See above.

Is it a one life per frame event?

At this time yes.  When some CO's come forward we would like to open a discussion with them and figure most of the details out together.  During this discussion I suppose things could change.

When you kill a plane, is that plane removed from the enemy's inventory or will they start with a fresh set of planes next frame?

Again, at this time no.  If the fighters at Henderson are all wiped out and were not replaced for the beginning of frame 2 then Henderson is basically lost.  However, this is something we have not set in stone.....


I sure like the scheme we've been using in Niemen.

Me too!

A. 1 Life per frame as a pilot - dead pilots can GUN a bopmber or man Ship Guns ( we have to test the Ship guns to make sure they are not to vs attacking planes ).

B. Not attrition for this scenario. Since there was a limited amount of planes available ( For the US )  if it goes bad for one side they could end up with fewer planes that pilots ! We have come up with other ways to take plane losses into consideration.

C. If we had a larger plane set to choose from we could force grps that lose a lot of planes into a less capable plane - but that is not possible at this time.

I think with the spacing of the forces - CV vs CV Battles, Fleet to Fleet battles, Air to Fleet battles, Air to Ground battles there will be a lot action going on that dead pilots can partake in the frame till the end if they so choose to hang around after they die.

I like the way this one seems to be shaping up. I am pretty sure you could count on VF-17 to take part in it and hopefully in CV op's. ;)

The US CO will be picking who wil lbe the GROUP LEADERS for the US Squadrons under his command.

Once he is selected you need to suck up to him to get the Primo GL spot !
