VMF-229, 3rd Division, 2nd Element = HITP Coop Campaign - Dixiecapt - 11.08.2008
Intro
This thread is designed to entertain, and to provide a friend and myself with a record of a Coop Campaign we are enjoying together.
The Campaign: We are playing PhilK's Amazing
Hell in the Pacific Campaign and combined all of the Chapters
(Guam, Peleliu, Iwo Jima &, Okinawa) into one grand-campaign, and then tuned it for Coop Play.
All Credit goes to PhilK for providing us with such a great PTO Campaign!
We have even worked out
Rank Advancement Via Career Points, and a system for
Citations such as the DFC, though we tried to keep this as realistic as possible so citations are rather hard to get!
Little Jon (my buddy) and I will post after action reports probably twice a month as we find the time to get together and play out this campaign.
If you ever had a desire to try and join us just say so here, or Mail:
VBF-12_Scholl@hotmail.com , though we do not keep a regular scheduel, and tend to play into the wee hours of the night!
