Sorry about not getting this posted quicker, but social commitments took precedence this weekend. If you are still interested, we could try out the monster bomber run. The below timings are a suggestion for three who have volunteered to play a scenario (Ritterton, Skafloc, and Doug), and other time zones will be considered:
Glossary - UTC Coordinated Universal Time - the international basis for other time zones.
Location Local time Time zone UTC offset Chicago (USA) Saturday, 8 June at 03:00 PM CDT UTC-5 hours Comox (Canada) Saturday, 8 June at 01:00 PM PDT UTC-7 hours Toowoomba (Australia) Sunday, 9 June at 6:00 AM AEST UTC+10 hours Morpeth (UK) Saturday, 8 June at 09:00 PM BST UTC+1 hours Opole (Poland) Saturday, 8 June at 10:00 PM CEST UTC+2 hours Corresponding UTC (GMT) Saturday, 8 June at 20:00 0:00
Same time as for GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and Zulu time.
Note that United Kingdom is not on GMT during summer.
It will be almost the same as the practice run (Slay the Leviathan - Solo Trial), but 3 escort Albatrii will be included (they will not be regenerated). Camels, SPADs, and Nieuports (16s with rockets, and 17s) are being considered. Also, I have considered the front cannons on the bomber as being Becker 20mm auto-cannons, able to fire up to three times in a row, before needing to reload. And with two cannons in the nose, and a two range-ruler range, that means four C Damage cards per shot on single planes that get close enough to shoot the bomber head on.
As of Thursday, 12:15 AM UTC: Confirmed - One from Illinois, One from Louisiana (plus a partner at one location), one from Australia; Tentative - One player from Poland.
Regrets: One from France; One from UK; One from Washington
Note: I have potentially four guests that expressed interest in playing, but with up to nine available slots, it means people could join to observe, if there is room. Please add your name and your desire to watch, and if I don't get all nine player slots filled, I will start down the list of observers with invites.
Mike :-)
