AWESOME!

Might it be that we have:
-- ROC as CO of VVS
-- Subway as CO of LW
-- Devil as GL of I/JG 54

!@#$ yeah!

Guys, what do you say?  Can I lock you guys in for that?

It is also looking like we will have the Finns in this one in force.

I can give you confirmation on this by next week, if that's acceptable!

I am envisioning a football-team owner saying, "Let me put some feelers out, see if I can round up a few football players, and I'll let you know next week."  :aok

I volunteer for GL duties on VVS side.  I'm not sure what plane I'd like to sign up for yet, though.  I was thinking P-39's, but Tu-2's and Il-2's have some appeal to me as well.

Da, Komrade!  :aok

And, Ditto!  Which side are you going to be on?  Will it be the Iron Cross or the Red Star?

Here is what will be in "Battle of the Dnieper, Winter '43":
-- Bf 109G-6 Need - I'll take this one.
-- FW 190A-5 Got 3 already - I' have a 4th that is nearly done.
-- FW 190F-8 Need.
-- Ju 88 Have one.
-- La-5 I believe the VVS stopped whitewashing aircraft by this point, or at least stopped painting over the blue and gray scheme.
-- Yak-7b Have one.
-- Yak-9 (maybe) See LA-5
-- P-39Q  Have one
-- Il-2 Have one
-- Tu-2S (perhaps sort of as Pe-2) Going to say Need on this one.
-- Panzer IV H Have one
-- T-34 Have One

Devil, when you say "have one", do you mean it is already in the MA or that you have one to provide if we can put it into the terrain?

For example, I don't see a winter skin in the MA for the P-39Q.  There are winter skins for the P-39D -- can we upload those into a terrain file for use on a P-39Q?

Devil and everyone:

It looks like we'll be using blksea terrain and not blkseaw (assuming AH3 comes out before June).

That means the ground won't be white, so we probably wouldn't use the winter skins.

Terrains need to be converted to AH3, which is a lot of work with only Ghostdancer heroically working on it himself currently.  By June, converted blksea and blkseaw will be available, but because of needing new custom tiles for winter, blkseaw won't have trees at first.
