During WWII, Ivan Kozhedub flew 326 combat missions, took part in 126 aerial combats, and achieved 62 kills (in them 22 FW 190 and 18 Ju 87). The planes he flew were La-5 FN & La-7 fighters. In 1949, he finished the Zhukovski Military Aviation Academy. In 1956, he graduated from the High Command´s Academy, after which he was promoted to General.

Great history lesson! Great fit for me b/c I *love* the LA-7 too...

Personally, I think Edal's bomber rules are right on point... I think we should give them a try the way he's thought it through before we begin to pressure him about not accepting suggestions just yet... I trust him when he says he's thought it through, and Kozz I think you're taking his rejection of your idea(s) a bit too hard, especially so early into the tourney... let's see how it rolls bro...

*I ask for your opinion on everything, this helps me to consider or keep alternatives in mind.

* I wont change my rules, though, because I would like to at least wait until this first week to really make any changes. (if I see great problems)

* In the case of philabong2 accedental ramming, I wont suspend him (read the rules: player will be demoted or suspended, depending on what the Bomber Player is reporting). The Bomber player may not even report this at all, get it?

* I know I am part of the UK team, you suggest that I only manage the tournament and not participate? If you cant trust be by now then you never will. You think I made the rules after the teams were chosen? I am sorry to hear this if you think that way.

***** To all Participants, I will post first briefings in 1 hour after this message *****
