Didn't get a chance as I had to pick the wife up.

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.
See you on the Dark Side......
We'll wait for you Neil.
Hope your computer is fine
Use the oportunity to get a Linux machine

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.

Why not they are supposed to be generic for the most part.
See you on the Dark Side......
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.

"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
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

I will err on the side of caution and say that our beloved CO is good with the discipline.

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.

Perfect Neil, I was looking for a Japanese cruiser to attack with my B-25s.

Good looking bunch of chaps there Rob. Like to meet them in the Mess bar later.

You will Paul. You will.
You have probably already come across them in action over Libya, and on Peter and gingers arrival at Hal Far.

"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Can't wait to see them in action Rob. That Maryland looks great.
See you on the Dark Side......
Looking very nice Rob, hope to see them in action soon.
Two of them have already seen some action here chaps.
