Aluminum Overcast II

This [MoM] mission will start a series of new MoM’s for the
Rooks and the Bishops. If you don’t know what MoM Missions
 are, the goal of 'Missions-of-the-Month [MoM]' is to combine
the forces of multiple squadrons and unaffiliated pilots into an
organized, cooperative strike force of such momentous size that
 they become legendary. They are designed to be noticed,
marveled at...and exciting for both the ROOKS and our
adversaries!

◊ Date: April 5th, 2013
◊ Time: 7:30 PM ET (Assembly) → 8:00 PM ET (Missions Posted) → 8:30 PM ET (Launch)
◊ Arena: Late
◊ Aircraft: B-17G, P-47M, P-51D
◊ Vehicles: N/A
◊ Mission Text: Numbered Channel TBA
◊ Mission VOX: Local (restricted) → VOX Channel in Mission Editor
◊ Command VOX: Ventrilo
◊ Target: TBD

B-17 FLYING FORTRESS

The core of this battle is the B-17.  The escorts could only
accompany the bombers a short distance into Germany
before having to turn back to refuel.  This left the B-17's
alone to fend for themselves.  To survive long enough to
return to the umbrella of fighter escort, we need as many
B-17's together in the air as possible so we'll need most pilots
flying in 'Forts.

We need a MAXIMUM EFFORT in B-17's!

Thanks for reading, and tell your friends.  :rock

I may actually be able to attend that.  If I recall correctly, I'll be on vacation during that time.  I sure hope we have a large map up for it. :x  Personally, I am hoping that a Capital will be the target as well. :aok

Missing the strategic missions and historical scenarios gets me fidgeting and wincing uncontrollably while I take my periodic breaks. I'm planning on returning at the first of April to take part in this. Depending on the participating teams, I'll either fly formation with the b-17s...or slash into them with a fw-190.

Easy to get!  www.ventrilo.com/download.php  :D 

Sounds like just my sort of mission but unfortunately I don't think I could stay up long enough to participate.   :bhead

Since it's alternating on only rooks and bish, chances are good...  then again, "everyone knows us knits are full of experten buff killers", logicly they wouldn't risk their hides against the wulf den when they can choose the cherry orchard...  :devil  *polishes his focke-wulf*

hehehe, well I've run theses types of missions before, any enemies that go in the cloud, seem to leave in pieces.   :devil  But im very sure, this will be so much fun. Last time we filled up, over 50 bombers, and almost the same amount of fighter escorts. The map, on that day will determine the target. Ventrillo will be used for commanders of wings, to coordinate.
