Everyone, I will be opening registration for Battle of Britain 2008 on Thursday night (Sept. 25th).
We will probably not be increasing registration once registration is full. However, after registration is full, anyone wishing to play can show up as a walkon -- there are usually spots available for walkons.

It is July, 1940, and the fate of a nation is about to be decided.
Hitler has just given the order to begin preparation for Operation Sealion -- the invasion of Britain. France has fallen, the United States has not yet joined the war, and the Soviet Union is still Germany's ally. Britain stands alone.
The first order of battle is for the Luftwaffe to pave the way by destroying the Royal Air Force and pounding British infrastructure and cities. The Luftwaffe is mighty and skilled. The RAF is outnumbered, but it has the world's most advanced radar system -- and something just as important: an indestructible will to repel the Luftwaffe, no matter what the personal cost.
The Battle of Britain scenario will pit the RAF in its Hurricane Mk I's and Spitfire Mk I's against the Luftwaffe in its Bf 109E's, Bf 110C's, Ju 87's, and Ju 88's. The Luftwaffe will work to destroy all airfields, ports, and ships in the southeast of Britain. The RAF will do whatever it can to stop them.
The fate of Britain hangs in the balance.
---------------------------------
This scenario starts November 1st, 2008.

Your enthusiasm is admirable, though your tactics shortsighted. You begin a battle that cannot be won against a foe that cannot be defeated. We shall fight you on the seas, and in the air. Should the darkest of days come where a jackbooted heel sets foot on our sovereign isle, we shall fight you on the shores, on our farmlands, in our cities. Our armies will take up the fight. Our citizens will take up the fight. We shall fight to the last breath and none shall back down, give in, or concede defeat.
I want you to know how prepared we are, but I assure you it will never come to that point. Our Spitfires and our Hurricanes shall sweep your men from the skies and leave them clear, open, and free of the evil you hurl at us.

Fellow Deutschen,
I have just received word that Britain has declined our peace offer once again. These same men were responsible for nearly 100,000 of our troops to be executed while being unarmed. They then continued to starve us of food, they robbed us of our resouces and billions of dollars. They have always sought to destroy the German people. Once again, after we advanced, they continue to spew their propaganda, stating we have no chance of success. They claim that we are the ones who are evil. They claim that we will die. The truth shall become known of their hypocracy and lies soon enough. It is now their turn to pay! The miracle we gave them as a gift, has been ignored. Their hate continues to pursue the complete destruction of Deutchland and they leave us no choice, but to destroy the Royal Air Farce, and make Britain, Kaput!

Quite right, my red tailed friend!
"The nazi propoganda machine is in full march, and cannot be trusted. Do not be fooled, nations of Europe! The flimsy facade used as basis to invade France and the lowlands does not even apply to Great Britain, and yet we hear the same story. The same excuses may restrain the hungry and starving German people from revolting, but the rest of the world will not be restrained! Revolt! We shall stop this power-mad nation from expanding at the cost of the rest of the world. Rise up and stand against this tyrannical nazi war machine!"

I need more Geschwaderkommodore, 109e, 110 or a JU88. Your choice. Or you can fly as a pilot in the Luftwaffe, the greatest airforce in the world. A chance to develop wingman tactics and also to provide great tactics and leadership to others will be with the Luftwaffe.
We are the good side and are not the evil british empire.
Help us, or die. It's your choice.
Fly with the Luftwaffe, as it is your destiny.

Keep in mind that Britain has Kate Beckinsale, Kate Winslet, Rachel Weisz, Kiera Knightley, and Catherine Zeta-Jones....

Lord Haw Haw: "This just in. All of Deutschland rejoice! Marlene is back!
Having heard of the cruel sufferings of the volk at the hands of the Allies propaganda machine, she has triumphantly returned to the Fatherland to bring hope and courage in our desparate struggle against the Evil Empire.
Follow her brave example and return to defend the homeland by dashing the Limeys a good one in the keister. Raise your Iron Mail as a good Teutonic knight and join our glorius Luftwaffe as they crush those dentally-challenged pudding-eaters under our hobnailed heels.
And on the home front, hold in your hearts and minds the vision of Marlene, leading the volksturm to victory, as a golden valkyrie rising over the ashes of London like a Phoenix of justice and vengence."

I'll log in and look around anyway ;)
Online name is Daimler.

Scenarios just about always need walkons -- please come join us for the fun.

I Was one of the walk ons, and thanks to Arabian Knights squad and AKauger for bringing me in your flight to saddle up for todays frame. Great fun and lots of action it was well worth it, so don't be shy guys and girls, but if your a walk on consider the tasks those responsible of organizing have and arrive early.
P.S. Thanks 1Drive for the pick man that channels was cold :O
-
PotsNpans, glad you made it in. I should have made an announcement on 200 and not just range vox while i was in the DA, maybe I could have gotten a few more walk ons to follow you. As it is, I was in a hurry and was just stopping in to check my settings. <S>
