If enough people do not sign up for the ground war maybe the ground war part should be dropped.

That isn't really feasible in this design. Though this scenario was an inch away from being completely cancelled to due low numbers as it was.

When I'm told to report for GV duty after the first sortie, it sure feels like I'm being forced. I shouldn't have to use the quite button when I still have a life in planes.

Like most things it's a balancing act to try and give the largest number of people the best chance to have a good time.  I don't tank much in MA's, I will occasionally for a change of pace but it's not what got me to sign up for Aces High, nor what keeps me coming back for more.  To me Scenario's are a chance to do something different than the MA's (a little ironic because I'm flying 38's this time I know) some of my best scenario memories are flying B-25's with Beefcake, I also had a great time flying 109G6's in the last scenario even though I don't have the slightest idea how they work or really want to spend a lot of time in them when I'm flying in the MA.  It's new, it's a challenge, sometimes I think people (and I'm not speaking of anyone specific here) just need to get out of the way and let themselves try and enjoy the experience, I've often been surprised how often I've found something fun that I didn't think I'd like at first.   Trying to hold a bridge in one of the previous frames, or stalking Panzers, Tigers, and Panthers (or being stalked in turn) through the streets yesterday was a lot of fun.

I had the pleasure to view the tank battle from the air last night. It was very similar to the footage of the tank battle in downtown Cologne.

I got splattered the first couple frames, but overall I'm having fun... aside from the huge delay in the ground war starting. Imho, if the ground war started at frame start it might encourage the fights to remain lower, particularly if all the bombing was tactical in nature. That is my only complaint, which isn't too bad at all.

Prior to this scenario, the K4 was one of my least favorite aircraft.  I couldn't turn it with the Spits, couldn't outrun Ponies at alt,  and the gun just lobs out taters so it's difficult to shoot accurately. Now, I'm really liking it and can actually hit something occasionally.  Point is, the scenarios allow you to do something different than grind it out in the MA. 

The GV battle last night was a bloody knife fight.  We slugged it out for a while!  I've heard a lot of people say it was the funnest GV battle they ever had.  I have to agree.  <S> Allies...till next week.

Not sure it wasn't even the ground war part...there were entire squads and groups that had 1 or 2 people in it. In previous scenarios, there were people fighting over spots, and being reserves.

That GV battle in the city was intense, I got there in the first wave, parked up and sat for an hour for 2 kills, the intense part was hearing enemy tanks passing behind my hidey-hole, and having to look both ways at all times.

It wasn't fast and furious action, but the pressure was on the whole time, I really enjoyed it!

Salute

I'm done with the GV scenarios the Axis tanks are impossible to beat, I will watch from above in the future

This is what I based the frame's tank fight on.

Why, you never play in the ones you want added.

so many people are missing the point as of why i went axis... (though corky completely understood as much as he LOVESSSS rubbing it in my face! )

as i have stated make the tiger allied and the M-18 axis and you'd have seen me zip through those streets in my baby

I don't know what is scarier, the fact I saw the resemblance or the fact I might think like Fencer does.

That is lunacy! The best chance the Allies had was in the city; at the ranges the combat was taking place, the Axis armor and gun advantage was neutralized. The speed the Sherman's had to move around city blocks should of helped them flank the campers.

What didn't help was the city ack, as it kept friendly tank spotters away and it was closer to the Luftwaffe than the Allied airfields.
