A Special Thank you....
« on: March 01, 2008, 12:17:41 AM »
I want to extend a very special thank you to the ever growing player base of FSO. This event is taking off in a direction we (the CM's) all knew possible. We owe a lot to our faithful veteran squads and their continued cooperation. Thank you to the new comers as well.

A special congrats to Nefarious on a wonderful event. Attendance numbers were:

Frame One: 324 Players
Frame Two: 360 Players
Frame Three: 355 Players
Grand Total: 1039 Players combined!

Excellent work Nef!

This next week is the off week; Look for squad update requests and the new event to hit early next week!

Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin. - Tim Vine.

Nice turn outs <>


I think the premier of "Battle 360" on the History channel may have had an effect on the numbers this last frame compared to frame II.  :rofl

Well, the FIGHTING 31 (F4U-1A), 880 (F4U-1A), Raw Prawns (TBM), & AK's (TBM) all met at said rally spot & then headed off to our target, meanwhile there were 109's that came to the rally spot too :|, BECAUSE it was near a allied CV, they followed us to our target where we were welcomed w/ open gunfire...


We got ambushed, cause I believe the 109's where informing the rest of the axis that there was a big raid inb.  LUCKY US!!

With adversity comes great opportunity...

Could have split your forces to see if you could have ditched the 109s.

Went into the target from a different direction if time allowed.

Anything else you can think of now in hindsight?

Ignore stupid orders that have us rally over a primary target?

Got it covered SLED...
