Just a heads-up. I'd love to see your Ta-152 scenario, but be
aware that scenarios involving the Ta 152H, the Lacaster and
late-model Halifax may be kept aside for a future reprint of
Supremacy. I have no idea when that will be, but that's the
ideal place for them.

I had figured as much.

I’m very interested in a scenario on Operation Arcturus, the
massed raids on the besieged port and base at Liepaja, Kurland,
in late 44. Looks like there was a lot of flak, and defences
included Fw 190s. It looks like an excuse to have Pe-2s and
A-20G torpedo bombers.
There was a raid on 30 October that features IL-2s, followed up
by 30 Pe-2s and 8 A-20Gs with torps, escorted by 43 Yak-9s. The
Fws seem to have knocked down 9 Peshkas and 2 Bostons, but
transports with a combined displacement of around 16,000 tonnes
were sunk.

I found a interesting potential scenario involving a large Malta
strike against the Italian "Lambado Convoy" in September of
1942. The strike force was 13 Beaufort torpedo bombers and
another 16 Beaufighters, six armed with bombs. The convoy had 4
merchant vessels and 9 escorts with air cover of 6 Ju 88C
fighters as well as some Italian "Macchis" - probably older
MC.200s or G.50s as the two types were often confused. Of
course that would mean a new Beaufighter ADC and an updated Ju
88 card(or maybe just a scenario special rule for the C model).

By all means assemble the scenario. I don't wish to offer any
guarantees at this point.

I've begun work on new scenarios today. I'm trying to get ideas
down on paper.
The first scenario is Kursk - the early Soviet counterattack on
the northern shoulder. It's an excuse to have Soviet A-20s and
an unusual rule reflecting the disadvantage the Soviets operated
at by insisting on close bomber escort.
The second scenario is Operation Arcturus. We have a massive
Soviet raid with huge escort opposed by large numbers of
Focke-Wulfs. Again, we can use A-20s (G-models this time) and
involves torpedo attacks on transports that are dead in the
water. I think this is novel enough to work. (Note: novel or
strange situations are good, if we can find them.)
I'm now casting through Bergström looking for a second Kursk
scenario, though one with the Germans on the attack this time.

As a general rule, when formulating new scenarios it's good to
try and bring something new to the table, in addition to any
unusual aircraft.

I've just uploaded to the Falcons folder on dropbox three
scenarios I pieced together today. Two are on Kursk and one on
the Courland Pocket.
Interestingly, the first is kinda-sorta a remake/reboot of the
supplemental scenario S29 (they are on a similar action), though
now it's much bigger and features aircraft from Victories.

I've now updated my file with a draft of the raid on Ceylon
scenario.

Okay, so I had a burst of enthusiasm today and decided to rattle
through some candidate scenarios for Falcons. I’ve posted up
four so far.
In the coming weeks I’ll try to add to that. I want to get those
scenarios that are dear to my heart out of my system before I
start processing other people’s submissions.
Next up on my to-do list:
(1) US versus Bulgarians, Nov/Dec 43.
(2) Some kind of Hungarian scenario set on the Eastern Front.
