I'm a bit disappointed.  this map is turning out to be a 1vs1 map.  objectives don't seem to matter.

Its up to the players to follow the suggested orders, get organised and capture/defend bases only if they choose to hitting st rat targets and grabbing territory will advance your forces enabling new aircraft at captured bases. The tools are there if one wants to take advantage of them. If folks want to dog fight its their choice.. Enjoy

THE CURRENT SITUATION

WEATHER CONDITIONS OVERCAST... AS THEY WERE DURING OPERATION BAYTOWN..

The 99th Fighter Squadron, XII Air Support Command, transfers from Licata to Sicily with P-40's, they along with P-38's are sent to hit landing grounds at Reggio di Calabria base A2... but fail... instead they attack targets of opportunity in the general area.



The allies attacked at Axis base A2 Reggio di Calabria ..The toe of Italy. But failed to capture it

Axis has defended successfully  ...... and won today's round  

 To advance Allies will first need to capture and hold Knight base A2 Then continue and advance northward capturing knight bases A57,A56,A63,v60.

If a country captures a base it will be populated with their aircraft automatically
IE if the allies take base A2 as instructed the base will be automatically suplied with allied Air craft and other tools of war to help them advance.

Really hate the rolling plane set. feels like it restricts the gameplay too much.

In what way does it restrict the game play too much?

In what way does it restrict the game play too much?

disregard. i just didn't understand the current setup at first. 

[AKKuya]

Is there scheduled times for these events?

[Tyrannis]

Is there scheduled times for these events?

Negative. its an open arena at all times. you can come in and attempt to complete the axis/allied objective whenever you wish.

The arena gets most busy tho during the evenings-nights.
