You can do the same thing.
I want your flying skill with me to hammer the enemy on October 22nd for the "Tunisia 1943" scenario.
You like being in the action, right?
You like being important, right?
A-20's will be BOTH in this upcoming battle. :aok
The battle runs from noon until midnight on Oct. 22nd, and you can fly in whatever portions of that suit you.
It will be GLORIOUS!
Will you join me?
If you are willing, send me a message, and we will fly and fight in the blue skies over the sands of Tunisia together! :aok

From http://www.47thbombgroup.org/history.html
"By mid-February the U.S. Ground Forces around us were hard pressed by the Germans and we had to evacuate Thelepte and move back to Youks-les-Bains behind the mountains. . . . Beneath low cloud in the valleys northwest of Kasserine Pass we pounded the Germans all day. Eleven missions went out. Some aircraft flying four times over. We certainly helped turn around the enemy that day. They were approaching our airfield from two directions. . . . The Group was awarded its first Distinguished Unit Citation (DUC) for these combat actions."

But A-20 Havoc pilots and crew were aggressive, effective, and delivered the fight up close and personal!
