Hi5, Yes it was rather hectic. I see the next mission is bad weather again. Anyway, I had four Ju-88's tasked to fly directly to the same airbase from the reinforcement pool. All were lost. Must be a problem with the topigraphics of the area and will consider the base unserviceable for the forseeabl...

G'day, I think I've fixed my game problems, though will still need to look over a few more things. On checking the stats, I see that the Axis lost a few bombers, one of which was to the Illustrious. Thought this was sunk in previous mission. Guess the British have finally perfected that secret AAA s...

Hi5, Yeah, that sounds okay to me. Am more concerned about getting fuel and replacement aircraft topups into my airfields. I reckon we can continue in the current format for little while as preparations for Operation Herkules take shape. Please note the dates of these reinforcements starting from th...

G'day Ikey, Being a former (and somewhat aloof) member of WTE many many years ago, am curious as to what version of IL2 and settings are used by those still flying these days. Am not really into the squad competition thing and think that fighting at flight or wingman level is much more combat effect...

G'day Ikey, The MC.200 Saetta's and SM.79 Sparviero's are already on the map and in sufficient numbers. These forces are in addition to whats already there. I relented on the G.50 Frecia's, but you'll need to keep an eye on fuel consumption when flying them. They were not noted for their range. The ...

Operation Herkules extension
G'day, I've put together a rough outline of what's required to extend this campaign. Hopefully this should test our application of SEOW to the more technically challenging and complex levels. Please mull this over as a basis to work from. Continuation of the Illustrious Blitz Campaign. Narration. Re...

Thanks Ikey, Have been trying to get information together on this. You'll note by the breakdowns that the Italians were strong on artillery, was one of the better facets of their forces, particularly excellent mortars. You'll also note that the Italian Regia Marina was equipped with a considerable f...

G'day, Yes, I had four flights of three AI Stuka's attacking it with 70% recon. Was rather suprised at that level as the weather has been pretty attrocious for the three missions that we've run so far. Guess its due to the small size of the island and cummulative incremental increases from each reco...

G'day Chap, Nope it isn't off topic. I agree, there have been situations where using an air supply point took advantage of circumstances which many template designers would see as a contravention of the spirit of the campaign. That is why it is always best to build safeguards into SEOW to guard agai...

Hi5, As it's a new map and we've had little experience with the relative setup of the airfields and the unfortunate collisions with Valleta's barrage balloons, I think it only fair that you be compensated for the loss of aircraft in this testing process. Let's write a slight change into the scenario...
