We are pleased to annouce the first Scenario of 2011.
Before we go into all the details we would like to bring to your attention a few things which are different about this event than previous scenarios.
1. This scenario will be ran on Saturday Evenings, US Time. Arena closes at 9:30pm Eastern for final briefing. Launch will be at 10:00pm Eastern. The scenario will be 3 hours long and have a 30 minute disengagement phase like normal.
2. This scenario will be 7 total frames. We will have a coordination frame using the "Frame 2" settings for each side to iron out any problems in their command/control and communication. We will then take a week break for final planning and then run the next 6 frames back to back.
3. This scenario is written around the ability for the player to immerse themselves in history. As such alot of extras are being provided with more to follow as we proceed. Also some requirements have been added to aid in that.
4. The Battle Over Germany General Forum which both sides have access too will be a public forum again. All participants, whether registered or not, in that forum are still required to follow forum rules.
5. There will be no rule changes. We are human, so there might be some typos and an error we have missed, but the rules you see are final baring any such being found.
We hope you enjoy this scenario.
This is the classic fight of the 8th Air Force versus the Luftwaffe. Experience the air war over Germany in six historical missions ranging from February 1944 to April 1945. Be a member of the unit of your choice.
Use the planes they did for each mission and see how the battle over Germany evolved. Fight the dynmaic fight against the opposition as both you and they evolve in strategy and equipment.
Experience the most indepth and historical scenario to date. Fly over a beautiful recreation of the actual terrain with cities, airbases and targets researched and accurately located.
Refer to recon photos of the targets and bomb the actual targets which were attacked 70+ years ago. File after action reports like the pilots at the time did using historically correct forms.
Research into the dozens of historical links provided and learn about the people who flew the planes and those on the ground on both sides. Pick your unit and your plane with 1796 different
aircraft identification tags to choose from. Find and name your B-17 or B-24 after an historical plane and learn about the men who flew her. Choose which Staffel you want to be a member of in your Gruppen.
Join up and fight the last 14 months of the war in the skies over Germany.
Aircraft in this scenario include for the Axis the Bf-109G2, Bf-109G6, Bf-109G14, Bf-109K4, Me-262, Me-163, Me-110G, Fw-190A8, Fw-190D9, Ta-152H. For the Allies the P-47D11, P-47D25, P-47M, P-38J, P-51B, P-51D, B-17G, B-24J. Rather than fly a single plane type in this event, you will join a historical unit and fly the planes they did for each day. See the Order of Battle in the writeup for a clear picture of who has what aircraft.
This scenario will be 7 total frames and for the first time will be ran during the evening on Saturday (US Time) rather than in the afternoon.
