Oleg, will their options for the Hurricane and Spits to carry bombs. I know some did later in the war. It would be fun to make some FMB missions into France for a change from constant bomber intercept missions.

Buster Dee is thinking ahead . . . to next theater of operations.

Unless Oleg jumps into Korea after BOB release. That'd be something you'd be scrolling throug the BOB plane set, then the Korea ones show up in there.

What be funny is if Korea had some Italian planes (just joshing / joking ).

Clickable cockpit should be an option you can turn off.

I mean sometimes my non mouse hand is used to hold apples and my cigar.

The .50 cal threads won't show up until P-47, Wildcats, or P-51's show up and when Tiger Tanks are put in the game.




I got a question, were their American volunteers in the RAF in BOB?

I hope it would be done more like:
You have all installed, when you click on SoW SP icon you get offered choice of theatre:
BoB
Korea
Med (who knows

And each comes up with own interface, music and button style, etc. Like Rowan's BoB and MiG Alley, same but different.

With the right ground objects a Battle of France scenario is also possible.

Would need French aircraft and armour, but that map has way more possibilities than just the BoB.

I always thought it'd be cool to start off with the invasion of Poland, then Norway, and then the low countries and France and so on. Through expansions, SoW could eventually model all the major aerial conflicts of WWII.

Yes,

Very few, because by fighting for another country they lost the citizenship, according to a non-interventionist law. So, only the more enthusiasts arrived. The figures I've read in various books vary from 7 from 17.

The Billy Fiske cited by Wiki, was a famous bobsled champion and jet-set boy, just married when he died in August 1940, being a member of the 601 Sqn, the famous Millionaires Squadron.

In fact, I doubt that very much. I am aware however that you can make all kinds of later scenarios on the engine - but seen the repeated questions of some for stuff like B25's, or the alike I think many do not really know how about the BoB. But for the map: I have the impression it covers just the barely necessary for the BoB (Norvegia not included). Northern France, southern England, especially east southern England (Kent) as seen on the map editor in Mysticpumas vid. Sorry, no golf of Biskaya, No Battle of France. I don't think we get the terrain.

Who knows, apart from the team making the game? Only thing that we can say is that we know it's 1:1 size, so this reduces (but doesn't eliminate) the likelihood that it's huge.
