Thank you, Rich for your welcoming message and your help with the JU-88. And thank you Max for your JU-88 card it was very helpful. I will be posting more after action reports as we play. Should I post our WWI reports here or is there another section for that. Max if you look at the spelling of my german pilot it is German for Max Headroom.
