Southern Conquest - Low Numbers Concern

[Brooke]

plane layouts look like a concern as well. Hurri2s and F4Fs vs 109s thats pretty rough.

I don't think so, for a few reasons.

It's not just Hurri II's and F4F's vs. 109's.

The 109's are E's.

This mix has run many times in "This Day in WWII:  Operation Torch" without problems.

In Scenarios, I think it is important to use the mix of aircraft that was actually there, with adjustments to numbers to create balance.  In Operation Torch, is was Hurri II's, F4F's, and Seafires vs. Hawks (for which we use P-40C's) and Dewoitine D.520's (for which we use Bf 109E's and C.202's as the best match).

On the low registration numbers, something that might help.  I remember the Battle of Tunisia, the CO's on both sides fostered the individual squadrons to come up with period recruitment posters, sometimes representing the historical groups, fighter squadrons, tank regiments, etc.  We had quite a number of creative recruitment posters for both sides showing up in the general forum all the time.  There was a very immersive spirit for that scenario.  It was also very educational for those who were WWII buffs.
