Hey Ikey, One of the features I am most interested in exploring is the capability of the Seaplane Tender , and the future consideration of what might be improved with it. Do remember that it can only take off maximum 2 flights ( why I don't know) and the second flight will not take off if each aircr...

Yes Ikey , You are correct , I have the same issue with the RXIII/Alf Mutt. I'll post over at 242 Sqdn , but it'll be awhile before anyone gets on it. What do you want to do as an alternative? I would like to ensure that the Japanese have a recon Flying boat/float plane. A couple of alternatives are...

I am happy to say that Task Force 8 is nearly ready to go. Halsey (4Shades) is already steaming for Taroa with malice. Brandle has removed himself as the Japanese Commander , by committing Seppuku for mysterious reasons, and has been replaced by Admirals Inoue ( Ikey) and Goto (Scannon). Historical ...

Alright.
I am distributing the OOBs for Red and Blue sides to set up their templates.

Currently the sides are :
Red 4Shades , Kopfdorfer

Blue Brandle , Ikey


Others are welcome.
Let me know.


Kopfdorfer

Hey 4Shades , I thought of that , but really my f*% up allowed me a reason to go through the process one more time in an accelerated environment - AND to allow me to separate the red and the blue templates , allowing me to try to execute a successful template merger. I have them ready to go - I thin...

Hey Guys, Well , I never said I wasn't new at this and by accident I flushed all the work on the campaign the other night. On the bright side, the templates ( yes I am going to have the Blue and Red Sides exercise their own set ups and do a template merge) are ready to go, and I hope to get a Red Co...

Hey Letka, I apologize for the vagueness of my scheduling. Yes I am in AST (Halifax , NS , Canada). I believe that puts you + 5 hrs ahead of me. I'll do my best to try and have some mission starts at appropriate times for you , but please understand that as this is a learning campaign for me , I wil...

I am going to try for tomorrow ( Saturday 6 July ) at 1000hrs Atlantic Time. If this works for you please drop by. Mods enabled (in JSGME) are : HSFX History Mod Expert Mode Even if this doesn't fly due t o a technical issue - which I had a couple of times during my first Test Campaign , we can at l...

Hey Everyone, If all goes well , we will launch this campaign this coming weekend , Friday the 4th or Saturday the 5th Atlantic Time. Probable times will be evening Friday 4th or morning Saturday 5th July. As the campaign is set up , I am looking for a volunteer to plot a couple of missions for one ...

Hey Letka , Thanks for replying. Because I am just learning how to build campaigns I have not been making a hard schedule for the missions , rather just showing up at SEOW HQ , usually over the weekend , and flying with whoever is there once the missions have been plotted by the commanders. Anyone i...

I am well along on planning the next mini-campaign , the USS Enterprise Task Force Raids on the Marshall Islands on Feb 2 , 1942. With a few tweaks with 4Shades assistance this campaign should be underway soon. I'm looking for a few good campaigners. Do you want to hone your carrier deck landings an...
