S~ All,

I've been working on a mini campaign for the Aleutian Islands.  I plan on running the campaign's 1st mission Sunday night, March 29th, 9:00pm EST.  Also look in the "Veiw Downloads" section for historical skins to be used during the missions.

"Battle for the Aleutian Islands"

The battle is known as the "Forgotten Battle," due to being overshadowed by the simultaneous Guadalcanal campaign.  The campaign was a struggle over the Aleutian Islands, part of Alaska, in the Pacific campaign of World War II.   A small Japanese force occupied the islands of Attu and Kiska, but the remoteness of the islands and the difficulties of weather and terrain meant that it took nearly a year for a large U.S. force to eject them.  The island's strategic value is their ability to control Pacific Great Circle routes.  The Japanese reasoned that control of the Aleutians would prevent a possible U.S. attack across the Northern Pacific. Similarly, the U.S. feared that the islands would be used as bases from which to launch aerial assaults against the West Coast.

Hope to see many of you there,  I have seats 20 Pilots one the 1st mission.

It's meant to be more of a challenge for BBQ this way.

S~ All,

I appoligize for missing in action last night.  I had to deal with some personal issues that arose.  Obviously I have to reschedule the mission.  What I would like to do is run the second mission as a "piggy back" on Wendsday, April 8th, following the BoB mission.  The Bob missions are adveraging about 35-45 minutes, the second part of the "Battle for the Aleutian Islands" will run about the same length.  Both campaigns will have seats for 20+ pilots.

I plan on running the BoB mission at 8:00pm CST (9:00pm EST), then going right in the Aleutian mission.  I hope to see many of you there.

S~ All,

Just a "Bump" to let everyone know about the BoB and Aleutian missions are a go for this evening.  Have seats for 20+ in both missions.  Hope to see many of you there.  S~
