Ah, the wacky land o' chocolate, where, if you run out of airplanes, you and the enemy can just throw rocks at each other from the control towers... and where the ports just SIT THERE AND TAKE IT!...

Three captures, 3 attempts, teutonic efficiency. Thanks to the Bad Boys and the Red Raiders. I like this silly terrrain.

A full house. One capture, 3 attempts. Pretty ugly. Thanks to hamlin for helping out. Starting to dislike this silly terrain.
ASN-020429
hcrana, fubar-, -momo-, humble, doones, tearza.
One capture, 2 attempts. Lots of organized help. Humble scores a Silver Star for 50 career field captures.
SN-020502
hcrana, humble, doones, tearza.
No captures, one attempt. Technical difficulties all over the place. Annoying. This dumbass terrain is really starting to get on my nerves.
ASN-020506
hcrana, fubar-, humble, doones, tearza.
Two captures, 2 attempts. I made the war-winning troop drop. Thanks to dougie, tumamu et al. for helping out.
SN-020509
hcrana, fubar-, -momo-, humble, bluebb, doones, tearza.
A full house. One capture, 3 attempts. I hate this vile and loathsome terrain with every fibre of my being. Habs blow a 3-goal lead and lose to Carolina in O/T. Several pigs are seen to do "missing man" flypast at former site of Montreal Forum.
Our end-of-tour rankings were pretty good, once again. The Ferrets finished up as 14th fighter and 9th bomber squad overall. New guy Tearza is coming into his own as a shit-hot level bomber and formation flying guy. I ranked 31st bomber pilot, Fubar made 93rd, Humble 34th, and Bluebb 82nd. Yours truly ranked 59th fighter pilot, Bluebb ranked 90th, and Doones placed a very respectable 35th. Momo doesn't fly nearly often enough, but (as his mom pointed out to me) the scorepages clearly reveal his shit-hot-ness.
Humble earned a pair Silver Stars for 50 career field captures, and for 2500 career structures destroyed. Guys, please let me know if you win medals... it's a bitch to look them up every time.
We're flying Axis planes in the South Pacific terrain this tour, so get the maps if you ain't got 'em already.
In other news, Blue has met up with an old-time SBD air gunner. See this thread if you'd like to take a really long trip for breakfast.
Also, I got pissed off about all the whining and made this page for the masses. Pass it on.
Finally, Fubar and I got together and tried out WB III again... it still pretty much sucks, but there are glimmers of hope... sooo... upgrade your computers! You know who you are!
