I'm saying that were mossies going to be included in the scenario.

There are no mossies, there never will be.

the 190A5 would fill in for the 190A1

190A1 did not see service over Malta durring Operation Pedestal, so no Fw 190A5, looks like you will have to find another favorite plane.

Just can't drop it can you? I KNOW the mossie won't be in the scenario, hence the "WOULD HAVE" in the stament "...would have filled in for the beaufighter."

Were not going to get either planes, I was looking forward to maybe flying a mosquito, but they have been taken off the plane set. You don't see me complaining about it, you drop it cause were not getting either. My previous post sums it all up.

We should fly 110C's then. I mean, 109s are going to fill up, and who wants to be in a 88? Especially when there is a 110 to fly! Oooh, or a C.202...

Too many choices!  :uhoh

I know, but I feel pity for the Axis with their lesser numbers. Besides, the only Allied fighter of worth is the Boston III.

190s were II/JG2 and were the first 190s in action. They were sent back to France in March 43 after losing 18 aircraft and claiming 150.  II/SG2 had 109F1 and suffered crippling losses during the Allied invasion of Sicily.

As for the Hurri units in the MTO  October 42 order of battle

6.7 SAAF  Hurri IID
73 Squadron Hurri IIC
80, 127, 335 Squadrons Hurri IIB
274 Squadron Hurri IIC
1 SAAF, 33, 213, 238 Squadrons Hurri IIC
40 SAAF, 208 Squadron  Hurri IIB
889 FAA Squadron Hurri IIC
94 Squadron Hurri IIB
417 Squadron Hurri IIB

Ooohhh... a Hurri IID squad!  And I'm assuming off the ball here that the IIBs are the .303 variant of the Hurri II?  Thanks for the II/JG2 info (and your book suggestion Fencer).  I've got enough info to go on here to keep me busy reading in my freetime for the next day or two!   :salute

Yeah Babalonian, the IIB was a mk II variant armed with 12 .303's (about 3 .50's worth of punch for comparision).

GL's have in the past been chosen by the CO's, which aren't in place yet.

The very rough list:
1) Decide on a scenario and setup (they're 'bout done with this part)
2) Decide on tentative dates (probably throwing them around internally right now)
3) Decide/Sucker on some brave country COs (coming up soon)
4) Finalize the setup and rules (still a few weeks in the making and down the road)
5) Open Registration
6) Decide on GLs and pilot/driver assignments.
7) Decide on overall and individual strategies.
8) Beta frame
9) Finalize GLs, pilot assignments and overall and individual strategies for the scenario.


I'm erring twords the axis with the German Iron per usual.  But I'm gonna probably wait to see the plane set and who registers for what first, opting more for the pilots I'll be flying with this scenario rather than the mission or plane we'll be flying.  The 109F is a great plane and one of my favorite 109s... but overall I'm not a huge 109 buff so I might lug around some ord for this one (lord help my team, my dive bombing aim is trash atm).

I'm probably going to sign up for a 109F, seeing as there is no 190's, and brooke cut out the SeaTiger  :cry. But, shockingly, I'm concidering signing up as an '88 in this one.
