Hopefully we can finish up the current campaign on the 8th. I've already got the next one lined out and I'd like to suggest something. How about we devote an ENTIRE gameday to just campaign missions? The way mine lines out it will be a series of 14 games to determine the winner, so we could start at 8 am and run through as many as we can, that way we wouldn't have to worry about players not showing up, etc. It would mean we couldn't play other things of course, but I think the competitive nature of it would make up for that. Now, I don't think we could finish 14 missions in a day, but 7 or 8 would be doable. What say ye?

After five or six games I'm not sure we'll have any real competition left in the campaign. They tend to get pretty uneven over time. And I don't know if we want to fly the same plane for a whole day, either.
But I've never tried it before and I'm willing to give it a shot if everyone else wants to.

Well, it would work like this: Each side has a mix of planes to choose from, and whatever mission was being run would determine that (the lead player on each side picks). So, if in the morning the Allies were running a day bombing mission the Allied players would choose their planes accordingly . The Germans would do the same based on their mission (in this case, fighter patrol). That game would be run and scored, then the next game would be the afternoon mission of the day, where the sides flip flop and the Allies run a fighter sweep while the Germans run a mission (say a photo recon). That game would be played and scored, then the 'next day' would be the third and forth games, mission would be determined and play would be resumed. Each mission type would return a certain amount of points if successful. Lastly, at the end of each 'day', each side would have a chance to repair the planes they had taken up that day, up to a certain limit. This might mean the leader on a side could opt to take up a damaged plane if he felt it was necessary.
The scoring is different, and I don't think you'd see the insanely wild swings of score you have seen in the current campaign.

It is really designed to simulate what a week of real flight ops might have looked like to a squadron....and for those in the Indy Sqdn that strive for realism it might be right up your alley...
;D

So each side would actually run two squadrons each... a two seater squadron and a fighter squadron, right? Could be fun. We'd have to use two separate crews but that's no biggie. I'm for giving it a try.

Hey Stephen, when are my deaders making it to the cemetary? The corpses are getting rather smelly!!!! Probably next issue. Keep me reminded. I get so tied up with the issues that I neglect the cemetery.
