War is coming to the AvA
« on: January 10, 2008, 03:54:15 PM »
For our next setup, we'll be hosting a War between Germany and Allied forces.  How is this going to work? EVERYONE - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

a) Both sides start off with a map and a set # of bases.
b) Each week, each side will have primary objectives set. I.e. Capture base(s) 45 and 46 AND hold them until Date XX at XX time. There are 5 sets of objectives to complete and win the war.
c) If both sides completes their objectives, or if both objectives are not met, the war continues.
d) If one side completes their objectives, the battle-line is move forward for the winning side with additional bases
e) Additional targets are given (secondary objectives) that if complete in additional to the successful primary, bonuses are given. I.e. a newer aircraft or vehicle.
f) To win the war, all 5 objectives have to be successfully met over the 5 weeks.

In order to expedite and assist in the war,  we require Generals for each side.  If you are interest, we recommend that you are a) in a squadron, and b) have experience leading men in battle, either in real life or online.  In addition, squadrons can declare their allegiance to which side they are fighting for.

We need for each side:
A) Commander in Chief
B) 2 I/C
C) Squadrons to declare their nationality.

Please reply to this message or PM if you are interested and to declare your nationality.

Who are you? Are you Axis or Allied?

I'm surprised that there have been no responses yet, so I'll start it off.

There is potential here, and there is only one way to find out if it turns out as well as it could.

But, what about us squadless, skilless dweebs?
I have no intention of joning a squad, yet I am willing to be a peon/fodder for a side when I have time available.

I am equally adept at dying with either group of aircraft, athough I have more practice dying in Allied rides.

I am willing to participate if able, and will reserve declaration of allegiance depending on what is needed.

Us Avengers will be fighting for the Axis forces this month.  I have tons of experiance leading men into war, both online and in real life; but no where near enough experiance in AH to take the bull by the horns.  So, I offer my squad and myself to follow orders of the chosen Axis leader for the duration of the war.  I'll keep an eye on this post for ferther developments.

The AArch AAngels would like to participate in this event. We would like to join the Axis side this month. As far as experience in leading, i have numerious experience and skill in leading men, planes, tanks, etc.


I'm primary as mission planner/runner/ CO in snapshots and such, so i know the feeling to be behind the big mans chair. If there isn't a CO for axis i would like to apply for that postion as well.

H'ain't official, but I think I can vouch for the 353rd FG SLYBIRD chugging on the Allies side.  Especially if this thing turns into an uber DGS type event!  w00t n h00t! :D

Keep us posted on what's needed to make this thing a GO!:aok

I know your intent is good but if I'm already losing, why do I want to keep coming back with an even more powerful opponent.

:aok on the new direction.

Better aircraft at the rear bases might compensate in some way?

However If you where to put better aircraft in the rear baces,
The fuel should be limited at the rear bases so as to keep
players from flying the better aircraft to the front lines from
the onset of the war.

When the lines move closer to the rear bases then you could fly the better aircraft, and try to slow down the attack and regain
ground to push the enemy back.

Just a thought.

Squads are not necessary but helpful if you declare a side as we will be announcing the winners at the end of the war, as well as top medals for squads and pilots.  You can then wear these medals in your squad home pages and signatures. :)

I still don't have any commanders.  Any takers?

Thrilled to see this. I'd always daydreamed (believe I shared it here in the past) of a dynamic campaign that also included attacking industry of the other side to affect technological advancment, availability of equip per base, etc. Kudos! Finally! :D
