Rommel's Retreat

[FiLtH]

      Ive been thinking of this for a little while now and thought it would be fun to try in the AvA. This would take more than just a few people, so read it over, and let me know what you think.

      If it sounds do-able, we can try to get people involved so its a good sized mission.

      This would have to be a 1 life thing to work right. Oldman I'd need alot help with it.   Maybe we could figure a way out of 1 lif limit. Maybe just 1 life for GVs, and unlimited air. Supplies would figure in greatly...rear guard action..cool stuff.

Dates and times please

One life we've done once before.  You can adjust the settings so that you are resurrected after a specific time lapse - five minutes, ten minutes, whatever.  It might be a good idea to just keep people down for awhile, with the ability to re-up, so that they can't affect the present situation but they don't have to leave the arena for the night.  You'll decide.  As far as I can recollect, you can't vary the resurrection time between vehicles, aircraft and boats.

This is a great idea.  We can put the Tunisia map and plane set in motion in less than fifteen minutes, so don't worry about that.  I'm assuming it will take a few days at least for you to work all this out.

Ya it will take a few days. Mainly to spread the word to get people in it. Thanks for the reply on the other thread btw

  How about after the ground vehicles launch, you destroy the VH at each base, and the dead GV guys become pilots unlimited lives?

   Also, as the mission progresses, the allies will have further to fly, but I think that will be the reward to the axis as they get closer to home. I dont want them whacked right off the bat.

[FiLtH]

No date yet. Still workin it out.

[Furball]

sounds good... i think you need bostons though as level bombers though, RAF medium bombers were used extensively in N Africa to harass convoys.

[FiLtH]

Im trying to avoid using bombs and just want the convoy to be whittled at by Hurri 4omm., and chased down by the faster moving allies.

[Kongkyuk]

Sounds fun:aok  I'll be looking forward to it

[Easyscor]

You have two choices, after the launch, disable the GVs you want to eliminate or set DownTimeMult to 200 and kill all the appropriate VHs after the launch, either way you won't have to worry about more GVs of a type you don't want. That way you keep everyone in the arena upping planes after the GV run.

[FiLtH]

That sounds good Easy.

[FiLtH]

Maybe 2-3 Bostons max with small ord. Have to keep them alive. Once gone, they have to re-up hurri2d no ord.

[sparow]

Looks good. Set a time and a day and let's have a go at it. Better in Sundays, especially after CE events.

If you keep doin this filth,you might actually get people in AVA again. Instead of keeping a down time,maybe it can be a 60/40 split like the last mission from thurs.just an idea,i'll shut up. lookin forward to that mission. and again,THANKS FILTH.

Oldman since so much rides on your being there, would  Thursday Oct 12 @ 10pm et be ok with you?

    If so we have from now till then to come up with the plan. AND to get as many people in this as possible. If you know a tanker, get him interested.

I'll give that a preliminary "yes."  Will confirm this evening, but barring unforeseen problems that looks like a fine night.

I've seen the 325th people doing practice GV missions in the arena this week - Joedog, BadBME, Kuhn, those folks - if you see one or more of them, yell.
