Sucks for them.

Still time for you to make the skins.  Can I expect them Wednesday next week?

You mean,


"Also to take advantage of the changes in the ground combat system HTC is currently testing under BETA, we will be including vehicles as part of the event.

Germans - Mk IV H Panzer, Mk V Panther G, Mk VI Tiger, Mk VI Tiger II, Sdkfz 251, Wirbelwind, Ostwind, Storch.

Allies - M4-75W, M4-76W, Sherman Firefly VC, M-18 Hellcat, M3, M16, Wirbelwind, Storch.


Approximately 20 Allied slots will be available for ground vehicles and approximately 16 German slots will be available for ground vehicles.  Each side will have 2 spotter plane pilot positions airborne at any one time, that they can rotate between players.  Drivers will have 4 lives in vehicles.  Deaths in spotter planes will most likely not count toward this total."


those parts?  :rofl

Depending on job schedule, I will try to be there for a bomber slot.  If need be, I'll fly Rook and wage war on both Allied and Axis!  I'm an equal oppurtunity type of guy. :devil

Honestly, if we had an existing skin(s) that just needed some "winterization" and then they'd be good to go in this scenario, I'd take it up and bang them out in a couple hours.  I wouldn't have time to scratch build one or at least one better than somebody's 4-yo's crayon coloring book.

Edit:  Has anyone made a theatre/scenario-apropriate WW skin (nevermind one besides our default) that has been good/acurate enough to be included in the game?  Every WW scheme I can think of off the top of my head in-game is in NA/Med schemes.  I'd have to start there and with contacting those artists/creators for their permisions/files, and that might take a while to get a responce.

Is this based on the Battle of the Bulge

 Feb '45...definitely wrapping up Battle of Bulge...immersion point: of course you wouldn't have known it in reality...but...you'd have had an idea just from reading a map that the war would be over soon...message of the day: "Stay alive to get home..."

AWESOME.

I have a big project going at work, it should be done by then. I have been the XO many times and helped the CO run things. I would like to be CO of JG/26 this time, if that would be ok with you guys?

Thanks
