good enthusiasm, need more.


any organised formation of 12+ planes is a good fight for anyone.


i think the limit should be 32 vs 32.


transfers and member swaps can be aranged at will, the squadron that is fighting will form a squad in the DA that day and invite any geusts.

only exclusion being you cannot fly against your MA squadron.

session last for 1 hour? 2 hours?



the maximum amount you can outnumber a side by is 2/1.

eg: 12 vs 6 is the most you could send against a low turn out squad.


planes (can be match ups) are chosen by the loser of each round.

If you allow any kind of odds other than 1:1 you open the door to, shall we say, lively discussion of the validity of the outcome.

If you do a 4v4 and 8v8 ladder, that gives folks two chances to compete.

I would expect the initial HO exchange of fire in a 16x16 or bigger engagement to be reminiscent of Gettysburg.

Sign up here, there is a squad ladder set up.  332nd has done a squad duel or two.  4 vs 4 is not my idea of a squad event.  Call me anti-AW I guess....

the whole idea is to get large numbers of pilots (15-20 per team) flying at once.




i think the majority of fights will be within range of 40-60% fair numericaly at the worst.

if we have to make it exactly 1:1 then i suggest round be set 10-10,  15-15  and 32 - 32.


take for instance 9 very experienced pilots in one squad vs 15 medium pilots on the other side.

the table will be drawn up simple as a reference for dates and times. scores will not be recorded.



most of us are able to see clearly when a fight is not worth fighting.

I also thing it should be an even number per side. In your example bat, the 9 experienced pilots should beat the tar out of the same number of noobs. Giving those noobs extra numbers kinda ruins the point of the contest... to find the "best" squad. The fight that counts should be evened numbered. After that if both sides want to play around and do the 9vs15, more power to them.

Do you sit at home and think of other ways to compensate?   Wait, nevermind, I suck, so I'll be the team with 20 crappy pile-its.

What, where, when?

I won't probably be in there (as I suck in a fighter! - if we get enough paricipants...), but we have some decent sticks in our squad. So just give us the time & location. :)

edit: I posted this in our squad forum just now.
