proposal: start tour of duty in 1940-08, but not in 1939-09. why? because: 1.there are not enough airplanes to oppose german ones. nor french (br.693, leo.451, amiot.351 or 354), nor netherlands (d.xxi, g.i, t.v), nor polish (pzl11c, pzl23a, pzl37) 1939 in rps looks like game of "golds vs grey" colours. and that is historical: france, netherlands and poland had very few aviation against luftwaffe. most of types were obsolete. 2.on east japan-china and japan-soviets wars do not have airplanes either (i-16type18, sb 2m-103, db-3b, p-36, a5m4, ki-21, ki-30) 3.in winter was we lack blenheim 4, buffalo, do 17, sb, db-3b. 4.modelling early wars in finland, china, europe will force us to make too many mad replacements to make rps suit all playing tasks (fighting, strafing, bombing). 5.first real opposition occasioned on axis stalk was england: in somali vs italy and in metropoly vs germany. that where players can match on equal basis. although, we still miss blenheim 4, maryland, sm.79, mc.200 for africa and wellington for metropoly. 6.specific sujets can be played as scenarios. ___________________________ discussed with ppedott, he cannot object with arguments at once and suggests a more open discussion
Your argumentas are reasonable and well based as usual, but I have a counterproposal: Insted we start IIWW in 01/09/1939 as original proposed I think 10 May 1940. in this period we have more planes to face german planes...D512, Dakotas and hurris mainly...
