Title: Need He-111 bomber pilots for "Hardest Day" Event
Post by: shotgunneeley on July 03, 2017, 01:49:12 PM: "The Hardest Day" of the Battle of Britain is set for Saturday August 19th, 2017

My handle is ShtGn and I will be leading Kampfgeschwader 76 across the Channel. The Hardest Day event will live up to its namesake as a 12 hour special AH scenario - I am planning to fly the entire time, but I do not expect other members of the group to participate the full time. I'm looking for eleven more capable pilots interested in flying the Heinkel He-111 bomber to hit targets as directed (field hangars and city strats). I don't mind having beginner bomber pilots wishing to join up - on the contrary, I relish the opportunity to introduce others to a session of living history. If you are a novice, you have roughly two months to practice and train before the critical moment of Operation Adlerangriff arrives. I hope to see you there and at the controls taking an He-111 into battle under the colors of KG 76. Just shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

Join the Axis - Join KG 76!

Recruit on! We need some more Heinkel pilots to take part in an amazing air battle over England. The date is Saturday, August 19th - and it will be the HARDEST DAY!

I appreciate the offer, I'm not looking to cannibalize from other groups - they need players all the same. I intended for this to be a general advertisement to anyone not already plugged into the event to get involved by flying He-111s.

the Stukas should be used as decoys and try to draw their fighters away
from 111s... just my opinion :salute
