I'm glad you're enjoying it, Ink! I wrote that mission specifically for use with my grandsons, and it's very satisfying knowing that you are able to use it in a similar fashion. All four of my grandsons have become quite good at Aces High, and will soon be pestering their dads for subscriptions, I hope.... Most of my missions are historically based, but all of the ones with "Mix" in the name (PacMix, EuroMix, DesertMix, RabaulMix, etc.) are not. Those are designed with training in mind, allowing choice of a wide variety of (non-historic) plane choices on both sides.
