This week there's been 5-50 people on when I've been there (18-05 here in Finland, which is 11am-11pm EST), and fun fights. More 1vs1's than I've seen in ages (almost "ever") in the MA.
So I've had fun this week, maybe you should try and get your squad to spend more time there (Blixen and Hoarach were there this week, had some good fights with them). :) fellas & everyone else whom I've fought with this week. :)
Karnak: We'll add the Mosquito to that list... Feb/Mar/Aprl/May 1943 - day 18 on the rear fields and Oct/Nov/Dec/Jan 1944 - Day 22 on all fields?
-
Great Idea. I'll try and hop in for a few fights :)

Ahem.
I've been reading a LOT of posts by a LOT of people for a very LONG while about how you'd like to have a rolling plane set.
Well. Here it is.
We're expecting a BIG turnout. Don't want to hear any whining anymore if there isn't one.

Thanks.

No Mossie? couldnt the mossie showup about spring 1943?
still setup looks good :aok

Don't worry, we won't forget her (Mossie) that is... :D

Haven't flown in weeks. Other than squad fun the game has become boring. I blame it on BGB.
This looks like it might be fun. Will probably give it a go.

Darn, didn't have time to fly it tonight (but WTG Sasmox + wife, they had another daughter today while we were out having beers :)).
