Title: Squad COs, post your country preference for TOD2
Post by: Rojo on August 23, 2001, 02:31:00 PM

Hello, TOD'ers.  I am the Admin CM for TOD2: "The Beginning of the End."  This is a PAC theater TOD, with the USN/USAAF pitted against the IJN/IJAAF.  It takes place in the Mindinao terrain.  Please check in here with your preference for which country (USA or Japanese) your squad would prefer.  I'm not guaranteeing you'll get what you ask for, but I'll do my best.  Thanks.

VMF-323 Requests, naturally, U.S. forces.
Thank you.

Incidently, a full report is going to be mailed to the remaining members of the original VMF-323 members if indeed we are Allied.  I'm in contact with George C. Axtell, the Commanding officer of the first VMF-323 squadron, kinda neat.  :)

SBM is flyin' Axis for TOD 1. Would like a change of pace so if possible I'd like to switch to Allies for TOD 2.

We all pretty much fly Allied stuff exclusively, so please consider us an Allied squad and only switch us to Axis if neccessary to balance the sides and/or give everyone an equal shot at flying for the side they want etc. Otherwise - Allied.

Please tell what the planeset will be for both sides and percentage of which AC for each side. IE, N1K will be 20% IJA AC in frame, A6m will be 50%,.... Or if this will not be the way it is handled then explain please. What model corsair will be used?

What USAAF AC wil be used?

Thx in advance

The plane set is as follows:

Allies: P-38, F6F, F4U-1D, B-29, TBM

Axis: Ki-61, A6M5, N1K2, Ju-88 (Betty sub.)

I'll probably make the side assignments Sunday, so try to have your preferences in by then.  Thanks.

Why are we using Mindanao terrain when Jihad's Philippines terrain is available?

The TOD page doesn't list "B29" or any heavey bomber for the Allied.  But the page also doesn't list the P38 either.  Someone might want to update.  Here's a cut-n-paste from the TOD page.

========
Allied Aircraft
- F4UD (25, 27)
- F6F (35, 39)
- TBM’s (41, 43, 45)
- PT boats (all task groups)
=========

-Puke
332nd Flying Mongrels

Just checked the TOD#2 post, and it reads the following:

- F4UD (C18)
- F6F (C15)
- TBM's (C15, C18)
- P-38 (A8, A21)  
- B-26 (A8, A21)
- C-47 (A8, A21)

I did modify it a day or two ago, so it must have been incorrect before.  As for the B-29 flub above, call it wishful thinking  ;).

Welcome aboard Funked & 308!

Looking forward to flying WITH the assassins this time instead of hiding from them.   :)

Hey, is there a way to see all the squads signed up for future TOD?  Looked at the webpage, didn't see anything..I just want to know what squads to recruit, and which are already signed up.

Heya Rip ... hit the "guest pilot registration" page. Currently we are just listing all the squads that have signed up and have not divided them by tours or anything yet.
