Question for Collin...

Collin,

I was wondering if you could perhaps verify the information in this thread for me.

http://home.freeuk.net/johndillon/air_war.htm#brits%20arrive

With the arrival of the Bf-110c, I am throwing in an update to Hellas. I had previously added Gladiators and Hurricanes, but the addition of Fulmars, Buffaloes, Blenheims, Lysanders, and Swordfish would make the campaign more diverse and interesting.

This campaign also covers the Battle of Crete.

I have some scattered information about Crete. I believe that German types included the Ju-52, Ju-87b, He-111h, Ju-88a-4, Dornier Do-17Zs, and the Bf-110c.

For the British, I believe they had Fulmar Mk. Is from HMS Formidable, as well as Beaufighters, Hurricane Mk. Ia fighters, Gloster Sea Gladiators, Brewster F2A Buffaloes, and both Marylands and Blenheims.

Is there any other information that can be provided? The campaign dates are 20/3/1941 to 5/6/1941.
 
Hi Rami,

Not too sure about the accuracy of the site you wanted me to 'look' over. There are some inconsistencies, but, the Swordfish squadron 815 was operating in that area for a short while.

HMS Formidable did operate in the Med until she was damaged 26th May 41, her air wing at the time was:-

803 sqd Fulmars
826 sqd Albacores
829 sqd Albacores and Swordfish
805 1 flight of Fulmars*
806 sqd Fulmars

* the remainder of the sqd can be seen here-

RJ,

You wanted suggestions for you mag,well here's the perfect thing to put in it.

Explain some of the mistakes that are made when putting in addons for CFS2.I noticed lately alot of people are having this problem.
 
An old friend hath returned...

Good morning,

I just wanted to let your know my absence in CFS2 has officially ended. I've spent the last three-plus months collecting, analyzing, and explaining evidence in writing that I know how to teach to the State. (something I'm required to do every three years now, thank God, rather than EVERY year as a non-tenured teacher)

This document, called a Professional Performance Assessment, was 25 pages in length, but the evidence collected to prove I was proficient at all thirty-three professional standards was some 275 pages, all of which had to be BOTH organized and sent electronically and via mail.

As you can imagine...I didn't have much time for CFS2, or for talking with my friends on Skype. I can't wait to get back into CFS2; shooting down some Jerries or Tommies will be a nice tonic for my burnout!

(I also need to adjust some campaigns to meet Achim's new fields...)
 
PAPERWORK

Isn't beauracracy great? In a computer age and so called "brevity rules" what used to be done in 5 pages now is almost 25x more. I recently also had to do something that, while not as large as 275 pages, used to be able to be filed on a postcard. The same item is now a two page questionaire!!!!!!!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Good for you!

Congratulations Rami!

Although now I am out of the teaching world, I know exactly how you felt and the size of your task. I was not pleased at all to have to prove myself every so often, expecially when I had to do it during my free time, as I was paid only for teaching hours.

It's behind me now, I am sure we'll both spend our Holydays with a sense of satisfaction this year.

HAPPY HOLYDAYS to you, Erica and the kids! :santahat:
:snowman:KH :ernae:

Good afternoon,

I just wanted to pass along that I have completed the airfield modifications and mission adjustments for Gladiators, Hellas, Heinkels!, the Tuskegee Airmen, and Fleet Air Arm. I will be uploading them to SOH and my site over the next couple of days.

Then, I have a BIG decision to make...
 
Glad to have you back.

Is your big decision that your buying the FS/CFS line from MS and making it all freeware? ;)

Good evening,

Several campaigns have been updated to mesh with Achim's new fields here at SOH and my website...here is the list:

Heinkels!
Fleet Air Arm
Gladiators!
Hellas!
 
Any interest in a sequel?

Hey guys,

I've heard a lot of feedback over the years that the Gladiators! campaign ranks amongst your favorites. (And mine!) I was wondering if y'all would have any interest in a sequel. Back when Don Pyers did the original campaign, he also had a "coming soon" section with Hurricanes in the Balkans.

Through my own research, I've looked at the exploits of "Pat" Pattle and Nigel Cullen, and think I can work with the action reports and about three other sources to do some Hurricane missions on the exploits of RAF 33 Squadron, RAF 80 Squadron, and RAF 112 Squadron following RAF 80 Squadron's acquisition of Hurricane Mk. Is in February of 1941. :icon_lol:

My stop point would be the "Battle of Athens," or MAYBE I could expand it to Crete.

If anyone knows of any other good sources for this, please let me know!
 
Interest?

INTEREST?? You must be kidding - my mouth is already filled with saliva - please, please DO make it Rami.:jump:

You can definitely count me as on board with this one. Along the same lines, an early Malta (Sea Gladiators, etc) campaign, would also 'float my boat.'

Good evening,

All right! It looks like I'll be making a list of missions to do, and gathering some sources on this. :salute:
