Biggles, hopefully we'll get as big a crowd as when we did the BoB, one of the finest moments in AH for me...

can really crappy pilots like me come too?

(the following reflects my views only)

The AVA is an arena where the overall culture of the regulars is to engage in air to air combat for the most part. Base taking, win the war, etc, for the core group is not what they're looking for. HO's are discouraged, as are ganging, vulching, and ack hugging. Sportsmanship and side switching for balance are encouraged. Not saying you won't run into any of the things that are generally DIScouraged because you will. Just not as often as you do in the MA's.

yes, definitely one of my faves too. it would be so awesome to break 100 or even 150 in the arena, especially because you know 90% of them will be far above average skillwise.

dicho, please come mate, i haven't flown with you in a while

bring your squaddies too!

i think it would also be fun to break the squads up. have each squad split evenly between the two sides. it's not often that squads fight against each other, and i think it would lead to some friendly and enjoyable fights, but we'll see what people want to do. would be nice for people to wing with people they don't usually fly with too. whatever people would most liek to do though, that's the idea, all of us having the maximum fun together possible!

yeah, what he said

there always seems to be far more *chivalry* and respect in the AvA. people leave their egos behind and just have fun. it's easily the hidden gem of AH, but there are never enough people online, apart from when we run things like that (as panzzer mentioned, we ran BoB missions a few years back, it was absolutely awesome, one of everyone's best AH experiences. i think we had 100+ online at one point, it rocked

)

Dicho, as Biggles stated, of course you're welcome. One of your squaddies will be flying with us in here (Harppa) so you're welcome to shoot him down or fly with him. And as Biggles isn't running the show, he or his squad can't deny anyone from participating (as Biggles said, feel free to join in)... So everyone welcome.

Yep, this meeting is for pilots from all simulators, but this is a good time to show off the community and gameplay in AH for the non-believers (some WW2OL, WB and IL2-series pilots in here besides us AH'ers). So expect at least 10 or so of us to be in there.

Just FYI, THIS is what happened last time we tried something like this, it was awesome fun. this is a film i made a while back of just some of the footage and missions from that night.
