Your country Bishlandia is being attacked on two fronts. The small band of pilots that still remain: The Bishwaffe are made up of a mixed bunch of a few experten and many "kids" with a mere few hours of flight time.
the rooksians are on full offensive on the eastern front and advancing towards the city borders.
the Knights have long since beat back the bishop offensive: "Operation Baby Seal" in the epic Battle of Knitland.
your task is to save the bishop homeland from total destruction and stave off the massive overwhelming onslaughts being carried out by the knights and rooks that has descimated our oil refineries, factories and cities.
The situation is grim and the odds are against you. command and control has been smashed and all radar stations have been destroyed.
all but 2 airfields and one vehicle field have been overrun by marauding enemy aircraft and vehicles.
yet even as the Bishop empire is at its knees the Allied pact between the Rooks and Knits has began to come apart due to repeated incursions by each country on their commrades fields thus causing friction and clashes as the knights and rooks battle over who controls captured bishop territory.
chaos reigns
yet the Bishwaffe fights on to the bitter end

-----------------------------------
this in a nutshell is the normal condition in the MA.
I don't really care if it stays that way or not but it sure is challenging flying for the Bishop's compared to flying knight or Rook. and I for one like the pucker factor of slashing my way through a sky full of red Icons
