I think it will take longer than a week to open registration.  We first need to get CO's lined up, then once we have them, then we open registration.  So it will take a while yet.

I think Roo meant that we start recruiting CO's soon (although we are still working out some of the fundamental details of the rules, so it might take longer than before we start the strong push to getting CO's).

We will let everyone know all over the place (message board, in the main arenas) when registration is open.

This really is a good time for potential COs/XOs to step forward, while the rules and setup are still malleable. In ancient times, cough, the COs helped with the design and final rules, so it isn't too early for those interested in becoming involved.

I'm hoping lots of GV'ers will step forward for this one.  This is a scenario that will test if we have enough interest for significant GV presence in scenarios.

The last scenario to test that idea was Stalin's Fourth.  It had a large GV component, but as it ran in early 2006, I think it was before a large contingent of GV enthusiasts built up in AH.  So, a lot of the GV's then were driven by players who preferred aircraft.

More recently, we've seen growth in interest in tank battles, formation of Tank Club (which is still mysterious, because the first rule of Tank Club is that you don't talk about Tank Club), of Heavy Metal Sunday, and so on.

We would like at least 60 tankers -- more if possible --  so that we can have battles between two groups of at least about 30 tanks on a side.  The more we have, the grander it will be.

Fire and maneuver -- tank war in the desert!

I'm a bit suprised we dont have the Beaufighter at all. It was very active as both a night fighter and in coastal command for shipping attacks. I know they attacked Sardinia and Sicily from Malta and were also based out of Algeria. Not sure if they operated out of Tunisia proper or not.

All I can find is that 144 Squadron operated in the anti shipping role from 1/43 in north Africa, 227 from Malta and Egypt from 8/42, 252 from Egypt, Libya and Malta. 272 flew ground attack in Tunisia & Sicily from 11/42 to 9/43 but appears to be Malta based. 603 also flew anti shipping in the Med from 2/43. Given the importance of the supply component I think the Beaufighter played an important role in the events specific to the scenario....lobby lobby lobby :D :aok :rock :pray :salute

Concerning the Beau.  I've got some drawings of the Beau.  Skeleton, panels etc. I got them from the NASM.

Dan has done much of the work on the Beau.

Shortly I should be receiving more prints and a Pilots manual.

I will send them to Dan and he will forward to Pyro once they are reviewed by Dan (if he has time).

Dan started this conun...conandri....conundr.. .crap! I just tagged along.  :D

Actually the boston is subbing for it. I'll gladly fly the boston as an A20-A but its anti shipping capability is limited compared to the Beau (half the bomb load and .303's vs 20mm). Given the victory conditions and the fact that coastal command was primarily responsible for anti shipping in the Med I think the A-20G (as a sub for the Beau) makes a lot of sense historically. Maybe fly the G in the "shipping" sets and the boston in the other 2 (same pilot base) to reflect the different situations...

Most fun I can recall, I'd love a A-20A (boston slot) in this one, but after reading the write up I was surprised that the Beau/A-20G wasnt included simply because it was a primary ride for coastal command.
Title: Re: Approx Date?
Post by: Fencer51 on January 16, 2009, 11:22:36 AM
There were several reasons it was not included.

1.  There are oodles of other aircraft not included, Wellingtons, Blenheims, Swordfish, Albacores, Halifaxes, Walruses, and Sunderlands.  All contributed but are not necessary enough to the scenario to warrant a plane substitution. 
2.  It was hardly the primary ride of N.A . Coastal Air Force.  For example, in Oct 1942 there were two squadrons (46,89) plus a detachment assigned Malta in the Med.
3.  I hate plane substitutions in historical events.
4.  The number and type of ship targets are so restricted I did not see the need to have a dedicated ship strike aircraft.
5.  The majority of the Beaufighters were based on Malta that contributed to the battle at this phase.  This map does not have Malta.
6.  I hate plane substitutions in historical events.
7.  This is not the sea battle of the Med, but a land battle for Tunisia with some resupply elements thrown in.  We have enough aircraft and units to handle that without delving into plane substitutions. (See 3 and 6).

Cheers

Title: Re: Approx Date?
Post by: Brooke on January 16, 2009, 10:14:55 PM
Hmm.  That seems a harsh response for a question that doesn't seem unreasonable.

