To be honest, I think 3pm Eastern is the best time to cover most timezones.  12 noon Pacific, 8pm in the UK, 10pm in Finland.  I don't think you could easily deviate far from 3pm without upsetting a lot of people.  This time wasn't arrived at by accident - it has evolved over the years.  :)

found this website while searching for a map of the planned invasion.  This gives A LOT more detail into what was going to be "Operation Downfall"

CC that Eagle, when building the terrain I looked at all kinds of maps for the planned invasion. Also major airfields on the terrain look like they did historically.

What about the Russians? They would have gotten into the taking of at lest some of the Islands west of Japan if not more. Russans I'm sure had a plan for their own interests. Just 2cents of what might have been history.

Been a hectic week so I'll just reply quickly. I would like a 9pmEST frame or two.  I know it's selfish but they were done in AW, WB and ealry on in AH and there were no attendance problems


"I don't think you could easily deviate far from 3pm without upsetting a lot of people.

 At this point in time and current AH player demographics you are probably right. Still, after having missed out on particpating in every scenario for the past 3-4 years because they were held on weekends at mid-day I'm not worried about some being upsate about missing a frame or two for change.  

 Well. good luck. Looks like another fun one and if there is a frame other than 3pmest on a Sat or Sun watch yer six. :)
