No Rooster, there was no move. Like I said, if I f'ed it up let me know and I will edit it!

That's ok Space.. not your fault. I am just being a dick I guess. If pilots are needed elsewhere then that is what has to happen. Nobody corrected their flights so that must be where they want to be or feel they need to be.

I was just going with the flow...
Rooster, they are all yours... Damn bad pilots anyways, my attempt to lighten the mood

Awde and will keep the homeland safe from those nasty huns,

S!

OH, one more thing.

Which Entente base has the Spads and which one the Pups?

I'm not sure right now....

Hoping its like I show, think I flew south base with my PUp couple missions back. If not, we'll adjust to where the planes are. Should only take about 5 minutes to fly between those bases so that would be the only difference. Added cost/benefit of our Red and Blue crossing paths and covering more ground, but less on each station.

If my placement is wrong, let me know and I will change whatever is needed, if anything. Be nice to have that feedback couple days ago, but we got what we got.

Easy to correct once we get on TS tonight.

Red Flight - Spads

Blue Flight - Pups

At least this was the way we practiced?

Yeah Red = Spad; no, was talking about planes at the right aerodromes.

If I am anything it is flexible, scout pilots are thin, we can make moves if deemed necessary. Looks like four with Red to cover two separate Green flights, so I don't see how we can make any adjustments as it stands right now. If any more scout pilots show we can place them on defense with Blue flight.. defense is key, JG1 needs to be stopped S!

I do apologize if I seemed a little perturbed, it was looking like I was being dismantled (and as hard as I try to keep my work life at work it can be tough sometimes... bad couple of days)

I do believe Pups are out of the south base Red is out of the north base and Green is out of the west base.

No worries Rooster, I just wasnt keeping good track of who is where except for in Green. Had to ask Flat where the post was that had our roster.

If you need another defensive back let me know. I loves my puppy and wouldn't mind chewin a hole in a sausage packer!

Rooster, boy do I understand the work stuff!!!

ok guys S!
anywaze.... Space, do you want Red to follow the path you layed out on the map and still cover both Gr1 and 2... they are on separate missions. Do we cover if called on? or shall I have two scouts with each flight? Guess I am confused a little.

If you have enough then drop one off, your call sir. If not maybe I do it after recon is finished.

Gr1 and 2 are on the same mission, just spread out a little to cover more ground. As our cover, I would recommend that you stay closer to Gr2 since that is closer to the enemy aeros, and if I get attacked I will head west to draw them to you at a rendezvous between us.

ok Space... we will also spread in pairs to match Greens routes. We will all still be close enough to cover each other. S!

@rooster yeah I just went with the flow, I wasn't sure why I was down in blue but I'm happy to fly wherever!

that's cool Semi... I just wasn't sure what was going on but be that as it may it looks like there will be 4 Red.... You and I... and Hawg and Skeeter. check out Spaces' map and follow the Gr1 and 2 routes, we need to cover both. They are on the same mission but spread out some so we will do the same. I am open to suggestion here so chime in S!

Do you think we should split into 2x2 and have one go with Gr1 and one go with Gr2? I guess we could also slack off in between the two flights a little as a large flight and then wait until we hear a group has contact and come in?

There should be more huns towards the front lines and the aeros, with the map layed out as it is. Their map; their problem. If you want to stay on the west side of that G1/G2 search area that is fine with me. I doubt there will be anyone in their way backfield. Only reason I took that route is that it is long and possibly quite boring. I tend to take the crap missions, but someone has to. OTOH, every once in a while they are very fun. There was this one time with this wonderful old librarian-like lady named Willie from the RAF209...

Space has a valid point... the huns are most likely going to be watching the front lines and pressing forward. If we stay to the west side of Gr routes we may be closer to there defense and if we drop 1 scout down to the bomber base to stir up the hive we may be able to cause some disruption in the sinister plot against the empire whilst we keep 3 up high on defense. we will all still be close enough to react to attacks on Gr flight.

BTW I'm not going to be in until about 5:30 PST I apologize but that's the best I can do.

Obviously don’t engage unless you have a decided advantage, and always remember about those marauding Albatross are just a TS call away.

Mission Motto.

This one's for real! Keep yourself alive and stay smart with short bullets of info on comms.

...and always: remember the mission! No heroics or chasing planes to the mud! Stay high and keep your advantage.

Congrats on a well done mission No.42! I look at the points and it looks like a victory for Entente today!

Well done, gents!

Great job everyone... quite the comeback. s! I only wish I could have stayed involved longer(not my personal best)
Congrats.

S!

WTG guys.
So, we only get one shot at the recon. Is that correct? Or, is that a glitch in the setup?
