Geez AnRkY...or whatever.  Is your caps lock key not working correctly?  

Obviously you dont read these boards much or you just dont read for comprehension.  Hangtime has been talking about coordinating missions and nights like these for a while now.  And every other thread I have read concerning this subject had some insightful comments from the "leaders" of each country.  Everybody knew it was coming....hell Hangtime posted on a public message board what we were going to try to do.  

The numbers were even when the night started....have to agree with SOB on this one, if ya knew it was comin' then ya shoulda done somethin' about it.

LOL DJ!      That Hangime can be one tricky bastard!

Anarky, you're making it sound as though this was a sure thing to start off with.  Every country here has loads of talented pilots(yes, even the K'niggits & Rookies   ).  If the circumstances had been a little different, our initial raids could have been beaten into oblivion - on the B17 raid I participated in, there was heavy Rook fighter resistance that was beaten off by our escort (WTG escorts...especially Kappa who saved my out of ammo butt!).

Massive raids like this are hard to defend against, and that's exactly why they are used.  One of the only goals in the MA is to win the war or shut down someone's radar(which is a good first step toward winning the war).  Fair doesn't enter into it...there are rules set forth in the game that you have to follow, and as long as you do that anything else is fair game, particularly if it puts your enemy at a disadvantage.

BTW...If you don't like being called a whiney turd, I can instead use one of the many names I call my own squaddies on RW

That HQ raid really was something.

By coincidence Camo had just gathered 8 rooks I think and we were about to launch an attack on Knight A28 since the rest of the rooks were fighting the bish.

Just as we were planning what planes to take we saw the sector bar jump from zero to full in a second. We knew a HQ raid was forming, and we took off in 3 109G2/G6, 1 p51, 3 205's and a typhi  
The sector bar was staying at A28 but now also filling sector north of it. We actually arrived at A28 before we spotted the enemy.
Several lower (at about 15K-20K I think) P51's with a few offsprings (190, spit, and N1K)
We engaged and I saw the a few of them go down. After we had fought with them we suddenly saw a dark cloud forming to the north. It turned out to be about 13 B17's in formation at 25K. I made a little attack and managed to lightly damage (fuel) one of the bombers before I was driven off by the escorts. The fight with these ended at the deck where I finally got one of them before the two others managed to kill me.

When upping again it was too late to gain alt and stop the raid for me.
We might have stopped it if more rooks had started climbing when the 8 of us started. We we continuosly calling out that a strike was coming, but not until they started showing up on P32's dot radar did a significant ammount scramble, too late.

Hehe Hang,
Here I tried to fool the bish's and....well the history was written!

I wish I could have been on last night to witness the organization.

Things very rarely happen like this.  And it probably won't happen like this again for a while now, but, boy when it does, it simply kicks arse for both sides of the fight!!

WTG Bish's on the organization, sometimes the planets align!

Now, having said that, the Bish High Command has just sent out an important message:

To:All brave (cough) Bish Comrades
From: Generalissimo Commandante Big Kahuna Hangtime

Re: New Strategic and Tactical Orders

Brave (cough) Comrades in the struggle, last nights missions were a fluke and totatlly out of character for our brave (cough) bish forces.  I witnessed gross attention to detail and organization, which I do NOT wish to see repeated.

The High Command has become dizzy with all of this planning and thinking, and quite frankly, it gave us all a headache, and we don't like that.

So, going forward, it is imperative that we return to our old, comfortable, disorganized ways, and get back to mindless furballing on the big center island.  Do NOT stray from that airspace......ever!!

Signed,
Grand Poopa Hangtime
