We are letting people have a chance to talk to their friends, and giving everyone a chance to see the writeup.  We will give you a few days warning on registration. 

Note that while we don't suggest you wait a month, there will not be the "first come first served" aspect of the last scenario.  You will signup for the position, and requst your unit and who you want to fly with.

You can look at the registration page now to see what the setup is.

:( The 20th FG was hoping to register for the 20th slot and fly together. we have no problem with walkons or other flyers but we'd love to fly as the 20th FG in the scenario. are you saying we will not be able to do this?

No not at all.  But there is no guarrantee of anyone getting any unit.  OBVIOUSLY the COs will be VERY encouraged to put people who fly "historical" units into those same units in the scenario.  But if there are 24 people, all friends, who all want to fly as the 357th FG, well there are only 16 slots.

As per the rules boss its only 18 planes:

1st Bombardment Division                                  
91st    Bomb Group qty 9 B-17G
303rd  Bomb Group qty 9 B-17G

   
Its only 18 guys...the 91'st could easily register that many...AND per the rules:

Bomb Divisions (or Groups of 18 or less bombers) must maintain a minimum of 1 keypad (1/3 sector) separation from adjacent formations of the same or smaller size. A maximum of 18 piloted bomber formations may be grouped in one formation of bombers.

Same as it ever was Boss...when the 91'st turns out on a strong night...

This is so YOU !...Try it on for size...


Colonel Thunder Egg
Commanding Officer, 1st Bombardment Division
Combined Operations Commander 91'stBG (H) / 303'rdBG (H)
8'th Army Air Force

God that looks great !

 :D :D :D

Disclaimer: only the CO of the side gets to decide who is in charge of a "Wing"...so this all in fun


Actually, on second thought.. Division Command might be fine. I will not go any further than that simply because I do not trust my Qwest DSL service.

Yep. I was kind of curious as to why everyone was using those nifty avatars and proclaiming there rides already.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

This scenario looks like something I could get into.

Five frames shorter than the former Air Warrior events but still "worthy". :)

I'm hoping my R.L schedule will allow me to sign on for one of the B-17 rides.

  =GB=


Heh!  What about Longbow?  18 frames.  :)

Guys, there should be no reason that squadrons in the game cannot fly their own units.  There are plenty of other units in this event for people who don't have a "historical" squadron name to choose from.

When I did DGS I was able to get about 99% of the people into the units they wanted and to fly with those they wanted too.
