    Dave contacted me this morning (JST) and let me know it was on route across the pacific, I will send out patrols to intercept her so we can bring her in to the Yokohama landing pylons safely, although that might be in 10 days time.

    In the meantime I will send out Andre to bomb that bloody Depo!

    Exclamation Slight mod to BRF "New Wings -----" !

    G'day All!
    Following Brians AAR & flash's comments I have introduced a small mod to the BRF rules as the intention always was for the outcome to be decided by a Dogfight & the ground fire just a reflection of what actually did happen & not for it to be the deciding factor!

    Anyway once a Dogfight has been joined the trenches will only be able to fire at an enemy aircraft that is further than one ruler length away from their own planes due to the chance of hitting the wrong target.

    The BRF has been altered & flash will adjust the "Sticky".

    Good move Baz.
    I will bear that in mind when I fly my scenario.

    Will try my best but we've had reports of 'Veteran' AA units on the Belgium coast!

    The Squadron had a delivery of the new Fokker D.1 so we are hoping it will give us a slight advantage.

    Sorry, I got rid of the in-training AA unit. Looking forward to see how the Fokker DI does. Some are on the way to my Aerodrome.

    Just had a family day in Canturbury for son's graduation from Kent Uni at the cathedral, he now has his masters in computer science (will never beat him at Star Wars now!). Great day wandering about taking in the city and its 14th century architecture. Apparently I'm going back for shopping before Christmas !

    Hi folks still off line , its 6 weeks now and I am going slightly mad, not only with France Telecom but the fact I cannot communicate with the rest of the world. Playing the missions but I will have to transfer everything to a USB stick and then travel 20 miles to find a computer and connection.

    Apolgies to Neil and Mike for not being around for Skype games but will be back soon (I hope)

    That's just ridiculous Paul.
    Don't you have some sort of indemnity clause in your contract with your supplier?

    As far as I know, if such thing happened in Finland, Paul could have sued the state for violating his constitutional "right to internet"
    Really sorry to hear about his problems...

    Unfortunately I only have 2hours for my game slot. To make the best of the zeppelin game I would need 3. So the choice of game is Tarantino. Night mission, headlights, torpedoes and ships.

    Probably both Paul. I know mine is, and the months are, and the time it takes to empty a bottle of Gin.
