    Pete, those seem like good odds to me. The Bulldogs will need all the advantages they can muster.

    Bring it on........

    Default Your Country Needs You !

    I am still in the process of roster creation - if you want to join the Bulldogs or Eagles then PM me your choice, your pilot & crew names. Notify me which pilot you will fly as.
    (6 fighter pilots (plus 2 observers if using 2 FB5 types) & 2 tandem crews).
    I'm still looking for volunteers for scenarios - have a look in the DYM sticky & let me know.

    Dave I'm moving house early in the new year but if you're ok to cut me a little slack due to youth and inexperience I'll have a go at a scenario in either June or July, you choose, if I don't get too many complaints then I'm happy to do one later in the year as well.

    I will pm names for pilots, just a bit busy at the moment.
    Cheers

    Yes it is, always used to crack me up. Tonto was the name of the dog & he always went to the pub with his master - one night the wife took him for his evening walk & he dragged her straight into the pub ! My sister had a Jack Russell & he reminded me of Tonto, such a character.

    Pilots have been posted to my squadron. Now all I need are a few early war kites to complement the ones I have.

    Question Need some Manoeuvre Decks!

    G'day Chaps.
    I need a couple of XB & G plus one XC decks for the new campaign.
    I can either trade or buy if you can help me out.
    To see what I have to trade take a look at my post in the Buy, Sell or Trade section.

    Fraid I cant help this time Baz. Those decks are like rocking horse to get hold of. I'm even having to share between aircraft myself.

    Baz, (and others) I can send you a scan of each deck if you don't mind printing your own. I gave up trying to find decks I need for all my Shapeways and AIM planes so I just print my own. I put my printed cards in sleeves, works for me. If you'd care to try this out PM me your email address and I'll get the scans to you.

    What Neil said - Recently got hold of a boxed set of "Flight of the Giants" from Germany (fleabay) which has all of the X* decks, and Guntruck let me have his G deck files - so can share via e mail - printing and lamination is the way I go, but sleeves sounds just fine too.

    In response to orders from the Geordie RAF to report to the HQ:Eagles, I will do my best to nail those Bulldogs.

    Of course, being of Italian decent, I reserve the right to switch sides if the Entente looks like it will win.

    So to all those who were interested in aircraft for this campaign from the lend lease library, could you please re PM me with your needs, I have lost track of the responses due to some elves playing with my PM account . . .they have been dealt with, but the requests were scrambled. List the mini(s) you need and I will follow up with photos if you send me your email. All the minis come with pegs for standard if you need cards, bases and pegs let me know as well. Cost on loans is return postage only. Cheers!

    Hi Dave,

    I will give the new campaign a run, after all I surely won't be as busy next year as this year!?!

    I will fly for the Hun again, roster will be forwarded via PM.

    I have a few French birds that need some table time so I will be confining my activities to the Verdun Front and give the jolly Old Bulldogs a break

    Default Proposed modifications to the Medals and Awards tables for the 1916 campaign

    Given this campaign is set in early 1916 perhaps we should consider resetting the Medals and Awards to reflect the number of victories required in those early days of 1916. For example the Blue Max was up until mid 1916 awarded for just eight victories compared to the 16 required in early 1917 and the 20-25 in 1918. For the Germans also there were no wound badges until March 1918, and the Military Merit Cross was not awarded until October 1916, so there are a few less awards Dave has to worry about tracking!

    Proposed modified table for the Imperial German Air Service below:

    KILLS/2 SEATER MISSIONS RANKS AWARDS
    1/1 All Flugzeugführerabzeichen (Pilots Badge - PB) or Beobachterabzeichen (Observers Badge - OB)
    2/3 All Eisernes Kreuz II.Klasse (iron Cross Second Class)
    4/6 All Eisernes Kreuz I.Klasse (Iron Cross First Class)
    5/8 Officers only Ritterkreuz mit Schwertern des Hausordens von Hohenzollern (Knights Cross of the House Order of Hohenzollern with Swords
    8/12 Enlisted only Militär-St.-Heinrichs-Medaille (Military Medal of St Henry)
    8/12 Officers only Ritterkreuz des Militär-St. Heinrichs-Ordens (Knights Cross of the Military Order of St Henry)
    10/15 Officers only Orden Pour le Merite (Blue Max)

    If this is acceptable I can put something similar together for the RFC and the Aéronautique Militaire.
