[Nefarious]

Greetings!

The Side CiCs have been selected for the March 30th Special Event North Sea Raiders

This Saturday after Frame 3 of the current FSO, Registration will open for new squads and everyone will be able to edit there numbers and preferences. In this event, we will allow squads to recruit walkon's and walkon's will be allowed to participate as long as they're within their registered numbers and in registered squad uniform at launch.

Looks like it will be a barn burner! I like the thought process with the what if portion.

Registration doesn't open up till the 17th.

Actually the reg link is only for new squads, if you are already part of an fso squad you are already registered.

Nef:

  This is a great example of a "What if mission".  Kudos to the CM's for this one.  I read the story line twice LOL

  I would really like to see more of this type of thinking and design.  New scenario's like this really make the FSO special.

  Thanks again to the CM crew that went to a lot of hard work so that "I" could have fun 

  And now................... The FSO solid gold dancers!!!

This should be a lot of fun! 

[Nefarious]

Just a reminder to adjust your sides for next weeks event, It closes tomorrow.

Are we held to FSO rules such as commitment?

i.e. If I do not make my minimum commitment do I get yelled at? Or is this purely optional.

[Nefarious]

Please do your best to adjust your numbers accordingly, but no its not mandatory as it is not a regular fso event

Not trying to be a stick in the mud here, but.  I just ran the 109 E and F's vs some squaddies in the F4F, and the 109F is almost untouchable if flown smart at all.  Shouldn't these be limited to say 24, like the brewsters for the allies.  Just a thought.

This plane set was a tough one. The main reason the 109F is not limited is that By December of 1941 the main Luftwaffe fighter from France to Russia was the 109F. The 109E was added and required to make sure there was diversity in the Luftwaffe ranks as there still would be some 109E equipped staffels in Germany.

[Nefarious]

I would also like to add that FSO is a little more than just a few simple dogfights between squaddies. Escorting dive bombers and torpedo planes and defending attacks from all angles and altitudes makes flying a certain plane to its strengths sometimes difficult or even impossible.

Thanks Nefarious,

I understand your reasonings, I just hope it doesn't make it as lopsided as it looks on paper.  We'll have fun either way, and if it goes bad it'll help us work on clearing each others 6's and making a fighting retreat

Brewsters will be more effective vs 109s than you think.
