SoWC:BoB Multisquad Campaign Starting

[salmo]

A pity the battle is scheduled for a Sunday night (European time). This will exclude most pilots in the Oceania timezones as 9pm European time 17th June 2012 (Sunday) is early Monday morning in Australia, New Zealand & east Asia regions. That being said, I have some questions.

1. Will a player who runs out of ammo or fuel be allowed to land & spawn in another plane?
2. Will a player who has a damaged aircraft be allowed to land & get a new undamaged aircraft?
3. I believe that only aircraft XX-A (leader) of a group has access to radar calls, if the leader is killed, does XX-B then have access to radar facilities?

Keep up the good work

The maxiumum time for a mission will be 2 hours. However Most of the action will be wrapped up around the hour mark in most missions.

Looking forward to this, will be interesting to see how Allied planes will do.
If it's too embarrassing, i'll go DCS until a decent patch is out

Six so far from 56 Sqdn. There may be an absentee on first night due to something called a fotball match involving Holland.

Hi Klem, Glad your joining us. At least you or one of your guys needs to register on the SoWC's forum. A link can be found at the bottom of the OP. Yea I know I hate registering on forums too (I had to register twice).

Last time we ran the big one we found it was too prone to failure to use PM's and also far to complicated and time consuming. So we have a forum with a public, Red and Blue area. Each mission has its own section and Squadron leaders have a section where only other SL'ers can reply. Its here you can discuss tactics with other SL'ers. Each mission then has its own section for red and blue for mission planning.

Best hurry aswell becasue both teams are around half full.

EDIT, the red team would be half full if more that one squad had filled in the thread...

No. Think of it like Coop mode from Old IL2.

No he doesnt. Hence its important to stay with the Squadron leader and protect him. ATAG have kindly said they would host comes so it should not be such a problem. However I still have to catch up with Bliss or someone to finalise it.
