Good luck gents. I will not be home from work yet.

Friday the 28th we will probably know what map we will have. We will have an idea what the strat layout will be. COs and individuals can start claiming their targets then.

Why not just make them snapshots in the events arena?
SEA is open all the time. Seems arrogant to force MA to do what a few players want. If you want to compete with the CM team, do it on thier own turf....SEA. Then we can see!

Arrogant?  No one is forcing anyone to do anything. Play or dont play with us. No biggy.  Read previous posts as to why we want to do it in MA. Its nothing more than a Joint Op night, except it includes all 3 countries. And its targets have little to no effect on the gameplay of others in there. 2 hours. Twice a month. The horror!

I just have to throw my 2cents in on this one. IMHO I think it will add a level of excitement to the MA with absoutly no interference in the way the MA has been the past 6 months....the furballers and spawn campers won't even know we are there. (really)
Stegadude come have some fun if your on....(really)

Stega,

Filth is not competing with the CM team.

Seeing how I and several of the CM team are actively engaged in this, and have devoted a significant amount of time to make sure it does NOT interfere with the normal MA Game, this appears to be a great way to introduce and promote interest in events to a great many people that do not read the boards.

We had a turnout on the last event that rivaled a published scenario with months of advance planning and advertisement.

I see this as a great thing for the community.  The mission plans are not set in stone until the map rotates in Friday, and the exact target will be identified Just Prior To Launch so that it does not in any way hamper, affect, interfere with or negate the normal game play of the MA.

Hope you can make it, good to see ya

Its Friday the 28th!

     Im thinking it may be a good idea for all the interested players to be ingame by 7pm et tomorrow night (Sat 29th) so we are sure what we are hitting. Guys who can make missions should do so. For the first strike I would make perhaps 3 targets. The strats require many bombs.

      Figure in escort, we'll need alot of them. If a mission man goes down, or if you know how to make them, start a new mission immediately, and have dead guys from the first strike fill it up. We cant wait too long between strikes as we only have 2 hours to kill every strat. But dont go with 3 guys. Lets have sizable missions  of 15-20 minimum.

Participation results so far from the *NDM* is looking good We should have 6-12 on at least 15 min before start time...I can be available before.
I also submitted a poll on the strat targets and the top 3 results were:
Troops and Training-----> 50%
Fuel Depot----------------> 33%
City-------------------------> 17%

is there going to be a CO for each side setting up missions and stuff?  like for rooks, we could have one CO set up flights of buffs/jabos to hit certain targets, then he would let the LW know what we are planning to hit.  same for the bish.  CO would make things alot more coordinated and fun :)
