Wednesday May 11th, 2011 10:00pm Eastern in SEA II Snapshot -   "The Desert Fox" Hosted by 68Baltar.
On December 7th 1941 a different battle of desperation raged on the African continent. The Desert Fox, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel and his Afrika Korp forces, low on fuel, ammunition, and other provisions faced annihilation by the attacking British Commonwealth Forces and the venerable RAF. This SNAPSHOT will reenact the desert defense of the Afrika Korp forces at Gazala in late 1941. A date that would live in infamy.
Snapshots are walk on events and all are welcome. Forums are located Here

In this Aces High Scenario, the RAF, RAAF, USAAF and AVG forces are defending Burma from the Japanese horde which is conquering all before them.  Flying Hurricane Mk I's, P-40B's, P-40E's, and Brewster Buffalos with little support and no reinforcements in sight they try to maintain air superiority over the vital port of Rangoon.  Rangoon is the vital link in the supply chain to the Chinese forces fighting the Japanese.
The IJAAF (flying Ki-43s (A6M2's), Ki-44s (A6M5b's), G4M1 Bettys, and Dinahs (Bf-110C's)) have taken bases in Siam and are setting up for a bombing offensive against the vital port.
Pilots get two lives in aircraft and unlimited lives as gunners. There will be four frames , each lasting 3 hours.  Start time will be 3:30pm Eastern US Time on Saturdays.
This is a remake of the classic "Rangoon 42" scenario with a few changes as we have different planes available now.
