[Brooke]

Hello, all! 

Time to pick the June, 2019 Scenario.

Please choose one of the choices below.  Voting will stay open for about two weeks.

Feel free to talk about why you think your choice is best or why some other option is not a good thing to pick.

Once voting is done, though, the choice is made, and it will no longer be the time to talk about how people shouldn't have picked what they picked.

A. Midway.  Carrier battle and attack of Midway.  F4F, SBD, TBM, maybe Brewster vs. Zero, D3A, B5N.

This is tough. I brought the what if scenario to Brooke during the last scenario about Operation Unthinkable. I am 50/50 between A and B. (Midway and Patton's Gambit)

I vote A

Not B because I think the B-26 is going to be a very tough target for most soviet planes. Also if I think about "what if" then Yak 3 does not cross my mind.

Not C because bomber pilots just flew in a Ju-88 and it was in Pantelleria as well and got slaughtered few times in both Scenarios.

Not D because bomber pilots just flew in a Ju-88 and it was in Pantelleria as well and got slaughtered few times in both Scenarios. Ju-88 spots were not easy to fill up in Nuisance raids so I assume Tu-2 would be first choice and it would be difficult to get the Ju-88 filled. Also Brewster seems too slow to be fun here, I think earlier time would be better for that with maybe some planes being available on both sides as a large number of different aircraft were flown including many captured ones.
