Ok, in light of the Ladder post and Poo's 2v2 post here is an idea I've been considering for a while. I don't have time to spec it all out now (I'm at work) but I will outline the generalities here.
An Aces High League with teams and set matches in the SEA.
The Aces High Air Combat League (AHACL)
12 pilots /team
# of teams must be divisible by 3. i.e. 9, 12, 15, 18
Each team in a match would fly as Bish, Rook, Knit
Map would have 3 fields in close proximity, i.e. FT in donut. All other fields are disabled. We would have to find appropriate maps and locations on those maps.
Only fighter enabled. No bombers, no ord, no GVs
All setting would be the same as current MA settings except the following:
1. All gound targets are indistructable except radar and field ack.
2. Radar and field ack regen in 5 minutes (discourages vulching)
Object of the game is total points over set time period of match, say 120 minutes (2 hrsotiable)
Plane sets would be based on time period:
1940-41
1941-42
1942-43
1943-44
1944-45
Planes would not be discontinued so the 44-45 set would have all fighters.
# of matches would be determined by # of teams and depending on # of teams the top 3 or 6 teams meet in a playoff.
I also had an idea for a GV league. Same as above except GVs only.
And a full combat league. All enabled, say 3-5 fields/team winner is the team that captures the most (or all) fields in the time limit.
Thoughts?
