We are pleased to annouce the first Scenario of 2011.
Before we go into all the details we would like to bring to your attention a few things which are different about this event than previous scenarios.
1. This scenario will be ran on Saturday Evenings, US Time. Arena closes at 9:30pm Eastern for final briefing. Launch will be at 10:00pm Eastern. The scenario will be 3 hours long and have a 30 minute disengagement phase like normal.
2. This scenario will be 7 total frames. We will have a coordination frame using the "Frame 2" settings for each side to iron out any problems in their command/control and communication. We will then take a week break for final planning and then run the next 6 frames back to back.
3. This scenario is written around the ability for the player to immerse themselves in history. As such alot of extras are being provided with more to follow as we proceed. Also some requirements have been added to aid in that.
4. The Battle Over Germany General Forum which both sides have access too will be a public forum again. All participants, whether registered or not, in that forum are still required to follow forum rules.
5. There will be no rule changes. We are human, so there might be some typos and an error we have missed, but the rules you see are final baring any such being found.
We hope you enjoy this scenario.
(http://www.ahevents.org/images/stories/scenarios_images/201101_BOG/rules_files/banner.png)
This is the classic fight of the 8th Air Force versus the Luftwaffe. Experience the air war over Germany in six historical missions ranging from February 1944 to April 1945. Be a member of the unit of your choice.
Use the planes they did for each mission and see how the battle over Germany evolved. Fight the dynmaic fight against the opposition as both you and they evolve in strategy and equipment.
Experience the most indepth and historical scenario to date. Fly over a beautiful recreation of the actual terrain with cities, airbases and targets researched and accurately located.
Refer to recon photos of the targets and bomb the actual targets which were attacked 70+ years ago. File after action reports like the pilots at the time did using historically correct forms.
Research into the dozens of historical links provided and learn about the people who flew the planes and those on the ground on both sides. Pick your unit and your plane with 1796 different
aircraft identification tags to choose from. Find and name your B-17 or B-24 after an historical plane and learn about the men who flew her. Choose which Staffel you want to be a member of in your Gruppen.

Join up and fight the last 14 months of the war in the skies over Germany.
Aircraft in this scenario include for the Axis the Bf-109G2, Bf-109G6, Bf-109G14, Bf-109K4, Me-262, Me-163, Me-110G, Fw-190A8, Fw-190D9, Ta-152H. For the Allies the P-47D11, P-47D25, P-47M, P-38J, P-51B, P-51D, B-17G, B-24J. Rather than fly a single plane type in this event, you will join a historical unit and fly the planes they did for each day. See the Order of Battle in the writeup for a clear picture of who has what aircraft.
This scenario will be 7 total frames and for the first time will be ran during the evening on Saturday (US Time) rather than in the afternoon.
Please join us for the Battle Over Germany!
ROC is Lead CM for this event.
Show-Up Time is 9:30 pm Eastern Time on Saturday Evening US TIME in the Special Events II Arena. The arena will be closed to admittance after that time.
The frames will run on the following dates.
January 29, 2011: Coordination Frame "Target Berlin!"
Week off for Final Coordination
February 12, 2011: Frame 1
February 19, 2011: Frame 2
February 26, 2011: Frame 3
March 5, 2011: Frame 4
March 12, 2011: Frame 5
March 19, 2011: Frame 6
Registration will open soon. Watch this space and the forums for the announcement. We will be registering people by type. Allied Fighter Pilots, Allied Bomber Pilots and Axis Fighter Pilots. Please use the comment section
of the registration to indicate what unit you want to fly in and who you want to fly with. Every effort will be made to honor this request, but there are no guarrantees. The earlier you register the better.

412th is In!
-
you guys really outdid yourselves, nice work. i just saw my squad in the listings, so hopefully i can get them all to sign up.
a big :salute to the entire CM staff for your outstanding work.
my 38 for the first 5 frames (now that i know the 20th is involved :D): "Brooklyn's Buster"
ok ok not the most creative name but it'll do :aok
-
Sweet. HAven't read the whole writeup yet, but why are 163s only in Fr 5?
-
EDITED: I did my time zone math wrong, started to panic! My bad!
-
Krusty, you really need to learn how to read a clock.
Thats 7:30pm MOUNTAIN TIME close the door and 8:00pm MOUNTAIN TIME takeoff. I assume you are still in the Colorado area. Yah see the sun goes from EAST to WEST... yeah..
Now read it, find something else to complain about and RELAX.. you can still fly and enjoy it. I hope you do, really.
-
Awsome....
Noticed that the 91st Bomb Group mission report link goes 404.

