When do you expect to set dates and open registration?
-
Once we get CO's lined up, we'll set a start date. We don't want to set the start date first, as sometimes, it takes a while to get CO's lined up.
The topic for people to volunteer to be a CO is here:

Some suggestions for being a CO or GL is available here:

Few questions me and my command team just went into 8 player and set the arena as it will be in the scenario with the fog you cant see the ground inless below 12k is it supposed to be like that? bombers will get murdered that low. And according to the settings darbar will be on? Is that true or false?

Don't know about the fog visibility question -- that's one for Newman to answer.
According to the settings in the writeup, radar and sector counters are off: "RadarMode[Bishops], Disable Friendly Counters and Disable Enemy Counters, No radar" and same for other countries.
-
My test on fog at 4 miles gave the Buffs a 20-21K alt before the bomb site got Foggy ;)
SALUTE!
Newman
-
hmm weired ill have to double check the arena settings thanks newman,
-
We didn't try with bombsights. We lifted goons in full updrafts and flew "level" until we couldn't see and more.

Just a question.. Why no Seafire units from the CVs?

Same Question he asked if you please.
Seems in these events just about every time the SEAFIRE is droped from the aircraft list in favor of the F4F-4/FM-2 for some reason. :rolleyes:
Historicly the Seafires were in operation at the time of HUSKY from Royal Navy carriers in Theater.
Inquireing minds would like to know.........
!
-
I just spent an hour scouring the net. Jeez, it's hard to find enough info on Formidable and Indomitable! Initially (from most references) it looked like the two carriers had mostly Martlets, but I kept digging and found that it seems like, during the Operation Husky timeframe, Formidable had mostly Martlets and Indomitable had mostly Seafires.
I'll ask Newman (the scenario designer for this one) if he wants to have the RN contingent split up into two forces.
-
Brooke is correct, and it's hard info to find!
The Martlet is being used because it's range with drops is superior to a Seafire.
If you want to fly a Spit, the Spit V is available for pilots.
SALUTE!
Newman
-
Newman we had a question when a object is destroyed lets say a fighter hanger will that fighter hanger stay down all frame or for the whole scenario?
-
2/3rds of the RN force (4 of 6 squads) had Seafires during Husky, with only 2 squads using Martlets:
http://www.fleetairarmarchive.net/Ships/Indomitable.html
http://www.fleetairarmarchive.net/Ships/FORMIDABLE.html
They have drop tanks, btw.
...the defalt Seafire skin in the game is an 885 Sqn a/c used during Husky.
I will leave it at that, not going to labor the point...but its not a big deal to have both I dont think, since the Spit V is already in the setup.
I can appreciate that some info is hard to find, its not an easy task.
Regards.
-
Originally, the Martlet was being used due to it's superior range. In my offline testing, the Seafire would likely not make it home in frame 1.
If the Allies are OK with that possibility, I'm OK with adding the Seafire to the CV main ride pool.
SALUTE!
Newman
-
Rules writeup is updated. The Indomitable now has Seafires. :aok
Newman is right, though -- Seafire pilots should defnitely think about ways to get range. The CV's start quite a ways out from Sicily.
Squire, cool! -- those are the same references I found in my poking around! Now I feel inept, though, as I have the feeling it didn't take you an hour to find them. :)
-
When will sides be assigned a CM? How long is registration? Do we get a list of objectives for each frame similar to FSO or just the overall objective stated in the Operation writeup?
Just a few questions I had.
Thanks,
Gaidin

Thanks.
Not so much flying the "Best" aircraft but when most squads get a chance to fly their Historical aircaft in a Historical setting like the scenarios they like to have that option. Mark it up to a matter of PRIDE.
Thanks again for adding the SEAFIRE to the carriers. :aok
!
-
Shifty and Jester I assume you will want to fly the seafire?:) Any chance one of you two might want GL or FL?
-
I'll do an FL if you need it. I can get a flight to follow me, but I don't have enough money to bribe a whole group.;)
-
Shifty any chance anyone from the 880th that is good with leading would be interested in a GL position for the indomitable CV?

