Warloc, who was CiC for the Allies, got called into work near the last minute and asked me to handle things.
"The orders are done and everyone knows what they are doing," he said.
"Shure, no problem," I reply.
After all, what could be better than Germany in the winter? There is skiing and sleigh rides. Snopes and brandy. Warm fires in the fire places and warm fraus in the…kitchens. Yea, that's it, in the kitchens making strudel.
So I figured I better get familiar with the orders; but upon reviewing the Objectives, it was discovered that the aircraft where assigned to specific bases and the orders had the wrong fields. I had about 3 hours to blast out an email before the start of the frame.
Some squads had already drawn up some elaborate plans to handle their portion of the orders and that was now all out the window. I was expecting complete bedlam at the start of the frame but it turned out to be a fairly normal CiC duty in the end.
Thanks everyone for your professionalism in adjusting to the last minute changes.

Good catch MachNix :aok , As I never even noticed the issue and could have been really bad if let slip by. Most of us CO's and XO's in FSO have been doing this long enough that re-organizing a plan last minute is almost routine. Shows what a great FSO community we actually have :D

No sweat. Glad you caught it.
As a seasoned FSO CIC, I felt these Objectives were very difficult. Some of the most difficult I can remember. Minimums for all aircraft, 8 objectives to attack and defend in Frame 1 and field restrictions made them no easy task. We got it done, but not without some serious planning.

All is well. Good CIC and good squads and CO's running ops. Well done! :aok
