Help with design of upcoming Eastern Front scenario

[Arlo]

I would like that, but I don't think enough people would sign up for them.

You have one here. I might could use my renown powers of persuasion. Only the best fly the Mosca (me being the exception).

I'm in for a 109F/G.

The Terrain is well suited for a Kuban or Kursk event. Down in the Crimea area you could involve Black Sea Ships.

Kind of hard to do a Kursk event without using GVs, but you could perhaps have a Free for All GV battle just for fun, no scoring or anything.

I think 1943 or later would be desirable as it speeds up and broadens the plane set for the VVS.

THIS is one of the BEST event ideas EVAR! So, you got shot down? Roll `em!

I did a Kursk FSO a few years back where we enabled GVs at T+60 for one frame and played capture the town. The team that held it at the end of the frame "won" the GV battle.

Maybe a later Bulge event could kinda work the same way.

Battle of Kiev out of that group would make for a fun one I think.

[Arlo]

• Kiev Strategic Offensive Operation (October) (1–24 October 1943) by the Central and Voronezh Fronts
• Chernobyl-Radomysl Offensive Operation (1–4 October 1943)
• Chernobyl-Gornostaipol Defensive Operation (3–8 October 1943)
• Lyutezh Offensive Operation (11–24 October 1943)
• Bukrin Offensive Operation (12–15 October 1943)
• Bukrin Offensive Operation (21–24 October 1943)
• Kiev Strategic Offensive Operation (November) (3–13 November 1943)
• Rauss' November 1943 counterattack
• Kiev Strategic Defensive Operation (1943) (13 November 1943–22 December 1943)

That's a pretty big battle. I was somewhat joking about making this as big as all 7 camps. Maybe just part of this one even.

Even if you only have November to December it could work for 4 frames. There is a bunch of back and forth during that time frame. Plus it would fit for the winter map.

[Arlo]

Agreed.

Or, how about this many frames:

I like this idea.

We could have it work this way.  Once a player is out of airplane lives, he can up a GV, and there will be no limits to GV lives.  The GV's will fight a battle between themselves, and the winner of the GV battle each frame will be the side with the most kills.  We'll preclude interaction between planes and GV's (as that was never popular in past scenarios).

The map doesn't have a lot of options for battling over bases.

Here are the spawns on the map:
