Post by: Brooke on August 04, 2019, 01:05:26 AM
Time for glorious flying in Battle of Britain.

August 31st.

It's a magnificent 12-hour battle, and you can fly in any part of that you want.

If you are going to fly in it, please register so that we know how many are there:

Question for you Brooke. I am registered for these events under my "normal" User Name/email account. Being said...I fly with the UL,s for these events. I failed to inquire before this last scenario. What should I do to insure I am in UL's Uniform? Cant wait for this one!! Most fun/lasting memories I have in this game :rock

You'll get invited to your BOB squad before the event starts. Your BOB squad leader has to issue the invite.

Spar, I suggest contacting the UL's to ensure that they are participating and to determine which squadron they will be registering as. As of now, there is an open Hurricane squadron and an open 109E squadron. Perhaps they would like to fill one of those. If they decide not to fly, I hope that you still do. We have plenty of great options for everyone.

Yes they/and I will be there. I have an account I fly with for UL Squad stuff, but I was registered in Special Events as BW1stpar...need to be under the ULcapkid. Since I only have 1 email account(the one on registration) I wasnt able to register as ULcapkid. Should have been clearer in my question I guess...damn Wild Turkey lol

No problem being registered that way. No need for any change.

Ok...one more question. Scenario before last, I had registered Allies but was swapped to Axis(thanks Perd). There was/seemed some animus...maybe to strong a term, but was concern that I had read allied plans. Noone really gave me grief over it...just dont want it to happen again  :uhoh Would you guys have a problem with me registering for a SPIT,now, just to lock in my "preferred" and then if the UL's sign up...I fly with them IF they take a 109 Squadron? Pretty sure the may pick Hurris over the 109...but just incase they dont want either of these..I can still fly with the spit? If its the SLIGHTEST issue, just let me know.  :rock

Is fine currently.

Once teams start discussing strategy in their side forum, that's when they get nervous about guys switching sides.

You mean they will not sign up with you? Signup and recruit them to the side you pick.

Yes, they will fly with me :aok That being said, we wanted spits(dont say it  :rofl), and they got full quick. SO...that may be an issue. Probably not..but wanted a back up plan. They all have lives and cant say for sure if they can be there. I on the other hand, have only AcesHigh :D just wanted to insure that everyone was OK with this situation. It came up before and dont want to ruffle feathers  :uhoh

I think Ditto is handing out free Lederhosen to every pilot that signs up with I/JG 26! 

Stylish, yet practical.

Drat -- we totally missed that.

These bigger events are like oil tankers.  It can be nearly impossible to change direction once it's going.

I'll discuss with some folks and see what they think.

Ok, convinced me to sign up for JG26. Can't resist flying a 109-E. This will be my first event but sounds fun. Preference is any 109 sqd in case things get mixed around.

The date is still August 31st.

We know some folks might be travelling that weekend, but moving things can cause bigger problems.

I'm looking forward to shooting all you Spits and Hurris from the dorsal gun of my He 111 in about 2.5 weeks!  :aok
