Thanks for adding the Mud Pig - one of the squadrons in From The Ashes flies them.

Any chance of doing a WC1 version next?

Don't forget Douglas Adams, who had a planet that ate other planets.

Granita sounds better for it.

I've got a suggestion - Ametistgrad ('Amethyst City').

This is truly great stuff. Keep it up!

Please see above - I'd hate to have to close this.

As you may know, I run Wing Commander: From The Ashes, which features a carrier called TCS Phoenix, on Phoenix Roleplaying. For our club's newsletter, I've written a two-page article on the real USN WW2 ship. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/109478868/Phoenix_newsletter_07-08_2013.pdf...

It's not the only carrier to operate that way - nearly all the non-US carriers launch off ramps instead of via catapult.

Interesting article and part of a great series. Surprised you didn't mention the fourth Sevastopol; that also had an interesting career. Also worth noting that aircraft from Ark Royal deterred a Guatemalan invasion of Belize in 1972 by sending a pair of Buccaneer bombers to fly over the...

Great stuff. More please!

I won't be able to make it tonight, but I am sure that the whole of Phoenix Roleplaying will extend you a Happy Crystal Anniversary!

Please note to any players reading this that I'd like you to check in.

Problem is that I have church on a Sunday morning... so I can't stay up that late.

I'm British - will there be anything geared to European players in terms of time zone?

I wouldn't imagine every gunner was an officer - most crew on WW2 craft were enlisted.

Yep, definitely a clear homage.

Another point - Angel is not French, she's Belgian.

Now at 7 players, but we're always looking for more!

Do you have a .pdf link that doesn't require you to register with Lulu?
