There are a lot of us who were looking forward to the Coral Sea scenario. We clearly can't run a scenario with the low registration numbers, but we can do the following as a much lighter but still fun event.
I will run a series of the "This Day in WWII" events on the same days as the scenario would have run, starting with Coral Sea. These events are fun with as few as 40 people playing, and can handle as many as about 200 playing -- so should work fine almost regardless of who joins us.
July 23: Coral Sea, details here:

For the above, I would love to keep the same people as CO's of each side, if those CO's are willing.
Are you up for it?
-
Do folks want this to run at 3 pm Eastern (so that we can have Europeans join us) or stick to 9:30 pm Eastern?
-
It would be nice to include the Europeans at 3 pm eastern time.
-
Summer is tough to run scenarios. I registered knowing full well I probably would make 2 frames at best.

930 was what allowed me to attend this scenario. I'd really like to see 930est
-
I know I didn't register but was planning on attending as a walk on when I could due to my ever changing schedule but there is no way I can attend if the time is changed to 3pm. I do completely understand if it is changed though as I know everyone here is looking to have as much participation as possible to maximize the fun factor.
Hopefully I do get to join in though. I was looking forward to being able to try my first scenario.
-
OK, we'll keep it at 9:30 pm Eastern (same time as scenario was going to run).
-
I'm in and for it too! Might be fun! :)

I will take CO slot if Waystin2 does not.
IJN or USN...prefer USN but will accept either
If Waystin2 does take a CO slot, I will fly under his command...I will not fly against him

Just to be clear, we will run it on July 23 in Special Events II.
I will be enabling takeoff at 9:30 pm Eastern.

See you all at 9:30 E.T. :cheers:

YES!!! I would participate if it was - you've shot yourselves in the foot with this stupid timing!! Change it to 3pm, the time which has proved most successful over many years here and previously in AW, and I bet more people would join. You could always add a couple of mid-week frames for those who can't make this time on weekends. Anyway, see you are sticking with the original times, so you've counted me out. :( :mad:

Brooke,
She is radioactive...you had better listen to her
Besides any event with Flossy in it is a better event from the start
:aok

LOL, thanks for that Oneway! :o

I totally agree with that.
The reason I stuck to 9:30 is that it was the original schedule (this non-regular running of the "This Day in WWII" event is a stand in for the cancelled scenario), and I started to get some folks who registered for the scenario saying that they couldn't make it if I changed the time.
The regularly scheduled "This Day in WWII" events are all run at times that are good for Europeans (even when I have to run two events in a day to cover both US and Europe). I even ran the Milne Bay battle at a time that would cover Australia (although it meant me getting up at 3 am on a work day to do it). August's "This Day in WWII" is Battle of Britain, Eagle Day. It will run at a time that Europeans can attend.
-
need I say I'm in. Flossy has some pull around here? :devil
-
Not that I don't have any love for the Euro crowd, but I feel with it being the dead of winter in Australia soon (and the middle of summer in USA and EU), this is the time of year to lean closer twords their schedule for greater numbers.
