Would be happy with any, but I think I will vote for C this time.

B with a caveat
Your low numbers are not the result of the in game population. There is an investment in time to really run these right, and without it, there is no reason for someone like me to participate. You have removed the backbone of what a scenario is, and turned it into a long drawn out snapshot. Looking forward to seeing if you have learned anything at all, but so far, it doesn't look promising. I won't be participating in an October scenario. It's too soon. If you stay the course on October, Do not count my vote.

C as it looks to be the one with the best chance to have a balanced fight.
I do believe ROC's concerns should be taken into account however.

A is my vote

All,
The AH Scenario team would like to ensure that everyone has had the opportunity to vote on the October Aces High scenario theme. This is just a note to inform the community that the scenario CM staff will be closing the polls here on next Tuesday July 10, 2018 at Midnight EST.
We encourage everyone to vote on a theme and let us know what your preference is for the next scenario.
Time is limited, so act now! :D
As you can see right now, there is somewhat of a dead heat going on and we'd like to have a solid "WINNER" by next Tuesday.
Get your vote in while you can. We really appreciate your investment in helping the team bring these events to you.
Thank you and Best Regards,

What I'd really like to see is a side-switch A or C. D sounds like fun though, never tried a side switch either.

I would recommend a poll vote next time Brooke, makes it easier on you and everyone else.
I suppose I should ask about Santa Cruz. I took part in the Coral Sea side-switch, which was one of my earliest scenarios. Would players have the option of not switching sides? If not, could a player register for only 2 frames?
-
Definitely "C" :aok

I don't have the ability to create those.

Registration will be same as the previous Coral Sea events.

Not to make a thread hijack, but I've been itching for something similar: Conquest of Malaya and Singapore (January 1942). I picture a 12-hour scenario with Japanese controlling the northern three-quarters of Malaya while Allied forces control the southern tip and Singapore. Japanese aircraft include A6m2, Ki-43, and G4M Betty vs Allied Brewster Buffalo, Hurricane MKII, and B-25C (subbing for Lockheed Hudsons). For the sake of equal target opportunities - the Japanese would target multiple airfields, Allied shipping out of Singapore, and the city of Singapore itself; while Allies can target Japanese airfields, the Japanese supply fleet to the north of Singapore, and the occupied city of Kuala Lumpur. Alternatively, I could see this as more of a level bomber (G4M) with escorts (Ki-43) vs pure defensive intercept (Hurri II).

Not in the provided blurb, but there were multiple 110 groups in southern Italy at the time.

Blech. Not 12 hours or 4 frames worth of work in that one. :(

There should be plenty of 109's to go around. I doubt it would be an issue. I'd definitely want you on Axis.

While to late to vote, I like that the German bomber program is up and running again, so I am OK to fly JU-88's as something different. I do like the idea of a side switch, though. I believe it gives a better opportunity to show case each sides abilities under the same criteria, as well as demanding everyone learns two planes instead of just the one they are really good in. Would also like to see ROC get involved again. He has the ability to bring things a little more into the realm of how it could be, and that is not a slap to Brooke, who does more than a lot to produce these events for us. Again, just my opinions.

I want the 190's! If a handful of C.205's make it in (only 9 at this time, depending on the time) I may be up for those as well. I look forward to flying with and for you. :cheers:
