Anyway why not develop some other skills and 5 of you up against the horde instead of 1 and destroy their mission Bof B style. I find it really hard to believe that your fun depends on whether or not others are learning. Facing the horde is just another challenge like building and directing the horde. The other night one 262 upped against about 25-30 of us the fact that they only managed to up one plane against 30 surely says more about their skills in communication and organisation than anything else. If they had got 5 or 10 up I think the mission may have failed.
 

You should be proud that it would take 5 people to to stop 30 of you.  Now, what does that say about your skilzzzz1. . . .

Are yes but only 8 were fighters as we had a purpose. Those fighters were spread out defending about 20 or more Bombers and Fighter bombers who themselves had different missions and I think it is generally held it is more difficult to defend than atack in Air warfare anyway, Especially when defending slow moving Unmanoverable Bombers. Also Fighter Bombers are forced to drop ord to defend which then undermines the mission. As we approached we produced Dar Bars that filled 2 sectors but still only 1 262 managed to show itself and the mission covered aroun 4 sectors I believe.

I am learning.  Numbers = smart mission design and superb stratigery

BTW, you did it wrong.  The buffs should have been covering the fighters.

What have you done for this game?   I sure as hope with your numbers you aren't training.   I've lost count of new folks that I have helped, that means more to me than landing kills.   Make sure you move the fan before peeing.   You just got some overspray.  

This thread is NO DIFFERENT than 400+ other's claiming "dweebery in another country".    Why LTARsqrl chose to make it personal is beyond me.  but "How this can be all of a sudden be intriguing the 401st time?!" is even more more of a mystery.

Indeed, and that means, again, that you're choosing the most easy part of the game... attack! No challenge!

[Hoarach]

Wait a minute with all those buffs shouldnt they have more guns than the fighters?  20 bombers multiply by 3 since there are 3 in each box thats 60 bombers.  With 60 bombers that is 600 mgs total just on the buffs alone.  With that many buffs/guns should be able to defend against a few fighters.  But your also saying 8 of your squadron fighters cant take 8 enemy fighters?

Surely this is going too far?

As always priceless, but the intention was to examine the lack of organisation/ co ordination in my own country and why we dont win the map as often as the the others do. In the process I was also interestred in finding out if there are some characteristics that typify each country pehaps creating a healthy sense of Xenophobia and team spirit especially in what I percieved to be my own countries dissorganised rabble. I have endeavoured to ferment some controversy but also some sense of identity in the different countries to give more meaning.

To the detractors I say why do we have countries, bases, and map re sets if its not also about large missions etc. I am all for skills but also sometimes it s nice to loose oneself in the crowd rather than spend all your time fluttering around pre madona style calling people dweebs and newbs and how boring it is and how it aint what it used to be and people arnt learning properly and snor snor    

And youve been complaining about people making it personal but hinting at my score being less than exemplary, whats that all about then eh

I think its all good though


I wish I could see the Rooks and Bish organising some decent missions like we do over at knights. Maybe one or wo of you should get in touch with our C/O I am sure he would help you guys out if you ask nicely

You made a cheap shot, and are now snowballing that fact with paragraphs of grammar.   Which quite frankly, is boring to read.

What Karaya meant is that your intention is the same that countless other threads had in the past, and this one had a no different outcome.

Because this is a combat simulation and, as HT said, countries and the war are there just to promote fun through combat.

They do, Yarbles.... you see, you're too busy flying with the horde to know that they do... if you spent more time defending the fields, you'd know that Bishops and Rooks have their own horde, maybe more efficient that the Knight one (wasn't this what you said at the beginning?)... but that's how things go in the game, right now, people fly in the Horde and it is a well known principle of the war that the Hordes avoid each other.....

EDIT: Do'h! Karaya beat me! I blame you!

I do not fly for score.   I do care how I perform in the game.   It's obvious you don't.    So I suggest you watch who you try to bully.   You got caught with your hand in the cookie jar, and you should have just not replied.   But, like most here, you need to get the last word in.

Listen Grandad I certainly do not need to have the last word and can smell the bait very well now as can you.

Infact i suspect I am even more of an old git than you are but just havent been on here for 5 years. If I had known about it 5 years I would have been though. But If I had known you were going to be sensitive about it I would have been more gentle with you.
My point is this is page 9 and I am taking on at least 3 of you at once in this arena and clearly winning  

I will be looking out for some decent missions form you guys though and will particularly be interested in how many defenders it takes to bring you down in self righteous flames lol

I ve been on here for 6 months and have seen nothing to rival what we put up last sunday:D

Yarbles, pardon.  When you see in the text buffer, "Xbase has been captured by the Bishops or Rooks", you know it isn't a random system message.

Last night I saw the Rooks take A33.  It wasn't a ton of people.  I think it was a squad operation.  (<> HAs).  At least I think it was the HAs.  That constitutes a mission.  Capturing a base doesn't take 50 people in an overwhelming mob to be a mission.  I know from our own operations that a mission can be 10 people with specific jobs to quickly and efficiently take a base intact.  I find it nice to capture a base we can work out if immediately and not have to wait because everything that can be destroyed was.  That to me is a better mission than 50 people smashing everything in sight.

And to Masherbrum:

Why LTARsqrl chose to make it personal is beyond me.

It's funny how a useless thread is still trogging on.

Your right.  Nothing personal.
