The scenario "Enemy Coast Ahead" starts mid November -- 1943 combat between the RAF and Luftwaffe for dominance of the English Channel.

Our F-8's will play a significant part in the outcome of the battle.

We need you to join us!  :aok

I think most underestimate the 190-F8s abilities.  I have been asking for the past week for ppl ingame to sign up for Axis.   :salute

The FW 190F-8 is a marvelous fighterbomber -- fast, nimble, sturdy -- with excellent firepower.  And, it's a beautiful plane!

Come on, attack pilots, let's take it to the enemy on the ground and in the air.  :aok

Ah -- that's a misinterpretation on your part, gyrene81, but understandable given that I left off the caption.  Actually, the painting depicts the explosive release of the enemy pilots' colons upon seeing the 190's over their field.

  Top pic has the FW190F8 in its element. Going as fast as it can above the enemy while they are on the ground!

   Shortly after this picture was painted the Spit center rolled and promptly shot down all the 190s :P

We'd love to have you on the LW side -- I don't want to poach players from the RAF, though.  I would suggest requesting to switch only if you yourself really would rather fly F-8's than what you are flying on the RAF side.

OK, fighterbomber pilots -- Caldera is on board now.  Join up to fly with a master. :)

F-8's will play a very important role in this scenario.  Come fly where you can be a superstar!  :aok

<S> Brooke.  It seems that you have me confused with someone else.  I'm still on my two week trial.
Although, I did graduate Magna cum Tarde from mud moving school.   :D

Heh, maybe so.  :)

However, I am really happy that you are giving the scenario a try -- we very much welcome new players.

And in that case, you should be able to recruit a few guys to come with you to fly the mighty F-8! :)

By the way, the FW 190F-8's are full.

Thank you, fighterbomber pilots, for stepping up!

A big <S> to you -- you will be a key to Luftwaffe victory!

I see -- 91 Sqn Spitfires like to have target practice on the various wrecked buildings left in the wake of passing F-8's.

I signed up 8 times to fly 109G with some squaddies. Still does not show me on roster.

First time it showed the position filled after I signed on.  Later Soulyss said I did not appear on roster. Went back and it still showed an opening.

Seven more times I tried...... there is a problem. :)

I know.  I'm trying my best to get it fixed, and have been trying for a while now.  It is very frustrating, I know.

In the meantime, please check ahevents.org to make sure your forum name and message-board ID is correct.  (Go to "User Menu"->"My AH Events Profile" and make sure that what you list for "HTC's Forum ID", etc., is correct, and if not, update it.)  Almost all forum problems are a result of registrants not putting in correct forum ID's.

If you could do this, just to check, it can help.  It doesn't necessarily matter if your info was correct for DGS.  Something in the databases could have gotten screwed up between then and now.

-- Go to http://ahevents.org
-- On the upper menu bar, mouse over "User Menu" and click on "My AH Events Profile".
-- At the bottom of the page that next appears, see if "AH in-game ID" and "HTC's Forum ID" are correct for you.  Please especially note if either of them is blank.
-- If there are any errors or blank entries for in-game ID or forum ID, go to the top of the page and click on "Update Your Profile".
-- In the page that next appears, put in the correct information for "AH in-game ID" and "HTC's Forum ID", and click the "Update" button at the bottom of the page.

Both are correct. My forum, in game, and scenario name all the same.

When I press register after selecting JG27 it goes to here....

Thanks, Shuffler, for the info.

I'll send 4440 a PM asking him to put you in I/JG27 if he can, even though you won't show up as registered because the registration system is fubared.
