Title: Battle of Britain 2008 needs an allied CO
Post by: Brooke on August 29, 2008, 07:57:45 PM
Hello, all.

Kermit has volunteered for and been accepted as LW CO for the upcoming Battle of Britain 2008 scenario.  Congratulations, Kermit!

We still need an RAF CO.

Interested pilots, please post here or send a PM to me.  Please list the scenarios you've played in and your roles in each.

Generally, to be a CO, the applicant needs to have flown in several scenarios and have been at least a GL on several occasions.  Preferably, the applicant also has experience at least once as an XO, bomber-group leader, or leader of several fighter squadrons.  We also like to pick CO's who we think will be easy to work with, able to recruit more players, responsive to communication from his team, and devoted enough to get his side organized and to get out well-thought-out mission orders for each frame.

For those interested in the duties and qualifications of a CO in more detail, please see this document:

Thanks, all.

Battle of Britain 2008 is on its way!

Well done, BearKats.  Now you can relax and fly as a regular pilot for once . . . until you are refreshed and ready to be CO again. :)

No volunteers yet for allied CO, but it is still very early.  There are probably a lot of people who don't know that we're at that stage yet.  In another week, I'll start sending invitations to volunteer to various past CO's as well.  BearKats and LeitWolf would be included in that except that they just finished up and so deserve a respite.

 :salute Recht schönen Dank Leitwolf, You made a great Emperor in Rangoon!

Herr kermit...I like the sound of that.

Leitwolf, You can be of GREAT use for this scenario.  I'll pm you more info this week.

I am hoping someone steps up to be Allied CO soon.  Then the planning will begin for Operation Sealion.  I will need many Group Leaders for this Scenario.

It will be Germany's Finest Hour.

muahaha...

BK, I have been asking people in the MA about wanting to be the CO for the Allied.
I hope you can help find a CO as well.  I'm sure you know a few people that could.

Jordi has volunteered to head up the radar command for the allies, should such be desired by whoever becomes allied CO.

Post by: Husky01 on September 03, 2008, 09:04:14 PM
Hmmm, Jordi and the other guy I am thinking of both working together in the radar command would be down right deadly.  :)

I tell ya, I would LOVE to be a CO for one of these, (Ive been a CO for snapshots and love it), but I doubt I will ever volunteer in the near future, simply because I don't think I have either the skill or respect to fill the role, and I think that may be the issue with a lot of folks.
Title: Re: Battle of Britain 2008 needs an allied CO
Post by: Krusty on September 04, 2008, 03:31:33 PM
I wouldn't mind stepping up and helping out as a radar operator. If those spots are filled I'll also pick either side.

I don't have an overly reliable track record with being a CO of an event, and I've already shared some thoughts with the enemy

 :noid

So I'm hesitant to offer my services as Allied CO.

I know what you mean Serenity. It would be great to CO a scenario.
Unfortunately for me, I don't have the experience yet nor the presence in
the game to hold that type of position. I would like to volunteer for a GL
spot to get some of the much needed experience or even the XO position if
the CO doesn't mind showing me the ropes. I'm dedicated and willing to jump
through some hopes if needed.

I prefer to stay away from scenarios during the school year to focus on my grades. Besides, Ive(We the team) have done the last 3: Operation Husky - Allies, DGS - Axis, and then Rangoon Allies. I think the only way you would see me in this one was if after a month + of looking for a CO Brooke and company couldn't find anyone and I mean anyone willing to step up.

Theyre better off doing that then letting me be C.O. I would find a way to surrender America to the Krauts as well... C'mon, someone else step up to the podium! Take command!
