenario against good experienced and trained pilots (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif). So maybe next time, for now I'll fly and learn (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

Each squad can have 6 planes up in each frame. So its a schwarm with top cover. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
