The objective? Capture as many bases as possible with the resources you have. The first side to capture the most neutral bases by Sunday, August 24, wins.  It's a land scramble gentlemen, only you can decide!  Each side starts off with one base each. In the middle are neutral bases.

Managed to log in for a bit tonight.  Channel One was enabled by accident; since most of us don't remember to check, people who were broadcasting on 200 were sending their messages to outer space.  I changed it back, so Channel One is no longer enabled.  Use 200 for cross-country communications, like before.

I had some fun fights last night.  There was not enough people to get the base capture aspect going though so it was mostly air-to-air.  Hopefully we'll get a couple of the squads playing in-force and can get the ground attack aspect going.  Might also be worth a post in the general discussions to get some people who drifted away back.  Probably going to need 10+ on a side to get the bases.

I've made a few changes to reflect a better balanced gameplay opportunities.

1. Downtimes for towns is 1 day at a reduced hardness.
2. AAA lethality is 1.0 vice 2.0. (maybe lower)
3. Dar is set to 30 miles.

Sounds like fun.  An individual can take a field this way but it would take some major work and time.  Should work better with low numbers.  Curious, anyway for a town to pop instantly once a field is taken so the other side can't take advanatge of the work to bring down a town?

Town pops up after capture: Side A takes a base after a good fight with side B.  The town pops up.  Side B may counter attack with jabos, fighters, and/or bombers to knock the town down and try and take it back.

Town stays down after capture: Side A takes a base after a good fight with side B.  The town stays down.  Side B sneaks M3s and/or C47s into town as it is already down. 

I don't see how the town popping up avoids a fight.  Please expand on your thoughts.

 :rofl You new in AH?  Here is how base capture is done in the MA AvA and all the other arenas.  Not always, but I would say about 70% to 80% of the time.  The rest would require more complicated code for attacking a base with huge numbers.  I am not that good to write that now lol

while( side_A_attack_side_B() ){
    If ( resistance ) {
        try{
            Players->move_to_undefended_base();
        }
        catch( WhineEchecption e ){
            printf("%s", e.what());
            General->complain_about_spyies();
        }
    }
    else{
        Players->capture_undefended_base();
        General->hi_five_players();
        Players->hi_fiveve_eachother();
    }
}
