Operation Plunder was a World War II military operation through which the Allied forces crossed the Rhine River at Wesel, Rees, and at a point located south of the Lippe River, establishing a bridgehead on the east bank of the Rhine. Operation Plunder was executed by the British 2nd Army, commanded by Sir Miles Dempsey, and the US 9th Army, under the command of Lieutenant General William Simpson, from March 23 to March 24, 1945, in North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany.
On March 24, 1945, in conjunction with Operation Plunder, the Allies also launched Operation Varsity, which was to support the British 2nd Army and the US 9th Army in their mission to secure a firm foothold on the other side of the Rhine River. It was carried out by the British 6th Airborne Division and US 17th Airborne Division. This combine airborne force had to capture the towns of Schnappenberg and Hamminkeln, clear part of the Diersfordter Wald of German forces, and secure three bridges over the Issel River.
This setup is to Mimic that crossing. while i understand that the map is huge, this setup is
put together to help prepare people for the winter sky, death ground scenario.
all aircraft for the scenario will be active except fighter jets and tempests.
have fun and play nice!

heh, I guess that would depend on the chick.
As for "whats your sign", never works for us old guys, all our signs are the same. On a good night we only get up once to pee, and in general we can hide our own Easter eggs. :lol
