    First Pacific pre-campaign scenario solved.

    Luftwaffe opposition nearly completed.

    On the runway (just requiring pegs) are 1 x Heinkel III, 1 x JU88 and 2 x JU87's. All in 1/144th scale.

    A second Hurricane is awaiting a prop replacement and then the RAF are ready to take to the skies tomorrow.

    This is just a pre-warning. Look like my computer is going terminal. If I drop off the airwaves then that is the reason. I have a laptop backup but that was built before the Ark, Noah's not the Royal before you ask.

    That just about sets us up for the campaign then Neil.
    Having looked at the BoB scenarios, I think that with a bit of tweaking we can fit them into our Malta setup too. Then just add the Malta Specific ones in between.
    Just one question more if I may. How do these fit into real time months for our AARs to be completed?

    Lets go 1/per month as in OTT. A lot of us are engaged in a lot of other games too. OTTFM, OTTEW, ETO, PTO, PBEM, so one a month keeps it OK for me, especially the book keeping end of things.

    We can slot in Med/Norway/Russia scenario's 1 every other month until BoB ends then we can go back to 1 per month.

    Suits me sir suits me.
    I have a lot of work coming up on distributing the Polo shirts presently.
    If we do one BoB with a Malta every other month, I can just fit a BoB translated to Malta in if I find any extra time on the spare month.

    For any of you chaps intending to join me in the Malta campaign, you may find this document of use. I just happened across it whilst searching for registration numbers of Malta hurricanes.

    He was instructed to take some time by High Command after producing the manual for Naval Warfare for WWI and WW2. He has also run the best part of three shows this year already, and done all those ship stats for us. Then done a lot of work on helping to get the new campaign set up, so I guess he had it long overdue. I expect nothing less from my Squadron Leaders. We run a tight ship over here in the U.K. don't you know.

    By "tight" I assume you mean discipline not liquid refreshment.
    I suspect he has compationate leave on account that the Toon Army are in a "Dunkirk" situation and need re enforcements

    Batteries refreshed and recharged. PTO ships will be rolling off the stock before too long in 1/1200 and 1/1800 scales. Flat tops first, followed by cruisers and destroyers. Lastly I'll throw in as many battle wagons as I can. Yamato, Musashi, and a few other Japanese ships are already done, Zuikaku/Shokaku also the Essex class US carrier which can be used for all the Essex class carriers but is late war. Hornet/Yorktown/Enterprise/Lexington/Saratoga wil be amongst the first with Kaga/Akagi/Hiryu/Soryu/Junyo/Ryujo for the Japanese.