Oh thank the Force!
You're right, I screwed up on my time shift. I'm so used to doing it the other way (thinking "what time is in EST") at my work I fell into that.
Panic attack withdrawn!! :)
-
Sweet. HAven't read the whole writeup yet, but why are 163s only in Fr 5?
I wish I had my discussion about this from 2007 still... The November 2nd mission was one were the 163s were "heavily" (thats a relative term) in action.
-
awesome, i havn't decided between the 352nd FG or the 91st BG i love bombing but it gets long... on the other hand i suck at fighters, but love the Pony and just being along as an escort.... but this scenario looks awesome... Nice work guys!

Rog, ty. Looks great, torn on what side to fly on. I want to go allied and fly 38s but then I have to fly those dweeby pieces of metal that are called P51s :(
-
torn on what side to fly on
Now that's what I like to see. Enough good reasons to pick either side, and make it a hard choice :)
-
I think when i register i will fly under the 352nd as
Maj. George E "Ratsy" Preddy Jr.
487th FS/352nd FG
P-51D 44-13321 HO-P
"Cripes A' Mighty 3rd"
(http://www.51hangar.net/TAGS/USAAF/352FG/352FGL-P.png)
you can find an image of his plane here: http://www.littlefriends.co.uk/gallery/352g/ho-ppro.jpg & Actual Plane from WW2 here: http://www.littlefriends.co.uk/gallery/352g/ho-p1.jpg
haha found the 487th FS Emblem, along with information on the 352nd: (http://www.352ndfightergroup.com/shared_art/352_487.gif)

I am looking to lead JG-301 1 gruppe, dibbs please :D :salute
-
I think this is going to be the most fun I've had in this game. It looks like a lot of work has gone into this and I sure appreciate it.
-
IN as a P-47 pilot with the 56th FG :aok

I am looking to lead JG-301 1 gruppe, dibbs please :D :salute
I'm leaning that way as well. Quite a wide selection to choose from!
-
well, i downloaded the 352ND AAR and modified it for my needs kept it authentic.
my version is here: Word 2007: http://raptors-projects.co.cc/downloads/352FGAAR_raptor03.docx
Word 93-2003: http://raptors-projects.co.cc/downloads/352FGAAR_raptor03.doc
if you want to take a look at the format as compared to this: http://www.spitfireperformance.com/mustang/combat-reports/352-preddy-6aug44.jpg
All i did is make it easier for me to note what "Ammo" was expended, and added the historical mark-up of my pilots plane. Funny thing is the 352nd/487th Skin in-game is the exact one that i happend to pick... i picked him before i looked at the in-game skin lol...
Some people may not have the font for the Name @ the bottom of my page, the font is: Brush Script MT
but yea.. if people want i can make mark-ups for their pilot i am very talented at find accurate historical info on the Pilots of WW2...
(And yea i know registration isnt open yet, but when its open i will definitely be registering as allied under the pony and requesting the 352nd :) :salute )
-
Why so late? Well thanks for excluding me from what sounds like a great scenario! :(.
Scenarios are my main reason for still playing AH but if this is how it is going to be in future I might as well leave altogether. This has come as a total shock and to say I am disappointed would be an understatement. Not only are you excluding me but also other European players. Hope you all have fun. Bye.
-
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :banana: :aok
-
whoops, thought you could name the plane after your preferences :lol
my new 38:
Capt. Ernest C. "Red" Fickelborn
77th FS/20th FG
a/c serial #42-68068
"June Nite" (note he named his 51 the same thing)
:salute

I'm sorry to hear that Flossy, I know how much you enjoy flying in these things, I asked in the other thread and it was brought up that this time was an 'experiment' of sorts, at least that's what I got from it.
-
whoops, thought you could name the plane after your preferences :lol
Call it whatever you want.. the whole point is to get people into the part.

