Title: Your last chace for glorious battle in the Philippines - please join us
Post by: Brooke on August 25, 2010, 08:01:41 PM
1944 in the Philippines.  MacArthur's boys got their foothold, and the Japanese are fighting back hard.

Saturday (August 28) is the last frame of the Philippine Phandango scenario, which is a late-war battle around the Leyte Gulf area between the US and Japan.

Please join us -- all are welcome to play.  Show-Up Time is 3 pm Eastern in Special Events II arena.

Lightnings, Ki-84's, Corsairs, N1K2's, Thunderbolts, Ki-61's, Wildcats, Zeros, Mitchells, Ki-67's, Liberators.  Fighting in the skies and on the sea.

Come get some!

Remember what Patton said:  "Thirty years from now, when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee and he asks you, 'What did you do in the great Philippine scenario,' you won't have to say, 'Well... I was practicing belching the alphabet.'"

Definitely a fun trip. I only got one flight in 2 frames ago (kids pulled me off after that one, so I've avoided coming back to prevent a repeat), but was a great flight/fight for that one ride.
