Then I fully expect you to be surprised.

I'm surprisingly expectant that you'll be full.

If some of you got more examples about which army colleges, think-tanks use TOAW for educational purpose etc. and who would like to train their 'Flak-Truppen' or AAA troops, I am sure they'd like an update, too.

Some time ago I stumbled across a thesis-like piece from a Major Willmuth.

Ah, a serviceman. Good for you. I spent two years in Berlin ... when it had a little wall around it. The Army was kind enough to pay for my ticket. ;) I worked at the famous/infamous Teufelsberg.

Even with drop-tanks I couldn't fly from Cyprus to Scotland with a Bf-110C ;)
I need a change of scenery; before my flight to the US I'll be in London for a few
days and hope I can manage to meet the 'Surrey' lads, incl. Ben Turner. Me and sPzAbt653
will organize a meeting of the east coast lads who dwell in the region of MD/WV/PA/DC/VA.

Tally-ho!

A Bf-110 might come in handy policing this thread too. With that in mind, it might seem we need new mods for the TOAW area, given absence of existing ones- RT and JAMiAM.

Herr Oberst- you might do well to consider using a LW Blohm & Voss Bv 138 given current weather conditions ;-). Hals- und Beinbruch!

It can happen. When do you leave again?

Fort Belvoir, Va. I checked the website and it isn't scheduled to open until 2015.

Until TOAW is fixed ... (in reply to Sekadegas, post below : by "fix" I mean the need of next patch, TOAW isn't of course broken)

what do you think of Decisive Action or Point of Attack 2 ? could it replace TOAW ?

TOAW isn't broken. It can be and should be upgraded but it can be played taking a lot of pleasure from it.

I do. Everyday.

One more reason to step up the campaign! I need more signatures to reach the magic 500!
