Since HTC claims that the "GV falls through terrain" bug is finally squashed (and evidence bears this out), who's up for an un-official ground-war special event in the AHII beta arena? This would be a "Battle of the Bulge" scenario, with one side taking Pnzr-Ivs (Allies), and the other side with a mix of Pnzr-IVs and Tigers (Germans). Each side would also get a number of M-3s to act as scouts. This would be a one-life event, except that killed players would be allowed to join other player's crews as gunners. The goal would be for the German side to occupy Bastogne (the town at A1). This means to have all the town's guns down and to get at least one vehicle to within 25 yards of the map room at the center of the town. No aircraft would be allowed, to simulate the weather front that prevented Allied air power's participation in the battle. One other rule: drivers and crews may not exit from their tank or M-3 until it is completely destroyed (blown up). This simulates the effect of artillery on the crew's reluctance to leave a damaged vehicle.
Event day and time is 1900 EST on Saturday, 13 March. For more info, please go to the “Aces High II: Tour of Duty” forum and see the post, “So, we ready for that AH2 GV Event”. Post here or there if you’re interested in participating (need two people to CO, btw). There is no sign up; it’s a walk-on event.