Roscoroo is signed up for the allied side and ROC is signed up for the axis side, so it looks like you can consult with ROC. Also, the axis side has its share of very-experienced and talented non-CM scenario participants who have signed up, including the Finns. You will have plenty of good advice available.
Registration will run until both sides are full or until just a little before frame 1, whichever comes first.
The rules writeup is the only provided objective. It lists how victory conditions are judged, and you are free to operate anywhere inside the constraints given with the resources given to achieve glorious victory! :)

We're threatening victims, umm I mean interviewing applicants in 880 right now Husky. I'll see if we can have you a pigeon, err I mean a GL in the morning sir. :aok
Honestly I would volunteer, but I still have a couple of family issues that could hit me unexpectedly. We'll try and get a GL for the Indomitable squared away .

Exactly what does being the "GL" for HMS INDOMITABLE intale? PLEASE ADVISE. I don't have much time in the scenarios so I am kind-of blank on this subject.
! :aok
-
GL means Group Lead you would be in charge of the Indomitable pilots and your FL(Flight Lead). You would meet (on TS or In game) with the rest of the command staff to help plan/organize the attack on Sicily.
-
Can I get access to the Allied general and command forums, please? :D
-
I'm trying to figure out how to do that now:D For now any chance you can hop on Team Speak?
-
BK, select Scenario General, then on the upper right find Moderate forum. (Under "New Topic" button)
Click that, find your Allied Forum, then enter it, Add your players there. Use their Bulletin Board name, not Game Name.
-
Ok ill try it, what should I do if i dont know there BBS name?
-
First off, their names will be on the left hand side of the forum you are seeing.
Second, you will be getting regular rosters sent from the registration site, this will have your team specific players, ride requests, comments etc Including email addresses and bb names if they filled out the registration correctly.
So try it with someone you know will be in your team and Is active on these boards, then just grab their BB name.
Like you would use Husky01 just as it shows on the board.
-
i welped do the allied list for the forum it should be set for now ...
about the Regestrant list from ahevents one of us CM's can send that to you each day ... or when ever you request it .

Gaidin:
As it turns out, ROC will not be around for most of the scenario, so I have joined the axis side and am happy to help out wherever you desire. I will also be flying for your side. I've flown in 25 scenarios, including the last seven in Aces High, have been a CO six times, and a GL four times. I am happy to be a GL for you or to fly as a regular pilot in any capacity you choose. My e-mail address is brooke at electraforge.com.

GENTLEMEN
I am a new comer to the senario world, and as such am firmly lost.
I am however used to organized play, ie WARBIRDS S3.
I have signed up for OP HUSKY and have a couple of questions,
1) How do I get assigned to a squad etc.
2) How is notification to members handled. BB only?

1) How do I get assigned to a squad etc.
decide which country Allied or Axis .
You can request players or squad members that you would like to fly with ,or request a plane type ....
2) How is notification to members handled. BB only?
After you sign up thru AHevents.org and register for the scenario and country we get you axcess to the forums and pass your email on to the CO/XO and then they assign you to a GL (squadron) they try to go with your wishes ... but as it fills up the spots get limited . We do go over with registered slots when bolth country's reach the goal and or add additional squadrons to the roster.
If you have any problems you can PM either Newman, Brooke or myself thru this forum and we'll help ya get it working.

Thank you ROSCOROO
I have registered allied a few weeks ago, and have been monitoring the forum. I thought it was time to get aboard.
I would like to fly heavy bombers -- or multi eng bombers. I would like to get picked up by a CO that is in command of those type of aircraft for the senarios.
Again Thank you

I was pretty sure there were no "broads" involved.
Just as well, anyway.
My wife is kinda funny about me looking at strange women, even if they are Allied. :rofl

RGR THAT HB555
MINE TOO :rofl
But I think I missed something, when I checked the forum I didnt see the AC I would be flying, or with what group. I am completely open to both a bomb group and AC.
