historical reenactments

[scottak]

On any day that a historical battle occured, we should reenact it in the game. For example: Iwo Jima, we should have a scale fleet to match the invasion one with a complete in-depth defensive system on the island. We can have at it in our own little ways the same battle that happend then. Game play will not change from the standard gamplay in the main maps, although people can have their own amphib. ops on their own or in a group. Same applys for land battles like Kursk or Stalingrad.

We sort of have this already, its called This day in World War 2, pretty fun scenario that goes on for over an hour (or two).

Here's a link to the setups for "This Day in WWII":

The next one is "Siege of Malta" running on Wednesday.

Also, we have scenarios (which are more involved):

Don't forget scenarios!

It's like TDI but on a much larger scale. Events can last up to a month and a half, with usually up to two months of preparation.

The next one is coming up soon!

I have an idea. We should run scenarios!

I like Arlo's suggestion so much, that we are getting right on it and opening registration now.

Arlo, are you flying in it?  Please join us!

It's only one number different from that -- 9th AF.

P-51's, P-47's, P-38's, Spits, Typhoons, Tempests, Mossies, B-26's vs. 109's, 190's, and a small number of 262's and 234's.

Also, everyone gets some lives in tanks once they run out of aircraft lives.

Is this a 'Battle of the Bulge' type event now that HT modeled the Sherman? Define 'some' lives.

Is this a 'Battle of the Bulge' type event now that HT modeled the Sherman? Define 'some' lives. 

It's post Battle of the Bulge (Battle of the Rhine).

On the GV side, it's M4-75, M4-76(W), Sherman Firefly VC, and M-18 vs. Panzer Mk IV H, Panther G, and Tiger I.

Pilots get 2 lives in aircraft and, once those are done, 2 lives in GV's.

People signing up just for GV combat get 4 lives in GV's and two in spotter planes.
