Some questions

[Devil 505]

Not sure where this has any bearing either. If the Luftwaffe was been given more advanced aircraft for the event than were available in the real battle, why even mention it. The Luftwaffe has a bunch of F-8s and enough G-14s to make a difference. So what is the issue now?

You do realize our G-6 is an early build of Spring '43 and not very representative of what was at the front in June of '44, similar to out Spit 9 being the earliest of the type, right?

You should also know that the G-14 designation was an attempt to make standard of all the improvements made to the G-6 since it's introduction, and thus a late build G-6 from June '44 would be identical to a G-14 in July.

And furthermore, you should know that we do not have the A/S variant of the G-6 in AH to represent the 109's with capable performance at altitude. These were also present in June '44.

A better balance would have the G-6 and Spit9 in equal numbers and no limit on the G-14's.

I get the disagreements with the Bf 109 variants in this time frame. In the future though you guys should ask before frame 1 rolls out so we can maybe make a change.

I like to see the min maxs listed.

Anyways let's see how it plays out.

Just a point - The orders went out with Max numbers on them.  Maybe the way I represented them wasn't clear.  I'm sorry if that was the case.  I was having a discussion about the Spit8 numbers before the frame but again, it clearly didn't register with the people responsible.
I was also having massive trouble with the pita that is the mission system which left me busier than a one legged pogo stick jockey in an arse kicking contest.

In fact I will candidly say that this frame was the most difficult I can recall in respect of planning.  There was a small error with the write up we were sent and therefore both CICs planned initially without all the info.  A quick rehash and reallocation was required and frankly it was difficult getting it out in time.

I was quite wary that in the rewrite I may have got something wrong, unbalanced, or just plain left something out.

None of which really matters in the wash-up because the intent was always good.
From memory the Allies started with about +20 people.  That is too hard to make up in most frames.

Anyways, the effluent that has since flowed in the Allied mail list is enough to demonstrate that Friday Squad Ops has lost its soul.  Not going to put up with this stuff anymore.  My patience has been flushed. 

Going to give it a couple of days to reflect and then make a decision.

Love you all