9:30 pm Eastern Time on Saturday Evening US TIME :mad:
Well that SUCKS I guess this is a US only then....

i agree, the times should be the original times so everyone can be a part.

Well im bias and will not be able to fly this one due to time changes. But im guessing the guys in Australia and New Zealand will be happy.

Klingan, I know you fly in alot of these events. The normal schedule is perfect for the Europeans as it puts the event at the same time this one will for the North Americans.
But I am curious, but what do you have going on such that you cannot goto bed early, and get up for the event? Its a Sunday morning, do you have work on Sundays?
The perception here seems to be that the time change has effectively banned people from playing. The Australians and other pacific participants have been adjusting to an odd time for years. Saturday afternoons is also very inconvient for alot of people in North America.
I hope you and other Europeans decide to participate, I understand it will require adjustments to your schedule, I hope you decide its worth it.

This is all true. And kudos to those in Australia and so on that have been playing even when it meant going up in the middle of the night.
But 4am is 4 am. And IF i would show up at any frame it will be as a walkon.
-
Well I :salute any one that can get up at 3am & fly the event im sure there will be a few.
But if I were to start up the old computer & get shouting over vox like I normally do at 3am the rest of the family would have a fit, even if it was Sunday morning.
To old as well need my sleep to much :old:
Have fun every one that takes part. :airplane:
-
I know the time change is rough, but as said in other threads, this is a one time modification to the time. It's a round world, and there has been for the past 15 or so years worth of events a time slot that put someone up at 3am flying an event. One time, just One Time, we are giving that section of the globe a break, taking the mid afternoon out of the pacific, taking the evening out of the US East coast. This is not a world changing event, it is a one time relief for people who have taken the brunt of the time selection for an overwhelming part of scenario participation.
Still hope to see as many of the European friends as possible, but trust me, we do understand the lateness of the hour.
-
When I worked nights, I did a 12 hour shift and came home for 3-4 hours sleep prior to the frame. I made a ritual of it; black coffee, quick plate of eggs with toast and my pre-flight meal was ready while I sat waiting in the tower for 30 minutes for everyone to show.
I have a question, what happens to the pilots of ZG-76 after frame 2? I'm weighing the options and may take a Luftwaffe ride.
-
del i believe they are transfered into the other Gruppen, im not sure which ones tho.
we'd love to have the 80th in 38s again!
-
ZG-76, JV44 and JG400 are all units which are available for the Axis CO to use on those frames only. The players crewing those units will come from the other normal units. We are not registering for those units in particular since those particular planes/units were not active over the who length of the event.
-
we'd love to have the 80th in 38s again!
So would I, I don't want to fly P51s tho.
-
why does everyone have a grudge against my pony :( the mustang is an awesome plane...
i wonder if the Allied CO will integrate actual callsigns used for the 352nd... :)
-
So would I, I don't want to fly P51s tho.
agreed.
yet in my case, i have 5 glorious frames in the juliet until i have to transfer into ponies. worth it, IMO :aok
-
This looks great and should be alot of fun. Nice work :salute :salute
-
my plans for this event are devious :devil
-
So would I, I don't want to fly P51s tho.
This is why I am not flying Allied.
-
aww come'on why u hate on the pony it was loved by the ground forces in WW2 come'on dont be hating :P
plus they have good performance at Alt. and they were the only plane that could escort B-17s to Berlin & Back.
-
This is why I am not flying Allied.
while i utterly despise flying the 51, its not going to deter me from flying 38s. i love the 38, and i love the escort runs, so i say its worth it
-
I for one will NOT be staying up until 3am to start a scenario! I say staying up because I normally stay up until about 1:30 ish on a Saturday night anyway and there is no point going to bed first. Going early is not an option as I would not be able to sleep. No I am going to have to give this one a miss, unfortunately, but I do hope this not a permanent switch or there will be no point in continuing to play.... I only play in the scenarios now. I'm very disappointed to miss what sounds like will be a great scenario. :(

