I noticed 249 were in the last AH scenario.   How did you guys find it compared to WB scenarios?
Dont pull any punches, I am looking for an honest answer.

Welcome 249!!!  I run RAF-planeset missions in the main arena on a regular basis, and hopefully we can get together on one.

Xander do you mean Afrika Korps?  I don't think that was the same group.  Each of the flights in AK took the name of a real unit that was in the battle, regardless of the squadron affiliation of the pilots.  So we had a 249 Sqn in that event that didn't have anybody from the CHQ 249.  I am in 308 (Polish) Sqn RAF but we flew in AK as the Polish Fighting Team which was attached to 145 Sqn in the real-life battle.

Xander if you talk about 249th in Malta ... that was the historical squadron based in Malta at that time and the Sq. No. was used in the writeup for historical reasons .. it wasn't the 249 Squadron fom WBs  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
