Here are some suggestions for folks involved in Historic Encounters to consider. Suggestions are always welcomed!

I can tweak the plane/model provided it is historically correct.

The Midway could be land and/or carrier (Palau is strictly carrier). Likely we would use radio (but no navigation) to assist us over the sea.

Normandy 1941 is obviously an earlier version of our usual Normandy fun. Bf-109s instead of FW-190s for the main enemy flight.

Kursk is always a blast and features the famous IL-2 for our ground attacks. Additional bases have been recently added by Paul.

...ente, Tactical!

You know I kinda like the Il-2, anyway.

I will need to start working on the next campaign soon. So please cast your votes by tomorrow mates. FYI my choice based on the poll so far is to try the Palau campaign.

TS!

... give my vote ... I´d rather fly some Hellcats ...

Of course you certainly may Genosse! You have become a fairly regular participant of H.E. despite the time zone difference.

Now guys a little birdie did express both his willingness to try Palau and his reservations. Remember that we must both takeoff and LAND each mission, right? None of this, "Don't bother waiting for me guys, as I have deliberately flown so far from the carriers that I can't possible botch my landing and lose all my points." And no I'm not thinking about Snoopy as I write this.

I would be lying if I said I was looking forward to the carrier landings (and losing my points too). As a group we struggled in the Okinawa campaign with our landings. Yet they are what makes the Pacific theatre so interesting.

But in the end for me flying in H.E. is primarily for the enjoyment of the company, and the opportunity to try and improve on the different aspects that this simulation offers. Notwithstanding, maybe someone will vote for Kursk before tomorrow and we can delay our tour in the Pacific. [-o<

Tact - "willing to die in any campaign" - S!

I have to say that I really enjoy the challenge of carrier landings. Go Palau!

Should the Pacific win, what will the attack aircraft be? The Hellcat can carry bombs and rockets, so it can do both roles, but didn't know if we'd have a sister plane for skin potential?

Well it's Tuesday mates and to my surprise Kursk has taken the lead. Been thinking about Palau and now I need to switch my thinking to the Eastern theatre.

Ok the La-5FN is a fine aircraft. Should be an exciting campaign. For folks wanting some Pacific action, I will roll one out so we can practice until we vote for our next Grand Campaign in a few weeks.

Noter - La-5FN and IL-2 Type 3M will be needed for custom skins. I will get back to you with any specifics or changes later today.

TS!
