Really?
Not a single one of you want to step up and CO the AXIS?
I have done it 3 times now and the MALTA thing just sucked from the start....
It is time for some new blood.
I will help you anyway I can and there are others that will help. There are great people who are dedicated AXIS players and will support you....
Even if you have never done it before, we can help
AXIS is looking for someone to take the big chair!
Is that YOU!

Hell Ditto, we were all thinking you'd do it. :devil
Seriously though, I know my plate is going to be full as it is come October between work and college. Otherwise I'd do it.
I will however supply these lovely beer maidens to whoever steps up.

If I'm taken as a POW I call the second from the left!

I believe Branch37 tentatively volunteered, but he was completely ignored. Par for the course.
-
I'm pretty sure Branch has crossed over. :aok

Branch stated that he needed to know for sure that he could make it. I guess that's why there was little reaction at the time.
I will have to make damn sure I'm free before I can commit though.

Wish I could do it guys, sorry.
I have it on My Aces Bucket list to command a side in a scenario, unfortunately it won't be this one.
-
Oh goody!
12 hours of Luft chaos !
I'll take a 190A-5 please...hell, no Axis CO - everyone just load out an A-5. Might as well really smash em good!
I'll lead the Axis if no one steps up - but not as the side CO. Just in the air.
-

In truth, he wasn't ignored, and it isn't par for the course.
I contacted Branch privately. My sincere thanks to him for giving it serious consideration. Since he is a helpful person with enthusiasm, we might be lucky enough to have him as a CO in a scenario down the road, but not this one, as RL constraints precluded him from being able to do it this time around.
I also:
-- Contacted 12 other people privately,
-- Posted 2-3 public topics asking for volunteers for Axis CO,
-- Mailed all FSO squad CO's asking them,
-- Asked in the CM forum for any CM's to step up, and
-- Asked the community overall for help in getting an Axis CO.
Still, we don't have one yet.
How about you, TheBug -- will you do it? It's a good experience being a scenario CO. It can be challenging, but it is rewarding as well, and puts you into an elite group of players who have ever done it.

<giggle>
Yes...How 'bout it Tom?
Oct works. I'll back ya...
Great suggestion Brooke!! Possibly post of the year material... :devil
:airplane:

I'd be more interested in being CM Lead for Scenarios. Seems to be a bigger hole that needs filling.
Do you really need a CO for this silly 12hr event? No interest in the format, let's see what the next one brings. :salute

By the way, here is what is needed for being Axis CO.
Having been a GL in a scenario before.
Having enthusiasm.
Being a reliable, responsible person.
For anything else, highly experienced people on the axis side (ROC, Ditto, Stampf, Devil, etc.) can help.
Be a hero! Join the elite group of players who have ever been scenario CO's! :aok

Come on -- give it a try for a couple hours. You don't have to stay in if you don't like it, and it might be fun. :aok
-
Well, if I had the experience I'd do it but I don't. I've been concidering working up the CO part but I need a few more scenarios flying with Devil and watching how everything goes on. Then I'll step up to get a lot more involved. It's not like I have anything to do. Not much use for a pegleg welder /fabricator in the real world lol :cheers: :salute

CO'ing isn't too bad. I literally was thrown into CO'ing in the middle of frame 1 for the Dniepper side. I was leading III/JG52. I had a blast. It's. It too hard, feels like you're hearding cats sometimes, but it all works out when the fight breaks out.
-
If and only if there is absolutely no one, and I mean no one to take on the herculean task of running the Luftwaffe and all other possible avenues of potential leaders have been explored. With the stipulation that there are absolutely no objections from the lufties LTG, JG11, and also CMs.. As the last resort, I may take the job.

Thank you, Dolby! I sincerely appreciate that. I will keep exploring to the best of my ability and only take you up on it under the conditions you offer.
Truly -- thank you! <S>! :aok
Also, please see the following announcement.

I will send a bottle of this to whoever ends up being the Axis CO in the upcoming "Tunisia 1943" scenario on October 22nd. (If you are old enough -- if you are not old enough, I will send you a check for $40 instead.)
Volunteers for the position need only these qualifications:
-- You flew at last once as a GL in a past scenario.
-- You are an enthusiastic and reliable person.
Highly experienced guys on the axis side (ROC, Stampf, Ditto, Devil, and others) will be there to help you.

Herr Dolby (snappy Nazi salute)

Holy Sheite

The day hasn't been set yet. What day do you need it to be?

Yeah but the Daytona Speedway gets all the glory lol!!! I live 1 1/2 away from it lol :cheers: :old: :salute
-
I'm thinking October 22nd would be good.
-
all other saturdays except the 22nd are good....
-
October 8th might be a good selection due to it falling on Columbus Day weekend here in the States.
-
OK, October 15th.
(Later is better.)

8th is bad day for me, it's my girls birthday that day, and lord knows the flak I would catch if I missed that :pray
-
I'm on call every weekend in October so it really doesn't matter to me. I'm still going to fly but I may not make the whole frame.

Nothing says quality bonding time like being wingmen for a 12 hour scenario.
-

No -- I'm getting complaints on dates.
I will open it up to vote -- stay tuned.

Sorry about jumping the gun -- whatever I'm discussing as a date is generating too much yelling for me.
We will have to do it this way:

Question? Do we have a draft of the Tunisia rules and plane set yet?
-
Here you go Sloe. This is the latest draft - items subject to change.

I can help best I can, I'll be recovering from back surgery. And that is why I can't throw my name in. I truly don't know if I have 5 or 500 hrs. To commit.

Thank you, USCH, and my best wishes for your recovery.

Thanx for the link Devil.
Big Thanx to Brooke, for setting up this one! Looks intense and involved. As I have never done the 12 hour format before, I'm already excited thinking of how I'll spend AN ENTIRE DAY playing a scenario. Unlimited lives! FYI - I'm Pacific Time so I'll get up in the morning, have breakfast, then go kill things until Dinner time ( with short breaks for lunch and calls of nature). I'm so porta-potty (yes/no)? Move my refreshment refrigerator into my game room? Yes!
Now, which side to play on?
-
You're welcome to fly with me Sloe. I'll be leading one of the 109 groups.

It's my 3rd favorite choice here - behind both 109's.
Maybe in some Bizzaro World scenario where the RAF squared off against the USAAF or VVS. :devil
-
I've always wanted to see a "what if scenario" with USAAF RAF and West German Luftwaffe against the USSR

WOW! It's nice to be wanted. Especially at my age. :old: I think everyone knows I fly the Spits a lot, but I'm also quite partial to the German rides, especially in FSO and Scenarios. Now, BFOOT wants me in a P38 and that is just a big mistake on all our parts. :joystick: Also, I have to admit I usually lean to the Axis side, partly for the perceived additional challenge as the losers of WWII. :bhead I guess I'm just a sucker for the 'underdog'. :pray The logic of the underdog is... if you lose, well you weren't expected to win in the first place so no real shame as long as you gave it a gallant fight, :aok but if you win, it was a truly spectacular accomplishment and you are golden forever. :cool: :rock :cheers:
In summation, while I greatly appreciate everyone's offers, I'm going to think about this a bit until registration starts. But thanks ALL! :D
