Squadron Alert! War negotiations!

[JG26_Badger]

S!:

We are currently involved in some top level war negotiations with a number of squadrons to have a SEOW online war. At present we have contacted both the 1.JaVA squadron (Netherlands), PA Squadron (French), and a other squadrons and pilots from the online community. This war would be based on Operation Fall Gelb, Battle of France 1940 and would be run as a SEOW campaign.
Requirements for participation:

IL2 1946 modded to Ultr@pack 2.01n / HSFX
France skin pack (will be provided)
(updated) France Map (will be provided)
Campaign start date: May 10, 1940

Settings:
Full Switch difficulty (speedbar enabled optional) + SEOW supply production, recon, etc and other options enabled

Mission Schedule: Missions would be run at minimum 2 times per week, (120 minutes). In hopefully 3 time zones European, North American, and Australian. Results and web stats will be updated so the campaign will be continuous.

Basic Overview of Scenario

Two teams of Human pilots (Red) = Allies & (Blue) = Germans. Allies will have either an overall Supreme commander ( Maurice Gamelin) or preferably an allied command team.

Allied Command Team: Each nation represented (French, British, Belgians, Netherlands) would have two commanders one for air operations and one for ground operations. These commanders would be responsible for plotting the ground and air tasks for the missions based on the overall team strategy or strategic objectives of the team. The commanders would be required to rotate so that all participants get a chance to plot both an air and ground task.

Axis Command Team: German High command will have an overall commander Walther von Brauchitsch and two commanders each for Army Groups B, and Army Groups A air and ground operations. Again each participant would be required to rotate and get an opportunity to both ground and air tasks.


Disposition of forces will be based on set Order of Battle for France 1940.

Victory Requirements:
Axis capture and hold for 2 turns 3 of 4 key cities or towns along the coast to represent Dunkirk pocket by May 27, 1940 (ex Abbeville, Boulogne, Ostend or Lille,) while already Rotterdam, Liege, Sedan,Antwerp, and Brussels.

Thanks for the heads up Badger....

Is this a call to arms... or simply an inquiry to define the interest?

I'm interested...at the moment however I am in the middle of moving and cannot take part right away... I need another week or two to sort things out on the home front.

I'll take on any fighter or jabo roll....if were hard-pressed I can bomb with the He-111 as well.

S~:

It is a call to arms, presently we are setting up all the particulars but I anticipate us starting in the within the next 2 weeks. Looks like the best times for the 1.Java squadron will be both Saturday and Sundays at 2100GMT. That would be 3:00pm EST and 2:00PM CST. Since it is a JG26 sponsored event we need to get all members involved. We need to help facilitate things like bunker access, calendars, help participants with various information etc. Can anyone drop on TS tonite for a brief squad meeting say 9:30 PM?

Sound like a great SEOW. I cannot make any day missions on weekends. Both my kids are in sports on the weekends.
