[SEraider]

You guys were well organized today and out-flew us in our event today. 

Never the less, we had fun and look forward ot our next fight.

If anybody from Team USA or Europe have good film to post, please do so.

I got booted after the third round and couldn't get back on. Why was Drbone who is a American flying for the Brits?

I got booted after the third round and couldn't get back on. Why was Drbone who is a American flying for the Brits?

we examined his family tree and found that he was 1/4 irish and it goes all the way back to the potato famine.

I asked raider whether he had picked bone to fly with you guys and he said no.

lolz u picked a American guy to fly with the UK in a USA v UK fight... Just seemed more like USA vs the Few.

we did make up 50% of the pilots because we are the largest Euro squad. 

I for one enjoyed the fighting,  was pretty intense!

So after Junky's post let me explain what it was all about.

SE Raider some weeks ago asked me whether it be possible to get a one off 11 vs 11 matchup organised in the DA composed of the best sticks we could find for a Ryder Cup style America Vs Europe fight.

Using the Squadron Dueling league rules as a guide we fought 5x 1 life rounds in the following planes;

Spit 9,  109K4,  F6F5,  F4U 1A, Ki-84,   the participants were as follows;

Team America;



SE Raider, Tonyjoey, Krupinski, snaphook, froger, lossuns, violater, muzik, sads and juggler

Team Europe;



(GBR) Bruv119, Kazaa, Greebo, Airbull, RTHolmes (GER) Dhyran, (SUI) Viperius, Sveno (ITA) Chewi  and (1/4 Irish) DrBone


Results

Round 1   10 vs 10,  Europe had 8 planes left.
Round 2   10 vs 10   America had 7 planes left.
Round 3   10 vs 10   Europe had 8 planes left.
Round 4   9 vs 9      Europe had 7 planes left.
Round 5   9 vs 9      Europe had 6 planes left.

End result:     Team Europe wins 4-1


If you wanted to get involved with this type of action we do have the Squadron Dueling league to arrange matches against other squadrons.  On July 1st we will be starting the Official Second season of SDL and reset the current ladder back to zeros.   It has been on going for the last 18 months and we have had over 50 matchups.  

With the amount of squadrons in AH to only have 12 prepared to do battle is a little low IMO,  So you have up until the July 1st to get signed up  

We are also looking to do a monthly KOTH type event but with squadrons that anyone with 6 or more players will be able to participate in.

 

I was hoping we could make this a bi-annual or yearly event.

I fly under the British flag my CO is Bruv which makes me apart of the British team even though i am American i myself was not considered a spot with the American group for that reason you should be mad   really enjoyed the fights and   to All who participated  

[Kazaa]

Bone told me that he wasn't picked for the U.S team, their loss, being that he wanted in on the action.
After all he's 1/4 Irish, that counts still, right?

Was just a little bit of fun suns, no need for drama.

<S> Team U.S.A.

Lol, DrBone should have been on the America side, otherwise not have participated in that themed event.  Nice job though, not like it matters. 

[DrBone1]

Lol, DrBone should have been on the America side  

Grizz Baby!! 

[Bruv119]

Ok Grizz  you can be team coach next run.

I take responsibility for this one DrBone.  I should have considered you and I completely forgot and would have loved to have had you on our team.  I wrongly associated you with European with the FEW and should have not done so.  So to my teammates, this is my mistake and it won't happen again.   

Again DrBone, i did not mean to snubb you sir.
