I know creative writing is not a common talent, but I wonder if we might get some different-- and useful-- titles for some of the scenarios, if only so we get a glimmer of what they are about when scrolling over the place and the "title" pops up.

I am referring particularly to the series called "Nine to mortal men" parts 1 thru infinity, which even includes some ten plane scenarios. Perhaps this was something that made sense at one time but I've been here over a year and it's never made sense to me.

While I'm not saying that a scenario has to try and completely describe the action, at least a distinctive name (like Xmas Chainsaw) is memorable. Having 10 or 12 versions with the same name is not memorable-- at least, not for me.

The "campaign" list is also something of an ID struggle, but there is at least a pattern to the series that I can make out. "Nine to mortal men" totally eludes me, both as to pattern and as to what the reference itself is to.

Any ideas?

Remember, this site is maintained by individuals from different areas. FWIW, the nine to mortal men was an Italian movie from what I understood. In fact, it may not have had anything to do with WWI air combat if I remember correctly.

I am also intrigued with the background to the "Nine to mortal men" scenarios. I had assumed that the name came from Lord of the Rings (nine rings of power given to mortal men.)

If anyone knows for sure, please post.
