[_AH_z5o]

~S~, Zip, I love the mission. It was totly crazy. Those AI's were unbeleaveable, they just wouldnt give up. I loved it. I let my guard down on the way back and BLAM!! I got nealed, but, hey. I didnt see any silk from him and I came down a a really kewl beach that was serving MiTi's and steamed clams. All jokeing aside, it was killer. OH! Hogan, you maybe Purty when you die, but, I just flat sexy when I crash,,, smoken hot tobe exact ; )

S~. Thanks for leading, Zip.  I didn't really do much more than pop onto your channel and let you know what i was seeing on radar.   
 
   Not unusual to be a little nervous first time taking the command duties for a campaign mission. Nice job hanging in there even though you had the ready screen glitch.

Don't beat yourself up about it Zip. I think you did a great job for your first time out as Mission CO! It was said during the debrief, if any Flight had of engaged those bombers, they would have gotten nailed.

As it turned out, your plan cost us a radar station and a few of Hurricanes. It cost the Germans about 3 squadrons of fighter aircraft and lot of their senior (Better) pilots. All in all, I think we came out on top.

I agree Gonzo and BBQ!

The Mission builder (Deal'nDave) threw us a huge sinking curve ball. All in all the game plane worked IMO.

S~ All,

Twist...points look good, however the Sorties and kills don't appear to be updated.  Also, in the AAR sections for mission's 4&5...they are noted as Mission #3 in both.

[_AH_Twisted]

~S~ Dave,

The kills and sorties were missing mission 5, yeah for interruptions  doh. However the AA reports were correct. Not sure why you are seeing what you are seeing. I double checked hitting refresh and I'm not seeing what you are there.

[DealnDave]

S~ All,

Twist the headers are correct listing the missions, however in the actual mission text area for both missions #4 & #5...the text lists mission #3

[_AH_Twisted]

Ah Ok figured it out. Sorry about that. I was comparing the actual report. I didn't see at the top of each report is where you were referring to.

fixed.

~S~

[DealnDave]

S~ All,

I noticed the Eagle Squadron Campaign is not listed on the calender, so I just wanted to remind everyone that Mission #6 is a go.
