The Tunisian scenario was great. :aok

Overall, Id give it 4.5:

It was my first GL position, and the Allies had some GREAT leaders. I enjoyed the immersion brought by Kermit and Co. 
Look foward to it being runned again.

the immediate 1st 3 scenarios that comes to mind that I remember participating in are

Coral Sea 2005 - +5   ( only scenario I was ever involved in that someone awarded me a medal or flying cross.... )

DGS - +5   ( think this is the one where The Damned and the Flying Circus/56th FG decided to join up forces in all upcoming scenarios )

Coral Sea 2009 - +5   ( the formation flying and excellent radio comms truly shined in this scenario..... )

I cannot be certian of any others I might of participated in whether it was fully registered or I was just a walkon........without going and looking at the logs..... most times I was just a walk on in most of them, due to real life scheduling conflicts.....although I very rarely am disappointed participating in any scenario......

sincerely appreciate all the hard work the AH CM Staff / Scenario CM Staff and all the CO's / XO's / GL's put in to make these events happen......
Thank You very much  :salute

I was asked to rate Coral Sea in an email I just received.  Hmmmmm...

I'll give it a +3

The historical atmosphere was great, but some things that trouble me are:
  • It is far easier to succeed with the F4F than the A6M2.  The same goes for the SBD/Val and TBM/Kate.
  • Radar also makes the Allied side kind of "easy-mode" compared to INJ
  • The Ki-67 is very fast and climbs well at 27k ft

Coral Sea 2009  +5

The camaraderie was excellent and memorable.  The communications and orders were excellent and fun to execute.  The immersion factor was high and a true appreciation of tactics on both sides of the war were experienced.  I learned, experienced and was entertained.


Edit:
I've never seen a more beautiful map, ever.

Just got the email to rate Coral Sea.
First, I have to say I had a lot of fun flying the event. If I was rating it purely on the fun I had I'd give it a high rating but that was more due to the folks I was playing with than the event as it was designed and run. I don't think that would actually be an accurate assessment of the event. IMO there are two fundamental flaws with the Coral Sea event design: first, the entire second half of the event (the invasion) can be removed from the event by an allied victory in the first frame; second, the Battle of the Coral Sea itself is too limited in scope by itself to provide playability over multiple frames.
If this event is run again I'd like to suggest that some serious thought go into redesigning the event so that either the invasion portion of it cannot be removed from play in the first frame; or, some additional context be added to the event by changing the event to a non-side switching event and adding a single frame based on the battle of Midway with the results of the Coral Sea fight affecting the available carriers for each side in the midway fight or adding whatever extra single or dual frame battle would seem to be the next logical battle for the event.

Overall I don't think this event deserves more than a +1 or +2, and that is based solely on the fun people have flying events with a good crowd.

Cheers,

I know that some folks had unpleasantness in CoralSea'09, but me, personally, in my little corner of the war, I was having a frakking BLAST!

Not only was I kept busy (either engaging enemy or making sure I had the gas to get home!) but I had several of those immersive moments that you just LIVE for in scenarios, and it was truly memorable!