roc has said multiple times this is a ONE time deal, to give a break to those who have had to stay up to play @ 3 am... sorry you can't make it.
-
So would I, I don't want to fly P51s tho.
Happy Jack's Go Buggy all the way for me! :aok P38s or P51s. Both my favorite planes actually since redtail got me hooked on the 38. <S>
You'll be seeing the 20th FG in the listings as a majority of the 20th FG in the MAs. We've already talked it over and 8-10 squaddies including me already are waiting to register in the Loco Busters slot for the scenario! <S> all cant wait for this one...
-
What's even better... the 20th FG was made for escort primary and ground attack as secondary on the RTB. :D
Maybe the LOCO busters will be blowing up LOCOs for once in this game? :aok :D
-
Gonna be there, but I don't know if I am to be one of ROC's dedicated PITA's.
MMMMMMMM bombers and lots of em, so if my usefulness isn't needed there, I am sure there is a B24 with my name scribbled on it. :D
-
Sign up 4440, I'll use you at the door helping wrangle walkons and help get peeps into squads, then release you to the hounds :) I'll be the only one sitting out and manning the event.
-
FL under 4440's Gl command....
"Honey, ROC want to know if I can play in a scenario...."
Will advise reaction and availability, if I am able.
-
Awesome write up...
More awesome is that show up time is the exact day and time of the 91'st Bomb Group's normal squad night meeting...
This will virtually assure that the 91'st Bomb Group will show up in force for this...
Absolutely perfect.
Depending on the word from Thndregg...I think the 91'st will have its eyes on the entire 1'st Bombardment Division (91'st and 303'rd).
Now I just need to talk him into promoting himself from 91 GL, to 1'st Bombardment Division Commanding Officer :rofl :rofl :rofl
We have well over 20 plus active pilots in the 91...and I will be lobbying everyone of them...
Their is no virtual 303'rd BG in AH...
Salute
Out

Now I just need to talk him into promoting himself from 91 GL, to 1'st Bombardment Division Commanding Officer :rofl :rofl :rofl
I'm not going quiiiiite that far.. :D, but I put the word out on our bomb group's forum. Awaiting responses.

I didn't see it listed in the squads listing here...

No worries bro. He started the squad and then got hit with tons of work and school, so its just him I believe. He is wanting to get back into the flow though, so I sent him a text to get him on the ball.

This scenario looks like something I could get into.
Five frames shorter than the former Air Warrior events but still "worthy". :)
I'm hoping my R.L schedule will allow me to sign on for one of the B-17 rides.

As per the rules boss its only 18 planes:
1st Bombardment Division
91st Bomb Group qty 9 B-17G
303rd Bomb Group qty 9 B-17G
Its only 18 guys...the 91'st could easily register that many...AND per the rules:
Bomb Divisions (or Groups of 18 or less bombers) must maintain a minimum of 1 keypad (1/3 sector) separation from adjacent formations of the same or smaller size. A maximum of 18 piloted bomber formations may be grouped in one formation of bombers.
Same as it ever was Boss...when the 91'st turns out on a strong night...

We are letting people have a chance to talk to their friends, and giving everyone a chance to see the writeup. We will give you a few days warning on registration.
Note that while we don't suggest you wait a month, there will not be the "first come first served" aspect of the last scenario. You will signup for the position, and requst your unit and who you want to fly with.
You can look at the registration page now to see what the setup is.

:( The 20th FG was hoping to register for the 20th slot and fly together. we have no problem with walkons or other flyers but we'd love to fly as the 20th FG in the scenario. are you saying we will not be able to do this?
-
3rd Bomb Division looks appetizing for the taking :t, maybe even the XO spot :uhoh

No not at all. But there is no guarrantee of anyone getting any unit. OBVIOUSLY the COs will be VERY encouraged to put people who fly "historical" units into those same units in the scenario. But if there are 24 people, all friends, who all want to fly as the 357th FG, well there are only 16 slots.

Actually, on second thought.. Division Command might be fine. I will not go any further than that simply because I do not trust my Qwest DSL service.

Yep. I was kind of curious as to why everyone was using those nifty avatars and proclaiming there rides already.
well my avatar is made for the 20th and im the CO of the 20th FG "Loco Busters" in the MAs. If i cant fly the 20th in the scenario ill be devastated though :cry

Yep. Completely agree. I would like to represent my bomb group as well.

