My only comment is the last sentence of the color paragraph" "It's good points were..." That first word should be "its". The "it" with the apostrophe is the contraction of "it is".

I agree with Toyama. The yellow dots are the danger zones for a pilot chasing an aircraft with a tail gunner. But Toyama explained it with greater detail.

The site looks like it may not be up-to-date, and if it shows you nothing, I would recommend googling "my-town/state gaming convention" or something like that.
As far as Canada goes, hugely out of date.

This list, created by ebonhand in 2012, can be used to find all known available bombers that can be used to play AAAF. BoomerBill copied it, updated it and reduced it to include aircraft that are largely in the range of 1:100 (1:98, 1:103, etc). PM BoomerBill with sources, and I'll add them to the list.
Hot Axis and Allies action today. Got three battles in, Brits vs. Germany and Italy over North Africa, Russia vs Germany and Romania above the eastern front and Australia and Britain vs. Japan in the South Pacific.
But I can't post pics because I don't know how.
It seems to be the same way as in the old Forum: post to your fave photo sharing site (DropBox, PhotoBucket, etc) and pick up the URL version and paste it into your post. It could be that there will be a modernized process revealed to us in the fullness of time...
I migrated my repaints (mostly) from the old Forum, and stuck them all in one thread. As I add more, I'll do separate postings.
Going from most recent, here's a WIP on Malta Spitfires:
There is a lot of discussion in the cyberverse about the Malta "blue" Spitfires. I've seen some versions that are entirely blue (the photo recon units did use blue aircraft), and some that had the lighter colours washed over with various shades of blue or grey. That seemed more reasonable to me, so I went with a couple of Spitfires with European colours moderated for their Mediterranean duty.
Then, back in 2016, was this Bf 110, intended for service in North Africa:
I was surprised to see that the Fairey Fulmar was from 2014. Jeez, has it been that long? It's done up in Fleet Air Arm colours, and could have been on the HMS Ark Royal or the HMS Illustrious, both on their Med duties.
Then, from 2013, I did a couple of Wildcats up as Martlets. The rear Martlet is based on a Fleet Air Arm aircraft flown in the Western Desert in 1941. The front Martlet is modelled after an aircraft flown off the HMS Formidable off Madagascar in 1942.
And lastly, a cople of D.520 Interceptors redone as L'Armee de L'Air: the Vichy air force in Madagascar, Lebanon/Syria and North Africa. The "prisoner stripes" were a pain to do.
Thanks to the ForuMinian repainters, who inspired me to take brush in hand and try repainting myself. It's been a lot of fun. Doing the research and getting the paints "just right" has been very engrossing. I recommend it as a way of extending your interest in the A&A minis.

Ticat1 and I split the cost of a case of Angels 20 boosters and just began our Saturday by splitting the 24 aircraft:

I picked up four 109s of vars. iterations, both Spitfires (repaints in their future), two P-40s (the LL Tomahawk and Flying Tiger) and a 'Stang, along with the Folgore, Wurger and Matimaha.
Ah, booster rush.
