expirience?

"The Japanese got 163's and 262's from their German allies (among many other aircraft, tanks, ships, etc., and licenses for manufacture). They produced some 163's as the Mitsubishi J8M/Ki-200 "Shusui" and some 262's as the Nakajima Ki-201 "Karyuu"."

Mmm_hmmmm. "On November 1st, 1945 -- X-day" those inferior copies would have faced the latest US models such as the P-51H, P-82, FR-1, F8F, F7F and P-80 (in the P.I. summer 1945 waiting for starters before the invasion).

p.s. Should I even ask if this will be another weekend only event?

Yes, this one is scheduled to be a weekend event.

I am considering a different timeframe, though, instead of 3pm EST.

"I am considering ..."

First time in over three years I saw someone from the scenario teams express something like that. You have my sincere appreciation for having said so and, if it's possible to do another time frame, my gratitude also. Thanks ROC.

Well Thank you for that Westy.

After seeing the great turnouts on things like FSO that runs well into the night, I know that there are better times to run an event than noon on the west coast or mid afternoon on the east.

Thinking of a couple of different times, what did you have in mind as a good scenario time slot? 6-7 EST? later? Trying to get it so the whole day isn't shot by stuffing an event in the middle of it, but not too late so the West Coast is done at a reasonable time but the East is up past midnight.

Also have to keep in mind UK time, and maybe Australia time. It would be good to have to keep in mind Japan time, but I haven't seen Japanese players in a scenario yet.

Yes, please keep in mind the rest of the world

I'm interested too, unless it's in odd hours.

Well it looks great, later start time would be great as well,:aok

"and maybe Australia time" - waddaya mean 'maybe' ?

But seriously - later is better for us down under. 3pm EST = 3am for me. Would be nice to sit down for a scenario AFTER the sun rises.

How about 9am EST, 9pm australian, about 3pm in europe?

ramzey · « **Reply #25 on:** June 17, 2006, 11:54:29 AM »

6am west coast........................ ...

No matter how you look at it, someone is going to be left out. What it really boils down to is who would be more interested in this event, Europeans, or Australians. I would assume that the Australians would be more interested in this scenario, but at the same time I would think there is a larger European player base.
7pm EST, 7am down under, 1am across the pond
4pm EST, 4am down under, 10pm across the pond
