I normally don't sign up until I've carefully read the rules. 
After a thorough search, I've reached the conclusion that in the absence of any rules being obviously posted, there will just be a guy that says "Let's get it on!" right after the door to the cage is locked.
Given such circumstances I registered immediately.

Hahaha I just sent Redtail a message asking about the write up and noticed the link. I think he just put it up, I swear it wasn't there before  ;)   :rofl
I'm flying Axis, and will probably wait to see what teams are needing an extra body.  Almost smashed the register button where Stampf signed up but then thought, heck he'll have an overflow on that team so I'll wait.

Unfortunately not, adobe provides the most access for most people. I don't have a web site to post the text by itself. A single post has a 10,000 word limit and the write-up grossly exceeds that. Your smart phone should be able to view it if your PC can't.

Ooh Pretty!

I love the plane set.

I am confused as to the time frame though. Why so long? Such a large window (November 43 - June 44) creates problems with aircraft assigned to certain squads. As of September 1944, the only Luftwaffe units left in Italy were I/JG 77 and II/JG 77. So that is why I assume June is the end of the frame, not to mention Rome was captured June 4 which was the objective anyway. I would like to hear your thoughts on this, basically (which month - which month) is the scenario supposed to represent?

As a side note, IV/JG 4 should not be in this event. They were created in October, 1944 and remained in Germany for the entirety of its existence.

Looks FUN!


P.S. Minor Spelling issue: San Seveno on the write up should be San Severo. Happens to everyone.

Not entirely correct.

The same men and the machines were there.  Though they went by the name II./JG 5.

Yep. I am corrected. It was Northern France at the time.

However there were JG 5 members in Italy. 14.(Jabo)/JG 5 moved to Italy in late May of 1944 but were wrapped into II/SG 4 in June. II/SG 4 would leave Italy for the Eastern Front on July 1, 1944.
