Has anyone got a copy if Combat Flight Simulator or something similar, any of the standard missions could work, eg

Bomber Escort - Defend your bombers on the way to an attack
Bomber Attack - Attack Enemy Bombers
Interdiction - Attack an airbase/factory/missile launch site/defense laser
Scramble - Take off from your airbase to defend it
Ground Attack - Attack a moving target, train, convoy

Maybe some kind of 'Behind Enemy Lines' scenario, downed pilot on the run

Speak to BigBadCol, I believe hes the only 'real' combat pilot on the forum (nine campaign medals), and has a wealth of simulation systems. He's presently building a full size 737 cockpit simulator for the Air Cadets, and yes it works!

I think we all need to have a read of this
http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/gam...ers/default.htm

does this alone do the job or do we need to adapt to achieve a set goal?

thats the core of it, we just need to modify things like adding earthshakers etc. remember thats only designed around 40k, we are using super heavies as well. Great find tho, its most of the work to boot ;)

This sounds good, is it just Imperial and Blood pact or can other races join in?

Nice! :)

I quite fancy having a bash at a Tau Air Caste force myself though.

I know it's early days yet but is it just going to be a 40k game with flyers or do you have something else in the works to ensure the inclusion of flyers?

Might be worth coming up with "flyer only" objectives to encourage their use in games or having a set percentage that must be spent on flyers.

Ok bit of an update.
This started as the 'Double Eagle appreciation society' and has snowballed dramatically :) Result!!

The concept now , to be clear, is for the scenario for next years 'Bash' but is to include not only the concept of 'Combined Arms' that is to say the use of lots of 'air' in an apocalypse game but also to link it to games of AI and I suppose we could even link to BFG (if anyone is up for it) and smaller 'standard' 40K or other games. the big change is the welcoming of all the 40K races to the party :blink: (which is what is providing the big challenge).

I need to talk to some of the guys to establish the definitive scale of all this (job for today) as this has spilled over beyond the 'Bash' and once this is done I will publish here as much detail as I can as early as I can.

For now a little teaser I thought I would introduce you (if the technology works) to the battleground. The planet Ammoriss and the Ammoriss system.

Look out for updates on the system and the rapidly deteriorating situation there

Any problems accessing it PM me and I will send it to you

Additional information has been released to lord Militant Jasonius with requests for the raising of an expeditionary force.

Details attached for the attention of Oficers commanding his Majesty's imperial forces. Information is to be considered restricted.

Remember the heretic and the Xeno have ears too....allegidely.



That is all.

Looks like this is getting interesting! :)

An idea from me: Should we have seperate threads for 'Good' and 'Evil' sides, so they can plan their tactics together without the other side hearing? :D

As fro me in this, i will be getting my Chaos Army up to a massive size full of Iron Warriors, some Tratiors and muties and some Daemons. Will have two Baneblades aswell for the game :D I will have aload of Chaos forces on the ground, not too sure about my ability to have flyers yet....

Do we need to have more AA weaponry? I could make some Tratior Air Defenses if needed...
