Figured that on Friday we'd run Shifty's setup, as put forth in his thread of June 26 (
http://forums.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=208793&referrerid=4533).
Here's the MOTD as presently written; we've got a couple of days yet to entertain comments.

Clash of Empires - Burma, 1944
Japan's Last Major Offensive
Imperial Japanese Army units thrust towards Assam
in the Northwest, while Imperial Japanese Army
Air Force pilots attacked airfields being used to
fly missions across the hump. One attack against a
British air base, code named "Broadway", destroyed
the base along with most of the RAF fighters on it.
By June 1944 with the town of Imphal close to
surrender, elements of the 14th Army managed to break
through the Japanese perimeter, forcing a withdrawl
of the Japanese units. Within days of the begining
of the withdrawl, RAF Mosquito, Hurricane, Spitfire,
and Thunderbolt units began a year-long operation to
destroy the Japanese army in Burma.

NOTES:
Thanks to Shifty for coming up with this setup.
We have set up several contested zones on the map, so
that players can conduct different types of operations
simultaneously. (The actual 1944 campaign was waged
just off the northwest edge of the AH map.)
SETTINGS:
Radar: Tower 237,600, Sector 369,600
Visibility: 12 miles
Field Ack: low-level and puffy are both .25
Killshooter is on
Fuel burn rate is 1.0
Strat is disabled
AND PLEASE REMEMBER: Civil behavior is valued,
and required, in this arena.
