Let me be the first to say, NO level bombers. Let's try this setup once without the Ki67's.

Looks Good. No Jets, No Alternate Reality, No Finn/Russ, not Based on Post WWII.

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

would you consider adding the A6M5 and the Hog/Kitty towards Wednesday/Thursday

Would be interesting to see the stats for early week and then late week!

Interesting idea there Storch I'll give it some thought and discuss it with the staff.

Add the F4U and maybe the P40E to simulate the New Guinea theater?

Agree. Added that F4U-1

What Storch said might be a good idea. Another good idea thats floated around lately came from VF-27's Erg. His suggestion is to have less models per setup. I like his suggestion, I may not know what his views are on it, but to me, it would allow more setups.

If you concentrated on a maximum of two fighter types for each side when possible on these setups might become more interesting, plus it would give you CM's more options. The 7 model on this side 6 on the other have been done time after time, and ideas are running out for new setups.

How about a setup with say P-47 D11's Hurri II's or a applicable spit model against the 109F, OR ,,,,NOT AND ,,G-2, and the FW-190A5.

You could use the same map later with later models , or dfferent models. Same map but different setup. It would work in PTO's, ETO's, MTO's, and Eastern Front.

Justa thought

I like the idea, too... maybe 2 each side to start with, then add a 3rd on wednesday or so.

Before people get carried away, I'd like to state for the record that I have not said whether anything will change as the week rolls on or not. I simply said I will give it thought and discuss the matter with the rest of the staff and we'll see.

IF anything does happen it will not happen before Wednesday night.

Lets try it with out the KI-67 and Boston. The KI-67 has no place there and the Bostons are a bit frustrating for Zeke drivers.

Soulyss · « **Reply #12 on:** February 12, 2004, 04:17:23 PM »

I have talked bombers with Brady and we've decided to give the setup a go w/out level bombers and see how it goes.

Slash27 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 12, 2004, 04:27:03 PM »

Good deal. Guys have been asking for that for awhile. I think it will work out ok.

Dennis · « **Reply #14 on:** February 12, 2004, 04:28:28 PM »

Whoohoo!

Was starting to suffer from withdrawal.

If you're counting votes, here's another to leave the level bombers out.

Lowe. Agreed on the suggestion you attributed to erg. I made exactly the same pitch back in December to limited response.
