CT Set-Up for April 23: GATHERING STORM: D-Day Approches

[Löwe]

Grits.

It wasnt anything aimed at you. It was aimed at the guys that had the fastest planes for the last two weeks , and fast planes were not a problem until the other guys have the fastest plane.

I agree with you if the G10 wasnt there , don't put it in. Field modifications are not the same as a factory "MODEL".

Before the debate even got started the luftwhinner  tag was thrown out by a guy that was trying to whine the Tempest into the setup.

Throw out the G10, and throw out the P-38L , and lets fly.

Remember this one?


Mr Fork's Rhine 1945 set-up

CROW IS NOW BEING SERVED IN THE DINING CAR

OK, after the BS storm over the 109G-10 I went back and pulled out all my Luftwaffe books and found out I was mistaken. (It happens occasionally, even to me.)  

First, the set-up is dated for MARCH 1944 as my cut-off date.

The 109G-10 did not begin to see service till October of 44 instead of March 44. It was wrong on the master list used by the CT Staff.

The P-38L did not come into service till June of 44.
The P-47D-25 did not come into service till April of 44.

So, to cut down on the ant-acid bill of the Allies both the 109G-10 and the P-38L will be pulled and the Allies will have to use the D-11 Jugg and try to get along as best they can with the Spit IX and the 51B "Runstang".

END OF DEBATE. SET-UP WILL GO UP AS LISTED AT BEGINNING OF POST. HAVE A NICE DAY!  

I hope you enjoy this set-up as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to you.

I knew it wasnt aimed at me Lowe, I neglected to put a "" after that first sentence.

[Jester]

Kinda feel like Lowe on this one though. I don't remember hearing the "Wailing and Nashing of Teeth" over the Typhoon being put into the Burma set-up awhile back.

The cook would like to know if you'll be having soup, or salad with your meal skipper?

Some of us did post nasty comments about both though.

Didnt really seem like a whine fest at all to me. (compared to some we've seen) Your original set up looked fine to me. Do we really need to be that dead on as far as dates to get some decent plane sets? Just an opinion, with or with them it ought to be fun.

[Jester]

To some it is a MAJOR problem.

[storch]

Given the amount of complaints, that might be the most advisable way to go Jester.  pick a time period, use what was there and be done with it.  That way there can be no hedging for either side.  If someone is unhappy then there is always the MA or IL-2.

[Eagler]

r u sure there wasn't a 109f still laying around there in 44?

If he gets a 109F then I get a Spit V.

True, but ive yet to see you botch a set up,:aok

[plank]

Boy was I confused until I realized there was an edit to the original post. I was wondering why everyone was complaining about a plane that wasn't in the setup.

I guess it's a good thing I kept myself out of college, would have been wasting taxpayer's money

Some slight changes:

CT Set-Up for April 23: GATHERING STORM: D-Day Approches
GATHERING STORM: D-DAY APPROACHES

It's early 1944. The Axis are being beat back by the Allies on all fronts. In basic defense mode, Germany is holding onto France out of pure determination, not force. The Allies are gearing up towards their planned D-Day invasion in May but the date looks like it may slip to early June. While American bomber and fighter squadrons hold the northen part of the airfields, the British forces south pose an important element. Churchill may invade early, but what does Eisenhower have in store up north?
