Laz, thnx for the definition of "furball". After having played only 4 years, I had no actual idea what I was refering too(rolls eyes).
Now would you be so kind as to define "redundant".

As for "admiring" the horde-  Nothing admirable to me about taking undefended bases, except maybe in a small NOE raid or somthing of similar challenge. But for 20-50 guys to just string from undefended-base to undefended-base, coming in at high alts in mostly spits & la7s(excellent fighters after dropping ord) escorting gunned formations.yatta yatta blah blah, its boring to type, let alone do------

I guess I miss the days when people werent so afraid to have their pixels shredded.  Anton is right, its the perfect MA map, a giant furball surrounded by hordes.

aclown.. redundant means ...

"re•dun•dant    (ri dun‚dƒnt)  adj.1. characterized by verbosity or unnecessary repetition in expressing ideas. 2. exceeding what is usual or necessary: a redundant part. 3. superabundant or superfluous: lush, redundant vegetation. 4.  (of a system, equipment, etc.) supplied as a backup, as in a spacecraft. 5.  (of language or a linguistic feature) characterized by redundancy; predictable. "

I don't know why yoiu wanted it but there it is.   No one likes hordes except the people in em which seem to be quite a few.   It could be argued that "playing the game the way it is meant to be" would be just that... Hordes... Missunz doodz  all hitting undefended bases and porking fuel and killing toolsheds... Is not this behavior rewarded with points and perks?  If the object is to win then timid behavior is "playing the game the way it was intended"  or ... is now intended.

The other maps with their ultra vulnerable fuel and CV's are much worse... last night it seemed that about 3/4 of the rooks would swarm one base after another and if a CV got close they would kill it.   All fast planes and all come in at alt and run away if anything resembling a fair fight looked like it might develop..  

This is the new strat.   At least with festers map some of the worst strat features are partialy nulified.

Hear, Hear Lazs.  Last night was a great example of Rookiness in the extreme.  The Hordes overrunning the map with sheer numbers.  Where's the fun in that.  It can't be very challenging.

[lazs2]

I believe that is the beauty of festers maps... he circumvents the strat that is gamey and silly like the fuel thing...

Think about it... the ease of which fuel is porked to 25% and no lower, is simply an incentive to fly peeee 51's and go..... pork fuel.   you can't dogfite in a peee 51 and you can't catch a peee 51 in anything that isn't late war fast... the strat is designed to ruin gameplay.  for a large number of players...

fester figured out a way to get around it and allow more people to participate.  

fester proved what I have been saying all along.... that, given a choice... people will have fun.   The enemies of fun and sky accountants are ever vigilant tho.

Great map.  My only complaint... I didn't get to fly on it that often.  Thanks Fester!

Yeah, the AA at the center island sure jumped up and bit me.  Has a pretty good hit on the old SA.  Twist and turn a few times then BLAMO, "what the hell was that.  Crap, the ground is shooting at me".

I liked it .

...I don't go in for the furball because my SA is bad enough but the multible layers to the fighting at furball island had the feeling of a real battlefield danger in the air but get too low, and you'll eat AAA. Watch out in a GV or death might strike from above, but those enemy aircraft do not have free reign.

All in All Fester the map is fantastic. Effort well appreciated.

Map made the most fun I have had in AH! It gives the everyone a chance to play the game the way they want to play it.  

So why is it that when someone playes in a way that another person doesnt like...ie. Low Bombers, Ack, Furball, Strat...    they are called a Dweeb....seems to me we are all dweebs...

Fester!!
