HiTech, Pyro.... please move it or review it as I placed it in the wrong place, apparently. Since it was an "existing" feature of AH, I "assumed" it would go there.
http://forums.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=227946 I was totally blown away Christmas Eve when Santa came and visited the arena. It sparked new interest, albeit, not for everyone, but you know what....everyone didn't leave, either!!!.
Now, I am asking, begging if you must, that you create a
New Arena for the Night Time. If I have to manually move every post over there to here to satisfy you, I'll do it. I am hoping that you will hit that link and look at the opposition, which there really isn't any "valid" opposition, since this would not effect any existing arenas. We/I didn't propose it to affect any current arenas. It would be a New Arena. (as pictured)
I also had a marketing idea too, that we could have Night OPs, Stealthy OPs, Navy Diver OPs. Normandy scenarios. Yes, I am a dreamer.
The purists say "we need more planes" etc., "WWII wasn't fought at night nor in inclement weather". I say phoowie! We have just enough now to start.
Couple of quick ideas:
Navy Diver OPS. (Later Navy Seals, to keep the "purist" comments to a minimum.)
CV(s), PT's, LVT2 and LVT4, maybe a goon too. "Capture a Port"
It would be stealthy, even the purists can agree on "Navy Divers" and LVTs.
A mini scenario with a special map where the port guns are all manned, dar is inop or small in range.
Maybe even a shore battery or 3 whose lethality is turned way down.
LVTs come ashore, carrying troops, vehicle supplies, and base supplies. Maybe it takes 5 (or more) base supplies to count as food and building materials for the base to become active....just thinking
Normandy Invasion: how dare me think it could be done....
We all know C47s and gliders took part ...at night... dropping troops behind enemy lines. (Wind settings enabled too) We know by history, many did not hit their landing zones and were lost. Maybe design a terrain for it, special, where there are towns behind the lines, that again require say 30 troops, 20 loads of supplies to make it a vehicle base, and then the (GV) assault moves toward the channel.
Meanwhile, CVs carrying PT boats armed with rockets, as well as LVT's with troops, vehicle supplies, and base supplies storm Omaha, Juno, you get my drift. The scenario ends just after sunrise. We have the tools already in place for these. Maybe even a line of Shore batteries, Anti Aircraft
guns, for when the fighters do sweep the shore, to kill shore batteries, and a few German planes to assist too. (like in the movies)
I see a marketing opportunity, for HTC, to grab a new piece of the pie, draw in more folks. That is why a "New Arena" would be ideal.
People would get accustomed to the concept and maybe even warm back up to it. They would also not be shocked by it, as they might be, if it was just thrust into being in a scenario or event.
As the post linked above states, No one will be forced to click on the New Arena. They will go there on there own. No one will hold a gun to their heads. It's their choice. I'd like to have the ability to choose it myself. I am not alone.
When all else fails, Bribes /Blood money will be paid!
