Lets get on the ball, #11 is waiting the results :harumph:

Uhhhh, If he wants to let us live another day, it's ok by me.

Chicken ROFL

Okay, Planes 11 through 20, buckle up! I'm here for the evening and we'll finish out Mission 1!

We've got volunteers lined up. We'll make a new thread at the end of Mission 1 to assign them to planes. Good luck with the newbies.

F*** the newbies. My plane is about to take off. Good luck to me!!

That's actually pretty normal. I don't know what the hit rate is right now, but I would (unscientifically) guess that over time both the Americans and the Germans should average about a 25-35 percent hit rate. Maybe it's just a bit low starting out.

WooHoo, about time!! I'm able, willing and ready to go!! Now watch, I'll be the first dead.

Hey Rain Man, make sure my name is on the volunteers list!!

GOOD LUCK DARTGOD!!

And to me also. :toast:

I'm piloting the crate he's in. :D

Very cool! The Maiden voyage of Deep Red is coming later tonight, we shall come together, we shall tear apart their defenses, penetrate deep into the red zone, our munitions shall pound mercilessly. They shall scream and quiver and well not be left wanting!

Why do you think we have to wich him luck :D
