That's the point Agile there was no request or discussion , an email was sent 1 hour before mission start when most of us heard for the first time about the email 15 mins before start time when we usually join coms.
here is the email I got
Tonight’s mission is going to be postponed because of a lack of available pilots. I assume there will be people on TS during the mission time, but no official campaign mission tonight. The practice server will be operating.
Goshawk
for a change we had available pilots already to rock .... but that wasn't taken into account .... any way it is what it is ..lame ... on a personal level its not as fun as it used to be for me, and my work schedule has changed so I wouldn't be able to participate much in the future anyway.
I will fly mostly COD to get my flight time in but I feel 1946 is dated, may look into DCS again , BOS they're looking for a new theatre of ops after KUBAN ,hopefully this will bring in more allied aircraft someone mentioned pacific theatre but I think that wishful thinking.