Guys, there should be no reason that squadrons in the game cannot fly their own units. There are plenty of other units in this event for people who don't have a "historical" squadron name to choose from.
When I did DGS I was able to get about 99% of the people into the units they wanted and to fly with those they wanted too.

mine was more along the line of a joke but i understand the confusion with the way i worded it. <S> but thanks for the support fencer <S>

Sign up 4440, I'll use you at the door helping wrangle walkons and help get peeps into squads, then release you to the hounds :) I'll be the only one sitting out and manning the event.
Guess I am B24 bound then.

Is anyone going after JG 3?
I'm going to try and take that but I don't want to run into the same problem we had last registration where 3 GL's signed up for 1 squad.
Please PM me if you are after JG 3 and maybe we can figure out something.

Who's heading the jets? :uhoh
Does JG11 or 301 have an open TA-152/190D slot? :D Don't make me beg.
-
Registraion will open at Noon Eastern Time on Sunday December 12, 2010.
Remember this is not a first come first serve registration like last time. Someone will sort through the registrants and assign them.
So, be CLEAR on who you want to fly with be it a whole squadron or just a wingman buddy.
Then be clear on what unit you want to fly for. Have a second choice on that as well.
You people requesting GROUP LEADER positions and coordinating others to fly with you, please make sure you at least have that second unit picked just in case.
-
Have the commanders for each side been announced yet? Have the COs for each fighter/bomber group been announced yet?
Frankly put, that will probably decide where I want to go.
-

No, we are still gathering CO volunteers and the GLs will be assigned at the final choice of the COs and their staffs.

Looks like 301 is the only unit getting 152's, but that will be later in the scenario.

Just to let everyone know, I will be registering for GL position of the 352nd FG, The 412th hopes to have at least 5 or 6 pilots registering for the 352nd. Our second option will be the 357th.
Thank you, we are really looking forward to this! <S>
-
I might as well put it out there, im going to ask for a GL spot for the 55th, although there are proboly many more qualified than me. I had fun as a GL in PP and hope to get a spot again! :aok
-
as BAR is the CO of my MA squad, we have agreed that he will ask to be GL for the 20th, however i will also ask for access to the command forums and TS server, as the FL
is that ok with you, fencer?

I will put in for lead of 91st Bomb Group.

Now as to the TeamSpeak Server, I upped the size to 35 people.

Question on the Command of any side.
There is a great deal of talent that is here in the game. We do have a way of snagging some and making them CMs though lol. The problem comes up when highly talented people who would be good in the CO position are CMs.
Does anyone have an issue if a CM COs a side? There are several applicants that have come forward, some are CMs, and before the final decision is made and qualifications, scheduling abilities, and willingness to take on a project this size are considered, I need to clear out any and all objections to potential applicants.
-
I don't have an objection to that, personally.
-
Does anyone have an issue if a CM COs a side?
Not at all! I would rather have non-CMs, but considering how much work it is to CO an event, I would consider a CM taking part at this level should have nothing on his plate other than the scenario. No other duties or tasks, and I would also remove their privileges like the CM eye mode for the duration of the event. Yes, there was an event in the past where a CM used his eye to obtain bomb damage assessment. I understand the man was excited, but this would help prevent that from happening.

Agree, not a huge bother to me but if they do CO I think they should removed of their "CM" tittle during the event and blocked from the hidden forums. Once the event is over then they can get everything back :) Maybe idk just throwing out suggestion.
-
Frankly I don't think that's required. They helped design it and tweak it. They are helping run it. They are CMing the server. As long as they stay in mental character as the CO/XO of a team, I'd trust them not to go "cheating" if you will.
At the levels required for this upcoming 7-frame event, I'd think they were above that.
-
CM's don't automatically have access to the forums we set up for scenarios.
For example, even for scenario CM's who are participating on a side (such as in scenarios where I fly on axis side and Fencer flies on allied side), we set it up so that we don't have access to the other side's forums. Also, in past events where CM's were CO's (Have in Red Storm, 4440 in The Final Battle, for example), neither one had access to the other team's forums.
-
I don't have an objection to that, personally.
-
This looks great! I realize the times are difficult for some but for a guy who has not been able to fly in the past 2 or 3 Scenerios due to work schedule, I am excited that I will be able to participate in this one.
My memory fails me, how long ago was the last BOG in AirWarrior? I seem to remember GB, Fencer, Brooke, and a few others that are on this BB flying that one. This brings me back to those days long ago when we all had 4 digit numbers. I was 5826 and flew with JG54 back then. Necromancer, Greycap, Buzzard, Gator, Submission, Bubba, Phantom, etc. What a bunch of great people.
Another fantastic job by the CM team whose dedication and talent has kept me as a subscriber to this game long after the MA has lost its hold on me. I hope HTC realizes how much you guys mean to this game.
Salute guys, way to keep doing what your doing, I appreciate it.
I will be there!

