the matches on xbox are usually a little sporadic.our historic matches may not be very accurate.sometimes the only way to keep enough guys in a lobby we have to compromize with the real and arcade guys.fri. and sat.we were playing mk2 vs f4 in strike map dogfights.

So that we can get the ball rolling may I suggest we pencil in something for this coming Saturday 26th at 10pm GMT. I'll post more details within the social club once we formulate the plan but suggest we keep it simple and use one of the previous mission outlines as a starter eg 1940 BoB H3's/109's vs MkII Spits and Hurri's. That way the more experienced guys can impart their knowledge.
Anyone who wishes to join post here and we'll add you into the social group.

I totally second that Gilly.
This weekend it seemed like the Plague had hit both the BoP-skies and the forum. I couldn't spot a single pilot in the horizon, neither on saturday or sunday.

Let's see what this week can bring along.

Daylight? student? I thought the two were diametrically opposed!!!!
I would have thought nightime would have suited you better!
The reason for evenings is so the guys across the pond can fit in with the schedule although if it does get off the ground, as McQs mentioned Sunday afternoons are a possibility.

Haha! Thats those University goers! Students (at AS/A level) Actuallygo out during the day! (when not playing BoP )

True! But if there are earlier times and mid week get together, then do let me know!

Having discussed with McQ we're going to do a dry run on Saturday at 10pm GMT using the Kent map.
Plan is as follows:
16 player lobby set up to 1940,
10 german aircraft- 6xH3's, 3x109's,
6 British aircraft- hurri's, spit mkII's,
German aircraft to make their way to manston and form up in a holding pattern,
British aircraft to make their way to Hawkinge and form up ready for scramble,
At defined time between the two 'leaders' game will begin,
Target for german bombers is the cathedral at Canterbury,
British aircraft will attempt to intercept and prevent bombing from occurring,
Only one life per person with KIA's returning to their home base upon being downed.
Once bomb run has finished german bombers will then attempt to make it back to french coastline.

German objectives: bomb cathedral and return safely to french coastline
British objectives: shoot down enemy force at any stage during game

As stated this is a dry run to orientate players with the game as no map will be allowed to be used during the actual game and you will therefore need to get a grip on landmarks.
Headsets are a must as communication will be of vital importance.

I'll happily command the german bomber force having previously done this. I'll need a flight leader for the 109's though of there are any volunteers. Similarly the British force will require a similar wing commander.
Liason between forces will be via these leaders to commence the game.
Ideally we'd like those wanting to take part to state their intention here along with a preference of aircraft they wish to fly. Please state a 1st and 2nd choice in the event it becomes over subscribed.

Sign up is via the social group, send me or McQ a PM if you wish to join.

Here's to Saturday!

P.S.: A word on the Social Groups. I'm not quite sure how to use them best because they're actually not visible for everyone. I think our community needs every bit of impulse (such as yours), which in my opinion is most effective when happening in public. Perhaps the Social group could be used to draw up plans which are then made public on the forum? Edal and I used PSN messages, email and forum messages for planning and organising. I realize now we could have done much of it as a social group. Just my two cents.
