I've looked into the Me 262s vs. Lancs in the past and haven't
found anything worth making a scenario out of. The engagements
featured no escorts and present no challenge.
There is a low-level fight between Ta 152 and Tempests, but it's
not big enough for Wing Leader. I'd still like to look at your
scenario, though.

My justification for adding the Ta 152H is that it was, to my
mind, the ultimate German fighter. It shows the potential the
Germans had, despite the technical hindrances, such as the lack
of strategic materials. In my book it's one of the few true
wunderwaffen and fills a gap in the narrative.

I'll finish it up and get it over to you.

Things still aren't 100% go on Supremacy 2e. GMT want to do it -
the only question is when. First, they want to finish selling
their remaining stock of the first edition. They say they have
1-2 months-worth of stock left. So I have a tenative date of May
for P500, but that's not locked down and could change.
However, that does not stop me planning. I have a solid
direction on this now.
As mentioned elsewhere, please PLEASE keep this under your hat
until I go public on this.

Any chance of adding these two late war Japanese aircraft to the
Late War ADCs? The Aichi B7A or the A7M Reppu? The A6M8 Zero
might be another interesting what if to add as well.

So, by my calculation we will have space for four new scenarios
in the package. This assumes an increase to the scenario book of
12 pages, broken down as follows:
7 pp - Supplement #2 scenarios
1 pp - Changes from first edition page
4 pp - New scenarios
If we keep with our existing ADC plan, this breaks down as
follows:
2 x scenarios on Bomber Command heavies (authored by Lee B-W)
1 x scenario with Ta 152H (either Scott's historical scenario or
LBW's counterfactual)
1 x A-36 scenario (Scott's submitted scenario)

If I get time I'll do it. Prod me at some point in the future
when things are quieter.

I e-mailed you my Ta 152 scenario.

Thanks for that. At first glance it looks good, but I'll put it
on file and prod and poke at it properly when the time comes to
put the Supremacy scenarios together.

So I wanted to confirm that the breakdown of the scenario book
is as follows:
(1) 28 pp old book
(2) 7 pp Supplement #2 scenarios
(3) 1 pp 'changes from first edition' page (same as Victories)
(4) 4 pp new scenarios
This makes for a final 40 pp scenario book.
I now have Scott S's historical scenarios for the A-36 and Ta
152H, which look good, though may need some kicking about. At
some point when I'm free I'll start working up two scenarios
from Caldwell that allow us to use late-model Halifaxes, Lancs
and Mustang IVs.
Note that my current plan gives us 40 new squadron counters to
play with. Two of those are assigned to extra P-51Ds to
deconflict IDs in scenario S20. The rest go to the new
scenarios, but I've no idea yet how many counters those will
absorb. Once I have a better idea I shall poll you on what other
counters we can cram in.