No. No issue there.

Yep, we were in that one. There were a couple of Battle of Germany scenarios in AW, one in January, 1994 and one in July, 1995. There was also Target Germany in June, 1998 and the enormous 18-frame Longbow in March, 1999.

Five frames shorter than the former Air Warrior events but still "worthy". :)

I will do one better than that Gypsy.
You decide to fly, we will let you lead a bomber squadron one frame.

Question.
Is there going to be any sort of altitude cap? Or is it going to be the same unhistoric altitudes that we've come to expect with FSO?
If its going to take place at historic altitudes then Im interested. If its going to be done like FSO. then Im not
No offense. But it seems to me that if we are going to have historic recreations of actual events. Then they should also be conducted at their historic mission altitudes.
which were typically closer to 22K then the often used 30+ K in events
The lack of an altitude cap is the single greatest flaw in many of the historic events. FSO in particular.

Bombers are restricted to flying between 15,000 feet and 23,000
Fighters are restricted to fly below 34,000 feet. Anybody flying above 34,000 feet will show on dot dar, and the wrath of ROC will be put upon them. DO NOT EXCEED 34,000 feet.

I have to say, with the alt restrictions the Luftwaffe actually has a good chance in this scenario.
I can imagine nothing worse than being in a 190A8 and having to pursue heavy bombers which are only moving slightly slower than you are. In fact, having the alt restriction made me want to fly Luftwaffe initially and part of me still does, looking at the vastly one sided sign up.

Brooke,
As a home building contractor, I remodeled the home of James and Frances Finnegan about 10 years ago.
He preferred simply being called 'Finnegan' at the time, and cringed if you said 'Mr'...or started or concluded a sentence with 'Sir.
He had many paintings and photographs in his home of the Thunderbolt.
An amazing man to be sure.
Oneway
--- snip ---
Sixty-three years ago today, James Finnegan, a young Army fighter pilot flying his P-47 over Nazi-occupied Europe, found himself in one of the most storied dogfights of World War II, and at the end of it, he downed the top enemy ace, Gen. Adolf Galland.
Years later, the two adversaries became friends, visiting each other in California and Germany, where they swapped war stories, re-fought old battles and talked about their families.
Mr. Finnegan, 85, died Tuesday at a retirement home in Marin County, where he was well known in law enforcement circles as an investigator, first with the old Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. (later Pacific Bell), next with the Marin County district attorney's office and, finally, as a private detective.

Brooke,
As a home building contractor, I remodeled the home of James and Frances Finnegan about 10 years ago.
Cool! Did you get to hear war stories from him? Did you tell him that you were a WWII aviation enthusiast?
-
Yes and Yes Brooke...
If it wasn't for the later... the former would have never happened.
Then as today I was passionate about the very history this man lived through.
What started out as normal business relationship between a client and service provider transformed...
In my eyes Finnegan was a god...
He was shocked that guys born after the war flew WW2 simulations against one another and would never let that history die...
It was shocking to him...and his eyes sparkled when talking to him about it...
Finnegan a was man you would have loved to meet...and one you would never forget...
An American Treasure...they don't make them like that anymore.

Your chances of being able to fly a 190 as a walkon are high. I haven't seen a scenario yet where there wasn't room for walkons, and the axis side has a lot of 190's.

That I think will end up being an understatement...
This will be one for the books...
White knuckle terror and pilots driven to levels of desperation, futility and elation not often seen..

If you are going to attend all of the frames except a couple, then you should register so that your side can more thoroughly integrate you into their planning and keep you informed.
