Aug 6 Event (1).jpg

Following the huge successes of our last two community events, where we saw full servers of 83 plays battling it out over South East England, and the Isle of Wight, this weekend everyone has been transferred for service in North Africa!

The Team Fusion Simulations Server 3 (TFS Server 3) allows for an expanded, and massive 100 player base.

Intel is that the crack multi national Wimpy squadron, led by the famed Squadron Leader Lord Gray Marlow VC DFC DSO NFI , his chief Navigator Flt Lt Jeepy Compasson and master bomber, Flying Officer Snargle 'SNAFU' McCanuckson, are back from leave and practicing for their next big show - highly likely to be this event! Keep a look out for them.
