That sounds fantastic!

Two questions:

1) Ironicaly I'm in a mainly US squad. Are temporary affiliations allowed for this? I don't want to leave the squad I'm in, but I'd very much like to take part.

2) Which European time zone is "eastern", I thought I knew them al, but that's a new one.

That's right straffo.  This Saturday we end daylight savings time and Eastern Time zone will be GMT-5.  Right now it's GMT-4.

Actually, it works for me and I hope to be a part of it.

Hmm noon on a saturday may seem bad timing for you to join our Euro Tod but lemme tell you, 3 or 4 am for us Euro's to come and play in the current USA Tod is even more unfriendly  :)

S!

I will be administering the first European TOD.

The Scenario will be a modified `London Calling`.

It will be set earlier, in December `43 and use the Europe map.

Aircraft will be:

Allied:

Spit IX
Typhoon 1B
Mosquito VI
Lancaster
P-47D11
P-51b (Limited numbers)
B-26
B-17

Fleet Air Arm

F6f
TBM

German

109G6
109G10 (limited numbers)
190A5
190A8
190F
Ju88A

I am going to be focusing on the pre-invasion attacks on tactical targets, although some B17 vs Strat targets will be involved.

Attacks on Coastal traffic will be a part of this.

On the German side, the posture will be mostly defensive, although with some mandatory missions to disrupt the Allied buildup to invasion, and Hitler ordered `propaganda` bombing missions.
