Juice here,

1. This is not the S3 of old and cannot be.
2. In my particular case my business has increased and I have even less time
3. The orders in this particular series are very concise and give goals very well.
4. Each of us, as in actual combat, will often have to work on the fly together to get job done.
5. I often (as do many of you) attempt to give suggestions and or orders to "get it going" in early just before frame (I've got some of that time set aside each week)
6. In this case I attempted to aid Darryl DRs with goal that were plain in orders and state that a safe attack on trucks would be good.
7. We (all us fighters) had goals that are basically impossible and we know it, so we cannot add another factor (in this case escort in frame 3) for more impossibility.
8. Each CO did/should have read the frame goals that nooky kindly worked hard on.

So reason is Darryl appears to be saying they are quitting.
This is fine if you wish.

I do not wish it.
But, not only are we dealing with low numbers and complex lives. We also cannot bring all up to date at the last minute.
We do the best we can.
None of it is to harm anyone or any group.
We are doing the best we can to have fun.

The time is rather past for "I'm gonna quit then" being anything positive in concept.
Why, because nobody is trying/doing anything, to do anything, but HAVE FUN IF WE CAN, and it is hard enough already.

No body is doing anything here so either come play with the circumstance and TRUST that all of us are doing the best we can or not.

My Goodness

I believe the majority of us agree with what you said. (S)

I also agree,

Nookyb has been busting his ass to put together some fun scenarios and I believe he has done that well.

DR request for cover in this last frame was placed well after the mission started.
Objective was clear for us: All hands on deck to take out the supply aircraft first.

I hope Darryl's squad does not abandon the S3s. Player manned Bombers are very important to our game plans.
I implore all squad COs to read the orders. Even if they didn't receive the email, objectives and orders were posted on the forum.

If a CO comes into the frame after it has started asking "What's the plan?" He cannot hold other squads responsible when they are carrying out their original objectives.

Just a FYI Darryl and his squad have quit, gone into retirement or left WBs several times during my tenure. Nothing posted or otherwise as very few of the raiders monitor this forum. The more challenging, strategic, tactical or in my case convoluted the series the harder it is to keep everyone happy. Especially if it means doing a bit of homework.
Nookyb deserves credit for trying to challenge everyone and give them options. Taking my ball and going home never got me very far on the school ground even when I thought the referee made a wrong call. Its part of the game. As good ol gums put it "Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you". You still go out in the woods because you enjoy it there with all your woodland friends. Even when they are trying to kill you.
