There will be a special Easter Sunday mission tomorrow on Ground Zero SEOW at 1900 Zulu (2100 CET, 1500 Eastern) to test plane set and settings for a proposed "Typhoon of Steel" campaign, and everyone is invited to join us in service of the Emperor and the defense of Okinawa. Join us on 69...

It is happening, and will launch in a few minutes... so hurry!

Yes, several pilots flew a practice map yesterday on both our old installation of HSFX 2 patch C, and on HSFX 3.0. There were some initial problems with the HSFX 3.0 server (it ran fine but pilots could not connect!) which we eventually ironed out. The final session on HSFX 3.0 was smooth with pilot...

Friday night Helo and McB joined us for our Ground Zero SEOW double-header, discovering that =69.GIAP=PROMAK hails from the same area, and traded old jokes. I was busy trying to get the server to work correctly, so didn't get to repeat this old one, so here is is now. Apologies to all of you who did...

The fact is, since we've gotten involved in testing Ground Zero SEOW I've stopped agitating for the Khalkhin Gol campaign. The Amerika Wing has been flying nearly every night, which is far more activity that I had planned or expected. :shock: I've sent Hitcher (GZSEOW admin) my Typhoon of Steel (v 1...

Just a quick update to report on (lack of) progress for an Amerika Nite SEOW. I am still looking for an opponent, and have widened the search with a second possible scenario, "Steel Typhoon", the pre-invasion phase of the Battle of Okinawa. Two squadrons, MCVG-2 and Air Group 51 are curren...

=69.GIAP=CZAPKA has published a rule set for the proposed Amerika Nite SEOW campaign, and you can view a copy at http://phpbb.69giap.com/viewtopic.php5?p=7961#7961.

We are still looking for a squad to fulfill the role of opponent.

What's it pay? :lol: Just kidding. Sounds like fun. I wish I could my damn game to go online. :( The pay is high in fame and glory with a bonus in potatoes. Note that the Commander in Chief does not actually have to fly or get involved in detailed mission planning, but does need to make sure that b...

Salute FI! Heads up! There is another SEOW invitation from 69.GIAP Amerika Wing in the works, and it will be announced here shortly, as soon as we get a complete draft of the rule set and cost list. We will propose to fly this in the Friday night time slot that we call "Amerika Nite with the Fi...

Salute :FI:! If any of you are interested, 69.GIAP will be holding its second test of a 64 player co-op server mod on Thursday at 2100 CET == 2000 Zulu == 3 pm EST and you are welcome to join us. We will be using a modified (more aircraft added) mission from the current campaign between 69.GIAP and ...

(Posted as promised to Falcon. This is a reconstruction of the original post made just about one year ago.) Official Version Suspecting enemy infiltration onto our base, I seized the initiative and performed an unscheduled low-level reconnaissance of the area directly to the left of our main runway....

No, that is the 69.GIAP All Star Dance Band recounting the legend of the founding of the GShAP (mud mover) Wing. It always brings a tear to my eye, a dryness to my throat, and an urge to bomb something to smithereens.

In anticipation of a series of matches between The Fightin' Irish and 69.GIAP, the 69.GIAP Marching Band has bought new uniforms and has been practicing a special routine to welcome you. You wouldn't want to disappoint them, now would you?

That was great fun last night! Thanks for the invitation. Now that I know you like coops, I have another suggestion. I have a series of coops which are actually some of the mission files of the longest-running SEOW Campaign I know of... the RAAF 13th Squadron's 1919 campaign. 13_Taipan sent them to ...

My Starshina (=69.GIAP=REDVO) and I will try to be there at 8 pm EST tonight. Is there anything we need to set up beforehand, or can we just show up and take care of the necessities at that point? This all presumes I can do this without disturbing domestic tranquility too much, of course. But that s...
