    Default Skype Game Invitation - BoB or Norway 1940

    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:

    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
    Glossary - UTC Coordinated Universal Time - the international basis for other time zones.

    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.

    I'm afraid Sue and I will not be able to play today. She has been commissioned to do an art installation, and the sponsor wants it fairly quickly. I have to respond to a few work related items throughout the day, so I am unable to set aside the necessary uninterrupted block of time.

    We had the pleasure of flying this mission last week. For those of you flying today, good times are ahead.

    Thank you, Mike, for once again putting this together.

    Sue and Eric - big pouty face. I'll miss you, even if the Glorious won't.

    Andy,
    A bit early. Still setting up the scenario. Trying to find a good "Radar Site" for the Stukas to bomb.

    PS: Bf-109s escorting Ju-87s, with Hurricanes and Spitfires defending.

    AAR will be up tonight or tomorrow on this thread: AAR - Skype Game - Battle of Britain, RAF Stn Ventnor

    PS: The Germans did a lot better this time, with three players against one. The Allied support player didn't show up on time.

    All,
    Sorry, no game hosted by me this week, or next.

    I'm off to a family reunion for a week, and may not even have internet!

    Perhaps the 24th, or a day around that date?

    Enjoy yourself Mike. A day or 2 without the Internet could be fun
