Forgive me if I have missed other threads, but are we expecting more regular Fortress Europe missions now that this is the "Final Test"?

It will be mostly a once a month mission, with the exception of some scenario type events centered around major campaigns, like Blitz Week (This July) and Big Week that will be played every week.

I do have other missions being readied, these won't be 8th Air Force Missions. Other missions will moslty be Luftwaffe or RAF missions.

TARGET: FRANKFURT TROOP STRAT (12.7.2)

Yes.

There will be limited perk aircraft for the Luftwaffe. For the sake of suspense, I will contact the Luftwaffe pilots during the event.
