Still trying to get Dave [clipper1801] into a game...
This is hoping RL doesn't intercede again. If it does, well, it means a bunch of us have a good time, and I get another shot at having a great game with a great bunch of people. HMS Glorious could be on the table, if Dave is with us, otherwise, I'll run a dogfight scenario with Bf-109s vs Hurricanes and Spits. The Ju-87 Stukas can wait for the Glorious, or another day when some radar stations or an air field are available to bomb.
So, the Tentaive timings look like this:
Glossary - UTC Coordinated Universal Time - the international basis for other time zones.
Location Local time Time zone UTC offset Comox (Canada) Friday, 3 July at 10:00 AM PDT UTC-7 hours Surprise (U.S.A. - Arizona) Friday, 3 July at 10:00 AM MST UTC-7 hours Bloomington (U.S.A. - Illinois) Friday, 3 July at 12 Noon CDT UTC-5 hours Akron (U.S.A. - Ohio) Friday, 3 July at 01:00 PM EDT UTC-4 hours Morpeth (UK) Friday, 3 July at 06:00 PM BST UTC+1 hours Talvern (France) Friday, 3 July at 07:00 PM CEST UTC+2 hours Opole/Prague Friday, 3 July at 07:00 PM CEST UTC+2 hours Yokohama (Japan) Saturday, 4 July at 02:00 AM JST UTC+9 hours Toowoomba (Australia) Saturday, 4 July at 03:00 AM AEST UTC+10 hours Corresponding UTC (GMT) Friday, 3 July at 17:00 0:00
If you can make it, please indicate. If a small adjustment in timing might work, we can adjust. Or, we could have spectators? Or throw extra planes in late?
There is a four hour limit on video calls, as we found out last week. However, the disconnect and immediate re-invite reset the counter, so it was all good. Just so you know!
For those wishing to join in, I have checked out the Skype specifications needed to run a multiple video link (Full Info here: What Do I Need To Make a Group Video Call?). I'm not completely sure about this being needed by everyone, but I can (just) meet these minimums (I'm way over the video and memory, but only pretty close to the max 7 person call specs with a CPU at 2.4 GHz)
5-way group video
Minimum Recommended CPU 2GHz Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz Graphics card 64 MB 128 MB Memory 512 MB 1 GB
We ended up going for audio with all the participants and I provided video as, at least, one person was having serious audio issues. That helped a lot, so I'm hoping it was at their end. If not, I need a new laptop. The Financial Advisor is not going to be happy about that expense for my hobby.
