*Rescheduled* ANZAC EVENT!!!!! Sunday, May 14, 2023: 1100 NZST/0900 AEST

Due to problems with the recent 5.036 update and logging into servers, the ANZAC Event has been postponed for a week. Sorry for the inconvenience!

NOTE: This is Polak’s excellent Blitz Over Southampton mission with a few small tweaks to address some suggestions re planesets and spawning. Thanks, Polak!!! 

In honour of our Aussie and Kiwi friends, we are altering the event time significantly to afford them a bit more beauty sleep – which we all know they badly need.

Not for the faint-hearted! Lots of action for both sides. Don’t lollygag about warming up your engines – pull your thumbs out and GO!!!

Location: Team Fusion #3 Server (Changed from previously-announced ATAG Server due to some technical difficulties. Event date/time and mission remain the same).
