Rabbidrabbit makes a good point. Rather than the dead guys at say..30 to 40 mins into it, upping in small groups, perhaps we should do two large missions at the top of each hour.

 Example: Knights and Bishops launch main body attack at the start of the event with escort. These flights can last close to an hour before we know if they are going to get to target or die trying. Many are already dead. This leaves them waiting, or doing other arena stuff for an hour. In which time they may lose interest by the time the second window opens, launching the second wave.

   So rather than do that...why dont we discuss this. We split the attacks in two waves at strat. A main body consisting of the heavies, and a secondary strike group consisting of medium bombers. It would be up to the COs which group launches first at the top of the hour. The other group waits until T+30 TO LAUNCH. By that time, casualties will be mounting in both escort and bomber crews. They can then join the second wave that launches at T+30 minutes into the event. (Meaning if the event starts at 3:30 pm et, the second wave would launch at 4:00pm et)

    A third mission would be posted to launch at   T+60 (4:30 pm et) This would consist of the survivors of the first mission, casualties of the second mission, and anyone who wanted to get in on the event at that time.

A fourth and final mission could be posted to launch at 5:00 pm et. It would be the last chance to hit any targets leftover. It would require fast planes, and could consist of Jabos (fighter/bomber)if the CO wanted it. I think the last mission should be the only mission allowing Jabos, as the flavor of the event is geared toward strategic bombing. However since time is a factor, this would give the attacking forces a fast way to finish a target, and since the event would likely expire near that time, it would allow players to play past the End of event time in a fighter with something to do, rather than to continue on to target in a B24, that wont count anyways.

  So basically there will be a mission launched every 30 minutes of the event.
T+0   Bombers and escort
T+30 Bombers and escort
T+60 Bombers and escort
T+90 Bombers and escort OR Jabo
 At T+120 the event is over.

   This way only 4 missions have to be made. It will allow late comers a chance to join, allow casualties a chance to get up again without waiting too long, and create an even flow to the event, structured simply enough to be fun.

Discuss :)

Oh..as far as the outcome of OTS2...Id have to rate it as a glorious Bish/Luft defense. The Knight/US 8th AF hit them very hard ruining cities and the comm center, but the Rook/RAF was massacred...although the RAF hit some key targets, at great cost.

  Outcome:Bish/Luft Major Victory

LOL  man that was right on top of each other :)

Still liking it alot, and it does make the mission creation much easier, got really hectic trying to put one together at the end while in flight.

Might also be a good idea for the actual mission planner to be on the ground tracking ops and modifying the flight plans as the situation develops, rather than flying.

I will gladly do this for the Rooks side, as you call out the changes and progress, I could modify the overall mission and not be distracted with trying to maintain formation and communicating with the pilots that are down and need direction.

Sounds Good....I just made a mission with a 2 hour window and if you died it was reccomended you lift with at least one other person.

I think the 4 missions is a good idea but I may have a issue with the time. My normal squad knight is Sat. 8-10 cst. And the honey due list is usually worked on sat. afternoons.
We'll see.

Great Idea - Had Fun With It, But...

If you are allowing the USAAF & RAF to use all of their vehicles from the beginning to the end of the war, I think the Luftwaffe should be able to use theirs as well.  Part of a good defense on the part of the Luftwaffe would be to kill the fh's, vh's, & ord at the bases closest to thier lines using Ju-88's & AR234's.  Otherwise, the only Luftwaffe defense is reactionary.  Think of the possibilities!!

Just a thought

This event is just about forming a mission, delivery the cargo to target, and trying to get home alive. We arent hitting bases, or capturing anything.  Just the strats..no HQ.  

    Mainly its a challenge to the allied teams to see if they can invade the defending teams airspace, and impose their will thru teamwork, or its about the defensive schemes the Luftwaffe setups, to hold back both allied onslaughts.