I think plane substitution is fine.  We do it in scenarios whenever the actual plane isn't available.  For example, in Battle of Britain, we've used Ju 88's, as there are no He 111's available.  In Japanese scenarios, we've used the Ju 88 instead of the Betty, as it's not available.  We've used the F4F for the Brewster, and so on.

Given that the substitute might be better or worse than the real plane (usually better), we keep that in mind in designing the rules, the side balance, and the victory conditions.

Just a really quick question:

In the rules writeup it says no 2x1000lb on the P-38s, then lower on it says max 2x500lbs, but what about the option to carry 1x1000lb? Is that allowed or not?

Not a vital question, just a curiosity.
Title: Re: Approx Date?

I dont think 1000 lb bombs were available thats why they are left out . also the stuka cant carry the monster bomb either.

A P-38 expert confirmed that the P-38s in Africa rarely carried bombs, and then only 500lb bombs on those few occasions late in the campaign.

Might want to fix the rules then, as it states the max load for the Ju87 is just under 4000lbs (meaning that's the cookie).

Also might want to say "no 1000lb bombs" instead of "no 2x1000lb bombs" on the P-38G, because you can take 1 bomb and a DT (and maybe 1 1k bomb by itself, can't recall if there's an option without the DT).

Too many scenarios I get stuck carrying ord and I'd like to avoid that. Reminds me of Stalin's Forth scenario, we were supposed to be in Yak 9Ts and A20s (I was told less than 20% of the time would be A20s), we never got out of the A20s all scenario.

It's still early.  The rules aren't finalized, and we don't have CO's yet.  Once we have CO's, we'll open registration, and at that point, people can volunteer for Group Leader positions, etc.

My guess is that it will take a few weeks until we have CO's finalized.

Reading the changelog on the rules, it gives some Ju88s Stukas in case they want to dive bomb. This is said to be a balance to the allies using A-20s as attackers instead of formations.

Well, why not just allow the Ju88s to fly without formations as dive bombers? They have dive brakes already. Why drop them back to stukas?


(again, just curious)
Title: Re: Approx Date?
Post by: Brooke on January 23, 2009, 06:39:04 PM
I thought about it.  But, as far as I was able to tell, Ju 88's weren't used much at all for dive bombers (even though that ability was in the original design spec).  Also, with a full bomb load, it would be unbalancing, I think.

I was really interested in getting a 109F spot, but under the circumstances (and the amount of work you put in for the BoB) I am willing to fly a P38G for this scenario.   :salute

edit: as much as I have enjoyed flying the 109K recently, I think I better get used to the G in the MA. If Dan saw me in the G, he would laugh. :D

Are we close to setting dates yet? Had a blast last time but need better 411 on dates (possible move to TX) so logistics are potential issue...

Yep, very close.

I'm just seeing if we can get some new features into the registration system before we open it up.  I'm hoping for opening registration sometime over the next 7 days.  I will announce in various places before registration is opened.

Good to see many people want to fly on the Allied side against superior aircraft.  Much is expected of us to fulfill our destiny in Operation Torch.

We shall perform the greatest upset, by defeating the German Commanders Dantoo and Bearkats.

You two German commanders have got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punks?

I think it's great that you Germans are willing to give your life for your country.  Der Fuhrer will expect you to fight hard in Africa, and I'm sure he will never ever abandon you.  Besides, I hear Rommel will be healthy enough to lead you and your superior aircraft.  We Allies, despite getting slower and older aircraft due to our priority in the War, will be happy to use our planes, to push you out of Africa for good, fulfilling our destiny.

Fellow Scenario Pilots, you must ask yourselves this question.
Do you wish to fight for the conquest of oil or for the pursuit of freedom!

IN OTHER NEWS:
Sloehand has been promoted to General.

Just a note to all keep in mind what you register for is not necessarily what you will get. All it does is the give the CO and idea what some players want. So just because the plane you want is full doesn't mean you should not register as there is a chance that you may or may not be moved into that squad. Also please use the comment box! I for one look very closely at what people say using that tool and do my best to accommodate everyone to the best of my ability. Finally if you are moved from what you originally signed up for please understand that we as COs can not give everyone exactly what they want but we do our best, its just not possible for everyone to get what they want.

After finally fixing my AH-crashing issue (I hope), I've signed up late but many rides are full. Oh well, couldn't be helped.
