PROPOSAL
To establish a ROOK squad alliance to effectively
marshall our forces into a cohesive, coordinated
fighting force under a unified command.

EXECUTION
Squadron commanders would register their squad and meet on
the Rook War Department squad channel each evening to confer with
other squad leaders on how best to employ their
respective forces to win the war.

Strategies could combine the efforts of a ground vehicle
assault, bomber mission and fighter interceptor mission
all operating according to a coordinated plan under a unified
command.  More simply, missions could consist of merely
launching multiple attack missions from multiple bases
to overwhelm and capture a target.  In all cases,
the strategy would be up to the day's strategic commander
and squadron commanders would be tasked with various roles
and missions within the overall strategic plan.

COMMAND
Overall strategic command would rotate between
squadron commanders who lead squads that have at
least 10 active players.  Strategic command would
alternate on a nightly basis and would be in
alphabetical order based on squad name (excluding
non-alphanumeric characters).

I personally do not command a squad and will not
be leading any missions or participating in strategic
or tactical decision making.  This will be the
responsibility of the Strategic Commander of the day
in consultation with the other participating squadron
commanders.

The arena for operations will be determined after we get
this thing up and running.

OPERATIONS
Squadron commanders and the Strategic Commander will
be on the same VOX channel.  Individual squadron commanders
will maintain voice communications with their squads using
local range VOX or text.

REGISTER
Rook squadron commanders who would like to participate
in such an endeavor or who would like to help me get it
off the ground please let me know.

Squadron commanders that want to participate should
contact me via private message.
Please provide the following information when you
register.

1) Squadron Name
2) Squadron C.O.'s Name
3) Squadron C.O.'s email address
4) Number of ACTIVE players in your squadron.
5) Website Address (if you have one)
6) Preferred Arena

After I have a cadre of interested squadrons, we will
kick off operations and meet on a designated VOX
channel (to be emailed to squadron C.O.s).

I counted 16 squadrons operating as rook in LWOrange
and 15 in LWBlue.  If I get a decent response
and we actually get operations rolling then I will go
forward with some needed assets (website,
downloadables, etc).  If there isn't much interest
then at least I tried.

Besieds, my concern is to get more fun out of
the game.  This fly-shoot-land stuff is getting
quite boring.  I need more challenge and I enjoy
working in a mission format.  Maybe other people do also?

tho i 100% agree with this:aok

The rooks are good pilots and I enjoy flying there.  If this horde like mentality grows like it has been the past couple of weeks during the day with 20+ players we will have to frequent Knights again.

You should become familiar with several of our Special Events that run through the week. Many of them are just what you are looking for.

I recommend Close Escort or Snap Shots. They are walk-on events and you could even be the commander of your country, it rotates.

I believe you would have more enjoyment there as opposed to trying to herd a rook horde around the map in D3A's and P-40's because ENY porked your hangars.

P.S. See siggy for linky

I usually enjoyed the old Sunday night RJOs. However, organizing on anything but a one night a week basis will create the super-squads that contributed to the break-up of the MA. That, we don't need.

My regards,

Widewing

Bishland usually ARE the horde, at least in one of the two LW arenas.  Knits numbers usually portend Red-Headed-Stepchild comments.

Thanks Virage.
I just shop my ideas around on the boards.

I've found that the 10% of players who
visit and are the most vocal are an excellent
contrarian indicator.

If it gets shouted down here, it is destined to become
very popular within the larger gaming community.
I'm encouraged!
