Didn't Churchill say something like "Never have so few done so little against so many"

Salute Red Team, Congratulations to the Red Team for their victory in phase A of FiFXXIII. The Saturday fights were generally close and all good fights. I'm looking forward to seeing you on the battlefield for the next phase.

I still vote for cancelling Wednesday after this next mission or at least separate the scores. To continue as we are now means that no matter how well the guys on Saturday perform they can not win due to the deficit of Wednesday. I really feel bad about that and it's not fair for them. I have watched several of the long time blue team players stop showing up to fly during this campaign and some only show up out of sense of duty. "What's the point" is a common phrase. There have been a couple of new to FiF guys this campaign they are all fighter pilots and this is a bomber campaign. We usually don't have enough 2 seater pilots to assign one plane with no escort to each of the five fixed primary targets. I'm amazed at the number of points we have for this session. I definitely don't agree with trying to change teams mid campaign, that will never work out right if done hastily. From what I hear on TS, I have no confidence that Wednesday Blue Team attendance will remain as strong as it has been. Hookers and free liquor may help but that brings up other problems. Sarcasm aside, I'll press ahead to the finish with what I've got and during the BA break the format of FiF will need to be adjusted.

Congratulations to the Red Team for a well fought campaign. The official score keeper called the tournament a tie but you guys did very well on the Entente side. Many congrats for that, it was no small feat. I'm looking forward to meeting up against you in England where hopefully every target won't be by the patch of forest beside the river fork.

Once a week is enough. I have other interest too. If there is enough interest from the European community then by all means run another session 6 hours ealier on the night of their choosing.
