Need a name for my next release. No rush on this yet but . . . My second Watch Your Six!! release (WWI aircraft game) will focus on the period beginning with the Kaiserschlagt (German spring offensive 19189) and continue through the end of the war. It will focus primarily on the shift of flying from the "classical" WWI air war to the focus on attacking ground targets and ground support missions that grew out of the Kaiserschlagt. Subject matter will focus primarily on the Brits and forces in opposition to the Brits in France/Belgium. No Americans, No Bombers, No Naval Aviation and probably no French in this release -- these are all slated for later releases. I want to stay away from the names of books so . . . No "Black September" or other such things. There has to be a great name for this -- just need a little inspiration. Many thanks! mjc |

| Martin Rapier | 20 Jun 2008 4:02 p.m. PST |
Yes. The twenty minuters, though prob not appropriate for 1918. |

Checking the sources (*), it should have truely been "Twenty Minuters" and not "Twenty Minute Men". My bad. * = link Griefbringer |

"Attack by Paralyzation" – the name of Fuller's paper from early 1918 which lead to the development of Plan 1919. |

Far the best title so far. Appropriate to the RFC of the period (who would have said "trench strafing", not "ground attack"), suitably warry sounding, and not as far as I know a title yet used anywhere else. All the best, John. |

I like the sound of 'Out of the Sun'. ANother one that I heard was 'Death Spiral'. |
