My first event as a CM went extremely smooth, mostly due to the help of
Cobra and
banana. I was very impressed by the behavior and maturity of all in the arena tonight. banana, Cobra and I were watching all over the arena during the fiercest fighting, planes going down in flames, and not a word was typed over channel one for at least 5 minutes. And even then, they were congratulatory.
The "snapshot" consisted of a German bombing raid flown by JU88's with bf109f's as escorts.
Ripsnort was the CO of the Luftwaffe side. The brits were led by
SwoopGB as CO, leading his spit5 interceptors. The two sides met as the Luftwaffe was about halfway to target. The spitfire hordes dove past the 109's and inflicted heavy damage on the JU88 flight. However, the bf109's began to even the field after a while, and cleared the way for some of the JU88's to get to their targets. Both sides fought hard in a very enjoyable Snapshot. BTW, this one was designed by daddog.
Here are some screens taken during the frame...

Hope to see you at the next event.
