Combat Challenge I

[daddog]

Gents,

Here is the setup information for Combat Challenge I

Please note that the BOB terrain has been repaired (quick fix) and loaded thanks to Easyscor and Skuzzy. Now we have the smooth coast lines. Consequently it will be about a 3 or 4 meg download.  If your on dial up you will want to get on early and download it.

Targets Allied
A49 and A50
Targets Axis
A11 and A13



This event will not be scored, but the logs will be posted.   All fields listed may be attacked, but the designated targets are simply something for the Axis and Allied bomber pilots to shoot for. Down time normal and we will not have any field captures. Really not sure how many will attend so I want to limit the combat area to the above section on the map. If you fly from England roll and head SE. If you up out of France head NW. You are bound to find some action.

Allied Active Fields
A11, 12, 13, 14,15, and 16.
Bombers can only roll from A11 and A13.
Axis Active Fields
A36, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, and 50.
Bombers can only roll from A49 and A50.

Aircraft Allied:
Spit V
Hurr IIC (only the first 10 minutes of the frame)
Boston Mk III
Lancaster

Aircraft Axis:
Me-109E
Me-109F
Bf110C
Ju-88

*The Hurr IIC is a killer and IMHO will dominate the skies so after the initial roll it will not be available at any field. If you roll in one and can keep it alive and rearm it, more power to you.

Basic Arena Settings
- Terrain bob09
- Fuel 1.00
- Icons (off for enemy) (3k for friendly)
- Ack (same as MA)
- Radar will be Tower Only and dot dar (tower operators are welcome )
- Radar alt 300 feet. Below 300' you will not flash or show up to any tower operators.
- Fighter and Bomber warning range about 15 miles
- Tower range set to 15 miles (for display only to match the above setting)
- Clouds / visibility 17 miles
- Friendly collisions off
- Enemy collisions on
- Kill shooter off

This will last about an hour. Maybe longer depending on how may attend and how much fun they are having. It is a walk on event and squads are welcome. I will ask the community/squads to do their best to keep things relatively balanced or I will have to disable flights in one country or another till things even out.

I will be on a bit early setting things up. Holler if you have any questions.

***Remember get on a bit early as you will have to download the updated BoB09 terrain.***

Looking forward to some pictures and AAR's.

Does this start at the regular FSO time?

[ink]

I was wondering about sides also, I want the Hurri2C, as it is my favorite ride, but if the Allies have the numbers I will go to the Axis side.

Go ahead and stick with allied...I'm sure someone in a 109F can help redecorate that ugly Hurricane you're in.

I hope they try, be real boring if no one did.....But I have faith in my Indomitable Hurri, she may be, slow as molasses going uphill in winter, BUT a little caress of her 20's is all it takes.  

[daddog]

Yes starts at 11 PM Eastern, regular FSO time. Should have put that in.

Ink start with the Hurr II, then after a few sorties switch sides. I have some die hard Spit lovers in my squad, I expect they will be Allied for a bit at least.

If the numbers are really out of wack I will have to disable flight for a side.

[68ZooM]

will be there dont know which side our squad is going to fly, dont really matter to us, looks to be very fun thou

[68Hall]

We'll be there. Allied.

[Nefarious]

Yes starts at 11 PM Eastern, regular FSO time. Should have put that in.

Does it end at regular FSO time too? I may stick around if it should go into the wee hours   

[daddog]

Unless I lose power, (nasty storm here as I type this) I will host for quite a while if we have a large number of players.

[Shamus]

Gotta say daddog, most fun I have had in a long time!! icon settings were a blast

that rocked cant wait for the next one, wingman tactics was the way to go, it was awesome, fighting over the water the planes blending in it made it very challenging you had to make your shots on target count ( no lil red icon to help ya)   great event
