Vote for the June, 2018 scenario
« on: March 23, 2018, 05:21:27 PM »
Voting time!

Please pick one.

Ditto is very much hoping that people will pick Choice A, as that one is his baby.  It sounds like great fun!

Choice A
Fjord Fury
It is late 1944/early 1945, and the British are using Lancasters and Tallboy bombs to go after u-boat pens, bridges, viaducts, and various other strategic targets (maybe including Tirpitz, Lutzow, and Prinz Eugen, if we can get a map mod).
Action:  fighter combat, intercept, escort, strategic bombing.
Estimated plane sets:
RAF:  Mustang IV (P-51D), Spit 14, Tempest, Lancaster
LW:  109K-4, 190D-9, Ta 152, (and if the German side wants some, 190A, 109G with gondolas, Bf 110G, and/or Me 410)
4 frames.

Choice B
Nuisance Raids
1942, RAF and Luftwaffe trading blows across the Channel following Battle of Britain.
Action:  fighter combat, attack, tactical bombing.
Estimated planes sets:
Luftwaffe: Bf109F-4, Bf109G-2, Fw190A-5, Bf110C4-B, JU88A-4
RAF: Spitfire V, Spitfire IX, Hurricane IIb, Typhoon Ib, Mosquito 16
(Maybe add Hurri IIb and Mossie->Boston -- not sure yet)
4 frames.

Choice C
Pantelleria
Battle for Pantelleria (near Malta).
Action:  fighter combat, tactical bombing, antishipping.
Estimated plane sets:
Luftwaffe: C205, BF109G-2, BF109G-6, FW190A-5, JU88A-4
USAAF: Spitfire V, Spitfire IX, P-40F, P-38G, B-26B
(Maybe add c202 and b-25 -- not sure yet.)
4 frames.

My 2 cents would be to wait until fall for the next scenario and really plan it out. Get COs and really hammer out plane sets and missions for the sides along with scoring system.

Summer months are difficult on Saturday afternoons USA. I would say wait until September. That being said, Pantelleria (with 190A-5's) would be my vote.

Summer time its gonna be impossible to commit 4 frames for me. I was hoping on a 12 hour event there.  But A sounds like allot of fun.

Choice “C”. As a 12hr event. In the early fall (Septemberish).

"B", as a 12 hr event (due to difficulty in getting 4 Saturdays in a row open during the summer).

"A" sounds intriguing but I think it should have the details hammered out first - having the German capital ships anchored in fjords is critical to me for this type of setting so I can't vote for it on a "maybe/if we get a map mod" - it has to be 'in' and tested first.   Also, the Royal Navy was operating F4Us from the HMS Victorious and had used them to provide air cover for attacks on the Tirpitz; that might be a great aircraft to include.   Might help the design appeal to even more players.

B or C and I concur with a 12 hour event in the fall.  I can get my whole squad involved throughout the day. :aok

They all sound like fun to me, maybe a slight preference for A.  I also like Oboe's idea about adding in F4u, and have a slight preference for the 12 hour format.  Basically, I'm easy, always enjoy scenarios and will participate when I can.
