You should have ALL received your custom orders by now, if not make sure you show up early tomorrow and find me. First off, I've updated all the information on the web page http://www.cutthroats.com/leyte98. Make sure you have the latest information! We're going to play it by ear during Frame 1, and concentrate mostly on defense. This means the TBF groups will go in mostly unescorted. Therefore stealth is highly desireable. Rall will be co-ordinating the attack groups. I will be responsible for the defenders. Yes, I am flying with the TBFs but I will nevertheless be concentrating on defense (don't ask me how :) Do not tell your groups which carrier to take off from until we're all ready to go. Unfortunately, the roster can't be turned off during the scenario so a Japanese pilot looking at the roster at the right time could get info on which carrier's are live. Therefore stay in the BRIEFING carrier and ready there. Hop over to the actual carrier at go time and immediately take off. Make sure your groups understand that. You will have plenty of time to explain everything to your pilots in flight, so don't waste time on this in the briefing. Things you should go over in briefing are: 1. Above regarding launching 2. Proper Takeoff carriers 3. Radio protocol Sorry about the typos in your orders, if something doesn't make sense, show up early tomorrow and ask me. I should be online from 9am PST until go time. Here are the carrier assignments, again DO NOT GIVE THESE OUT TO ANYONE until take off time. ESSEX = 2Kubo HANCOCK = 3Kubo WASP = 5Kubo INTREPID = 6Kubo See y'all tomorrow!
