From J5 Baumer:

Today, 17:03

Thank you and debrief

Thank you to all the participants for flying in Bloody April III and demonstrating the best this flight sim community can be! A few notes/business:

Final results: will be posted as soon as possible.

Awards: will be posted as soon as possible following results. Please post in the "Awards" area if you flew every mission (or know someone who did) so we can verify via logs.

Video Trailer Contest ($100): Those of you with the know how are encouraged to put together your best video. See the thread for details.

Debrief: Next Saturday and Sunday at 1700 UTC/GMT on J5 teamspeak. Please come with your complaints, suggestions, and hopes for the future.

Thank you much!

My thoughts on this, for what it is worth. Let them know honestly what you thought they did right and did wrong.... Always come with a possible solution not just a complaint. I will mark the Calendar and try to make it.

Thanks to all that flew and took valuable time away from other things to participate!!

Well Done!!!

Week 4 Preliminary Results

http://www.jasta5.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=4077


54 to 27


A Entente butt kicking of Central Powers... Would call it decisive but it is beyond that!

Look for rule changes next year….


Well Done No.42 Squadron

If previous years yielded a tie and a squeaker I would hope there would be different rules. If the results were close to historical I'd say it was a victory for the planners, but it sounds like 2/3 Entente plus the rules this year equals an uneven battle.

All,

I would like to put together a No.42 participation list and actual flights flown for BAlll.

Please PM me the following information.

BAlll Missions flown.

Week (which week your flight was, 1 - 4)
Patrol time (Dawn, Afternoon, or Dusk)
Phase of that week (phase 1 or 2 of that patrol)
Mission type (fighter\scout, recon, bomber, trench mapping)

Any other info that you would like to add. Not a AAR!

Thanks
