Resche, and the Set up development groupe he heads has come up with what looks to be a nice divershion from our normal fair in the CT. In the Late 60's El-Salvador and Hondurious had a bit of a spat and they Felded most of the planes show below in a short war with one another, some planes have been added for playabality (B26 for example). This set allows us to use planes withought any restrictions being placed on them in a new and uniuque match up.

P51D,F4U-1D,A20G,B26,C47...All GV's except Tiger.

VS

P47D-30,F4U-4,Mossie,B26,C47...All GV's except Tiger.

No Fleats will be enabled, the Map will be Perdonia, areana seting will be listed in the MOTD.

YUCK. Your kidding right? Both countrys put together had what 12 aircraft total?

Nothing personal Brady, but if thats an interesting diversion. Then somebody farting on your dinner plate is the newest craze sweeping the nation.

In my honest opinion, it gets this... something different, something new that we haven't seen before.

In all truthfulness , it will be fun to fly some planes I never get a chance to Brady. Plus it'll be HAWG HEAVEN for the F4U crowd.

What?! So you don't like a CT setup where the players can outnumber the actual number of combatants that fought the war in real life or that will last longer than the conflict lasted in real life? Eh .... call it "Alternate Reality" (which is really what each and every setup in the Ct is anyhow).

An alternate reality where the OAS didn't exist to end South American wars. An alternate reality where Honduras and El Salvador managed to buy every WWII and Korean War surplus prop plane the Americans had lying around. An alternate reality where countries pissed off at each other over a soccer match (err ... and a few other things) just hopped in their Hogs and Stangs and shot the crap outa each other (well .... ok ... that part ain't so alternate ... except in the scope ... BlOoD oN tHe TrEeS .. bLoOd On ThE SoCcEr BaLL!).

Yeah .... I'd call that a diversion .... a diversion away from anal nitpicking the hell outa this or that historical setup and just having fun .... with a Latin accent.

GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*edit* Oh ... damn ... I see you agree.

To some degree. What most here don't seem to pick up on is that I like to "roleplay" my squadron persona (hmmm ... not terribly unlike the proposed TOD, eh?). So while I think this Honduran-El Salvadorian Hawg-Pony soccer match can be some loose fun ... it won't actually feed the Jolly Rogers over the Pacific hunger in me. I can live with the N1Ks being more numerous that they were in real life .... but I just can't get into the former members of VF-17 in their mid-forties and retired from the Navy buying up some Corsairs in `69 then selling their services to the highest bidder between El Salvador and Honduras thing.

(Thinks)

Hmmmm .... wait a sec ....

I'll be there .. having fun .... as usual.

Allied Vs Allied?

I appreciate the effort for creativity, but this one does not sound good.

Might be a good match, good fights.

But not immersive.

Hehe ... I liked Lowe's objections better. Allied vs. Allied? You're serious? LOL

No .. it's El Salvador vs. Honduras. They weren't WWII "Allies" in 1969. If you think about it, this is probably more immersive than the upcoming "Kadesh" scenario will be.

It's the Hawg-Pony soccer match with blood on the field! It's "Death-Derby 1969" with a Latin beat!

Planes reskinned for this? Or did these two countries fly in U.S. colors/markings?

Nice effort, bradys. But I'll have to take a pass. Have fun, catch ya next week.

So you're saying if Reschke and Brady had hammered out a Honduran terrain and some Honduran and El Salvadorian skins it would have made all the difference to you and you'd be ready to eat this up with a spoon? Somehow I don't believe you.

Wusses all yas. I fly "other people's sandboxes" all the damned time. This one is no different other than ... well hell ... it's different. Sure ... I'd rather see Corsairs in the Pacific flying against enemy planes sporting meatballs ... but hey ... how often do I get that (without all sorts of limits, restrictions and crud for "balance")? I fly all the sets. I see how ya'll are.

*ShruG*

But hey ... to each their own.

Bring it on!

Arlo · « **Reply #10 on:** October 15, 2003, 10:34:52 PM »

Heh! (Arlo throws hands up in disgust and indifference at all the close-minded selfishness exhibited)

Fine ... fine ... be that way.

If there's only a dozen of us flying ... that'll be more immersive. And if Brady pulls the plug on it at the 100 hour mark ... that'll be more immersive too.

I am beginning to think the CTer's are getting a litttttttttle too picky on the setups. I guess late ETO forever is the only thing what will make most peeps happy. This griping on every CT set is getting really old peeps.

I don't know this battle.
I'll be in a well known WWII US fighter, fighting against other well known WWII US fighters.

I think our plane set could be stretched to Korea... But I see them as WWII US fighters (and a Mossie).

It just has a bit too much MA flavoring for me.

eskimo

Arlo · « **Reply #13 on:** October 15, 2003, 10:53:26 PM »

MA flavoring? Just because some skins and the precise S. American terrain hasn't been whipped up yet?

No ... wait .... never mind. I done threw up my hands. And nobody should be forced to fly what they don't like. I hear ya. Catch ya on the flip-flop.

(but If I waited for just the ones that appealed to me .... )

ok ...ok ... I'm done ... no really.

So what your saying is...................... You like the role play aspect of your squadron in the correct theater of war, against the correct enemy. However if somebody else wants it, it's anal nitpicking?

By the way Arlo, your not the only one that plays in other peoples sand boxes. JG-3 has always strapped on the the meatball planes for every slap the jap week. Theres also a lot of us in JG-3 that have held up the bring the F4U banner in PTO's.

Not to mention VF-27 and 880 FAA , both of these squadrons have dropped what they were doing on their squad nights when their aircraft were available to help out the other side when the numbers were way out of whack.

Sheesh come up for air, you havent been playing with a sick skunk, or bat ,or something have you?
