Thursdays best.
Have you got BoX?
I do BoS and BoM, I can pick up the others if needed!
I think it's possibly not worth getting the TIffy for this campaign, maybe it's on sale and ok I forget what you get with what. That depends on the crew you go to, have you said which you are looking at? That'll affect next phase, essentially we will mostly be on Tempest and Spit 14 (assume RAF) and after that P-51D or Jug. D-9 and K-4 for the LW.
SOmeone else may be able to comment but it really means Battle of Normandy, I think........

Bodenplatte for everything listed there other than the Spit

I'll have to pick up Bodenplatte by the sounds of it in that case which is no biggy. Sadly it's not on sale but I'll pick it up.
I have a bit of a thing for the Tempest and Spit but honestly, I'll go wherever I'm needed. I'm just looking forward to getting back into the seat and flying again.

Just spoke to Ginger and it looks like all the aircraft you're flying currently on Normandy so I'll have to give today a miss since I don't own it. I'll pick up Bodenplatte in the next few weeks (Hoping it goes on sale over Xmas) then I'll be able to join. I'd rather not buy BoN just for 1 day then not get a chance to use it again until another campaign.

What side do you want to fly Geordie?
One important point is you don't need to buy Battle of Normandy ever.
All you need is BOS BOM and BoB with few
Collector Planes. For the next campaign after Christmas you could get the FW190 D9 that's without having to buy Battle of Bodenplatte but if you want to fly Allied then you will have to get it for the plane sets the Allied guys will be flying. Where should be some kind of a sale over Christmas and you could pick up Battle of Bodenplatte very cheap. You should jump on to TS anyway tonight for a chat.
May today be better than yesterday, but, not as good as tomorrow.

Yes but that's a long time down the road. Maybe ever was the wrong word.

A long shot but check your account on IL2 as they often chuck in discount codes to apply which have a date range. Very different from Steam sale, not advertised, but discounts as good.
