Any thought being given to running the 12hr Battle of Britain event this year?

Seems like "The Hardest Day". already have been designed and run successfully would be something that could run each year in the Fall since August/September was really the prime time of the real Battle of Britain.

Always seems to draw a good crowd.  Fun to fly either side.

August 18th is a Saturday this year after all, and that is the date considered "The Hardest Day"

Just sayin'

I’d love to fly another spit if this makes another run

I like the idea of this too but...I just think it's too soon...And with nef being out...The CMs are gonna have to figure out how to handle one of these...

+1 on 12 hour scenario of some sort

That time of year, people can make four Saturdays. 12 hour events should be ran in the summer with the other 2-3  being 4 frames.

I can't speak for others but there is no way I can sit in a chair
for 12 hrs

The 12 hr scenarios are broken up into three 4 hour missions or four 3 hour missions...So sitting in for the entire 12 hours is up to the player...You can pick which missions you can sit in on...

August 18th is still summer I thought.  It ran on the 17th of August last time

Summer doesn't end until late September, so you are right there. However, there is a difference between June and late August. I still believe 4 Saturdays is easier to make in September than June. Then again, this scenario in June averaged nearly 65 players per frame. So, maybe I am wrong.

I think we're talking past each other.  Go figure  

I was just thinking it appropriate if it could be run, to fly the thing again on the 18th as was it's historical date in 1940.  B of B tends to draw decent, and as you said, numbers aren't good.  Spits and 109s tend to appeal to folks.  The notion of "The Hardest Day" fits well with a one day 12 hour event in my mind.

IMO it's not enough time...

Both of my 12 hour scenarios were announced months ahead of time.

The Hardest Day was announced in April, ran in August. Target for Today recruiting started in January, publicly announced in early March and ran in late May.
