Join us to commemorate D-Day, which took place on June 6, 1944.  We'll be running it Sunday, June 6, at 3 pm Eastern Time in Special Events II Arena.  All are welcome -- no prior preparation is needed.  Just show up and join the fun.

It was the largest amphibious invasion of all time, with 5000 allied ships and 175,000 troops attacking the Atlantic Wall of Hitler's Fortress Europe.  They landed on the beaches of Normandy, in sectors codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword.

It's the day of days -- time to paint on your invasion stripes and go hit those beaches.

Information on the setup is here:

Something does not add up in those logs. At least not on the axis side.

Well first of all my own stats.
Only thing showing up in the logs is my first sortie when i hit both CVs good.
 
After that i did 2 or 3 more sorties and hit 1 cv 1 cruiser 1 DD. And I got killed all my Ju88s shot down on second sortie.

If you look at the axis logs they seems to end at 14.40 ish. Just 40 min in to the frame.

So the 31 kills for the axis to the 100+ death for the allied side makes a little more sense then :)

OK, I see that now. Let me try and reload the logs and see if that helps.
