Title: Tour 232 Winners!
Post by: haggerty on June 04, 2019, 05:35:10 PM

Its that time of the month again!  As I am not a fan of the current scoring system I try to come up with a little different categories to spice up my interest.  Without further ado, here are the categories I've decided on in no particular order:

John Bulkeley Award (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Bulkeley) (PT Boat kills):	IanHood	29
Obsolete Award (Dive Bomber Kills):	LuckDD	7

Because of budget cuts, all winners are expected to design and print their own award certificates, or signature logos to display their achievements.  I went ahead and added links to the people behind the awards so that higheye could brush up on his WW2 history.  If for some reason I get pulled away to another game again, I expect the person most worried about score (waystin2) to carry on with this tradition in my place.

If you can think of some more categories, let me know and I'll add them if they are reasonable.  Also let me know if I've overlooked you.

*For non total kill categories, only top 15 players in that category were looked at.

S/Sgt Michael Arooth Award (Level bombers, non primary attack role)   
Joe Foss Award (All US Navy Planes)   
Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer Award (BF-110, Mossie)

Actually, the post was not centered around yourself this month so I am typeless (forum speak for speechless). I am mildly impressed.  :aok
