I hope the Euro-time TODs start soon.  They are more convenient for my squad (Mostly Yanks and Canucks).

But

Big Week times are not Euro-friendly?
Hostile Shores was not a Euro-friendly time?

Pac Rim Snapshots are starting up again too:  http://www.ceres.dti.ne.jp/~tamichi/ahevent/jp/top.htm (http://www.ceres.dti.ne.jp/~tamichi/ahevent/jp/top.htm)

Selector, a European friendly TOD was scheduled to start this Saturday at 8:00 GMT(I think...Seeker, did I transpose that correctly?  :)), but the CM that was going to run it resigned from the team this week. Therefore, we're in the process of bringing more CM's onto the team. Unfortunately, the European TOD will be delayed by a couple of weeks because of this. But there is definately one on the way. Please hold tight, it should only be a couple of weeks.

S!

As banana said, we had a Saturday 3PM U.S. EST time TOD ready to kick off November 24th.  However we lost our CM and so we are delaying it.  (no point in putting one on the same weekends as BIG WEEK.

We are very much looking forward to providing all kinds of interesting scenarios for you guys.

The first Saturday afternoon TOD will be January 5th, 12th and 19th.

It's tentative title is "London Calling, Prelude to Big Week", and will be played on the Europe map.  Historical date start:  December 1st 1943.

Will include lots of newer planes such as the Mosquito, as well as situations involving Fleet Air Arm aircraft.

We will be putting up a registration board for Squads very soon.

StSanta,

Ya sure, ya got me. I am of Swedish heritage, along with some German and a sprinkling of English. My ancestors came over on the boat from Sweden in the 1860's. The pronunciation of my last name in Sweden I'm told is Dah-lane, (Rhymns with "Da-train"), but we've Americanized it to Dah'len(rhymns with "Stalin").

Big Week is Euro friendly.

I'm almost a Euro myself (yes, I'm British  :D).
