It is early 1944, and one of the largest battles of WWII is raging across the Eastern Front.

Gone are the Wehrmacht's quick early gains.  The Red Army has grown gigantic and is taking back vast regions of land.  Now, it is the Germans' turn for desperation.  They are fighting for survival, to keep from being enveloped in the Cherkassy Pocket.

Bf 109's and FW 190's of the mighty Luftwaffe combat La-5's, Yak-9's, and Tu-2's of the surging VVS -- in air-to-air combat, bombing, ground attack, escort, and intercept.

Please join us for this glorious battle.

There will be four frames on the following dates in Special Events 2 arena.  Show-up time is 3 pm Eastern.  Tentative dates are as follows (to be finalized shortly):

    October 30
    November 6
    November 13
    November 20

I sent Perdweeb a list of accurate units. He just has to choose which ones he wants.

Dan, I don't think that I could pass up the opportunity to fly 109's with you. Even if it was an Eastern front set-up, and G-6's.  :t

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.
