flash Posted September 30, 2022 Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) We have reached the end of the OTT Bold Young Men Campaign so for those interested we will be continuing the early war conflict with a new campaign that has the title of OTT - Edgy Young Men Campaign, which will commence on Nov 1st 2022. This campaign will cover the period January/February/March 1917 in WW1 air combat. I'm happy to provide the full admin for those that play and will be preparing documents/threads to assist us with that. For the info of all Players: There will be four games to each campaign month eg 5th, 10th, 15th, 25th July but we will only play 1 game a month. This means that for the 3 months of the period we will get 12 months of gaming, we also get longer use of some of the kit. This also affects injury times for pilots and crew and there will be breaks in March & August, after each campaign mont to allow people to catch up. As usual, all those that play are expected to provide a scenario (or two) at some point. If you want to join OTT Edgy Young Men campaign please check the rules sticky, particularly you old campaigners as some minor changes will be made permanent. Old campaigners of BYM will continue with their current rosters, your WIA will eventually return to action, your KIA/POW are lost to history. Those who wish to 'change ends' need to tell me so I may reverse or change your rosters. If anyone has any questions this is the place to ask them. The potential pilots (pending notification): Dave (flash) - Bulldog Paul (Tikkifriend) - Bulldog Peter (Teaticket) - Bulldog Pete (Stumptonian) - Eagle John (Vagabond) - Bulldog Paul (ShadowDragon) - Bulldog Barrie (Baz) - Eagle Malachi (Chris) - Eagle Hu Rhu (Gary) - Eagle Mikeemagnus (Mike) - Bulldog Edited October 22, 2022 by flash

ReducedAirFact Posted October 19, 2022 Posted October 19, 2022 A resource that may be of use is the set of random aircraft tables on the Wings of Linen wiki for winter 1917: https://linen.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:Random_Plane_Tables. The German tables are from their Frontbestand data; British and French from unit histories. I wish I had good Italian and A-H usage data, but that is hard to come by.

That's really useful information Daryl, thanks for the link. Dave (Flash) is that link something you could add into the sticky for the future. What do you think? Cheers
mikeemagnus Posted October 22, 2022 Posted October 22, 2022 If you have room for another Bulldog, I'll take on the September 2023 (Week 9 March the 5th) Scenario. Should give me time to think something up. What do you say?
flash Posted October 22, 2022 Author Posted October 22, 2022 I'm sure we can squeeze you back into a billet somewhere, Mike, you might have to bunk with Peter though !
mikeemagnus Posted October 22, 2022 Posted October 22, 2022 might have to bunk with Peter though Steady on there Uncle. I know there's a war on, but there are limits to what a chap will do for his country No disrespect intended, Peter, as I'm sure you'll understand!
