lutrel,
I think the difference in map/terrain settings has more to do with which AvsA Staff member is doing the setup for that particular week....

sometimes field ack is like  robocop

sometimes it does not do anything but make noise.....

sometimes you might be able to do some GV battles

sometimes ( most times maybe? ) to capture a field takes twice as many troops ( 15  to 20  vs the normal MA 10 troops )

sometimes you can do field captures / sometimes you can't

sometimes buildings pop back up in  very short period of time ( heh sometimes in less than a few minutes )


you had a few good showings, maybe next map ( week  - which setup usually changes every Friday in the AvsA ) the settings will be more in your favor........

I guess that's unavoidable with the AvA being configured as a DA, but the trouble with that is that to keep guys interested and turning out for squad nights, you need to have some sort of consistency.  Better a consistant but medicore MA than an AvA that may work one week but not the next.

Lutrel, we've started flying "mini-snapshots" with other squads in the Mid-War with historical aircraft matchups.  I'd like to get the guys and fly as an OpFor.  Do you always fly the same type of Aircraft or do you mix them up.  If you mix them up could you let me know what you are flying and we'll pick an historical opponent.

(1) The AvA setups seem schizophrenic because different people set them up. The variety is a good thing and they do a good job.

(2) Those who are asking for consistency really want it THEIR way all the time.

(3) Someone will always be complaining no matter how it is setup.

(4) Must have been target.

(5)Avengers are identical to %80 of the squads in the game, they don't play the MA because they are not accustomed to the crowds and will soon become another porker squad in the mid war arena.

(6)Lutrel is peculiar

(7)Dedalos wants every encounter to be a duel because that's what he's good at and he likes to win.

(8)Behavior doesn't dictate numbers, numbers dictate behavior.

(9)Oldman just wants everybody to get along and isn't really that old.

(10)The AvA at its best is neither a DA nor furball but somewhere in between.

(11)Dicho tries disgustingly hard to get everybody to like him.

(12)This is not a troll and these are not the droids your looking for.

(13) 13 is unlucky so...no 13

(14)Pineapple on pizza is just stupid.

(15)Everyone does what it takes to succeed including creating their own definition of success.

(16) I've got things to do, gotta go.

In other words Kong, the whole world is crazy and you are the only sane one.....
Actually Kong, I agree with some of what you say...I know, it scares me too.....:lol
I like the diversity in the AvA....but certain things should remain constant. Ack should always be lethal. PERIOD. Base taking should always be possible...but I like the idea of diversity in the degree of difficulty; ie, more troops compared to less troops form week to week.
