So you want fair play in the MA...

SW, the only big challenge I can think of at the moment is how are you going to enforce the rules?

From my experiences in scenarios, where the CM's have absolute authority, there are still people trying to find the loopholes and circumvent the rules. Imagine what it would be like in the MA!

Don't get me wrong, I like your idea, but it assumes that everyone would gladly abide by the rules. I just can't see that happening.

I'm not sure it will prove managable during actual combat.   People wont be watching the buffer for instruction being one problem.
     I think the better idea is to run a scenario at least once a week where the ma is completely shut down and all participants must fly the scenario.  This will do 2 things..introduce much of the community to the fun of scenario play and provide the "fairness" ur looking for.  BTW, this fairness idea is kinda squirelly...one of the basics of warfare is to get alot of ur guys concentrated on a lesser number of the other guys and wipe'em out (termed as "mass" in militrary doctrine).  Generally, you can keep ur casualty's down by multiples greater than the increase in friendly troops to nme. There is no "fairness" in war.
     Either way, i prefer the "forced scenario" option...maybe a 90 min or two hour event or so.

Tac, ya need some changes to that map.

The teams need to be of equal range from BOTH others.

The teams will typically hit the closer enemy, in this case the team in the top left.

The team at the bottom and the team top right would typically fight less often.
IMO..

hehe like I said its just a sketch. just adapt it so that the distances are the same then, but leave a HUGE lake in the middle so carrier wars can be carried out. =). Thnx for the feedback though, I wish I could understand the terrain editor
