Thanks For Joining, Enjoy if you have any questions feel free to ask this has been a fun group of guys to play with.

Some more important information:

Mandatory House Rules (this makes combining QotS and TfT possible)
Optional Rules These are not mandatory, but can provide more depth to your game if you choose.
Mission Specific Rules These are mission specific, and will be posted into the comments of any mission that they apply.

When you complete the mission, post your After Action Report (AAR) by replying to the Mission thread. Any missions you wish to save, can be done so by copying it into your personal hardstand, after you request a hardstand.

If your mission is hard you may need these links:
Spare Crew Pool to request temporary crew members, when any regular crew need to be hospitalized.
Spare Bomber List when your bomber is still being repaired. (As determined by calculating the Peckham Points)

You can reach the CO either by PM, e-mail [e-mail], or Board Game Geek boardgamegeek.com/user/Limburger59.
