I guess that's why I wondered what happened to all you rooks after you egged 214? We never even came close to losing even our ord. What were there 10 flights of buffs? 30 bombers?

Not sure why no follow up? Just a porking mission? That what you guys do? Darn, it shore was fun!!! Keep it up

p.s. I think you'll left after that one.

Yeah...but does the LCA have as much fun as the "Knights of the Grillparty?"

If you're a Knight who likes to team up without the restricted aircraft of a mission or the commitment to a permanent squad...this is a party for you.

Tune to Channel 105. Anytime.

All are welcome and we'll fight anything anywhere.... and maybe... just maybe if there are enough of us....we might take a field or two. But we'll have fun doing it. Come and go as you please....its an "open house" non-mission mission.

Look for the Grillman or any of the "unusual suspects" on that channel. Indviduals welcome, squads welcome, individuals in squads welcome. Bish and Rooks....sorry....not welcome

Sorry Ren I cant remember the battle. But if I left I was either way out numbered, or no one was really doing anything. Apparantly the latter could be applied here

I don't know if bombers belong in the game or not but.... they have no reason to exist without fighters... their entire being is based on how much trouble they can cause fighters.

If they could co exist without destroying the fighter game then probly no one would care that much about em but...

That really isn't what you attention starved guys want now is it?

That's a fair statement, in essence. You can also derive from this that if bombers weren't meant by HTC to cause trouble for fighters, they wouldn't be in the game.

It's been "set-up" for a long time; I've heard "looks like it's time for another grillparty" on country channel for quite a while now. I don't know if it was a Knight answer to the baby diaper thing or not, but I think I have inadvertantly (sp?) popped into & helped with, a "grillparty" once or twice.

I don't get what the big deal is I geuss.

All it takes is 1 262, ponie, p47n, typhoon, tempy, whatever to pop the goon and ruin the capture effort. Last I checked, bombers make pretty crappy goon escorts. Park a panzer under a tree near a town and lob HE at where the troops are landing.

Dropping FHs under a furball is pretty obnoxious, but again, all it takes is 1 or 2 guys to go around and pork their ord. If it's that big of a deal, do something about it. If it's that important to you (and you're a knit), hell, msg me ingame ("ndy"), and I'll come help you. I don't even check my score anyways.

Military strategy is marginally applicable at best to the MA. Attacking weak spots has little effect when you can transfer bases instantly... if a Rook stubs his toe in the forest... er... what I mean is... if dweebs wanna drop bombs, and they're the only ones around to hear them go boom... does it really matter?

Having the "Internet's Premier WW2 Combat Experience" not include bombers would be completely stoooooopid.

Bombers have been part of The Game since this all began back in AW. Back when you couldn't even capture bases.

And, if you recall your history, between the wars it was thought that bombers would be so fast and well gunned that they wouldn't need fighter escort or to worry about being intercepted. Quite the opposite of what happened; and of your hypothesis.

The day I can log in and not see troops and ord porked two and three levels deep by lawn-darting porkdweebs is the day I'll consider not bombing hangars to enable a base capture.

And there, of course, is the source of the problem.

I don't think so. I see as many hangars blowed up from fighters with 1000 pounders as by bombers. And that's what you all are on about - blowing up FH and "ruining the fighter game."

Nope. Yah missed it Doc. This is AH. Not AW. AW died. Dead. Kaput. Failed. Put a Fork In It; Finito.

This 'Game' is different. You refugees may have adopted this as your new 'game', but it ain't THAT POS ack-star game.
