No, it’s an assumption man. Sorry to burst your bubble.

... then they are not the same. (Was leaving that obvious conclusion to you.)  :D

You make a pointless point. Differences don't negate similarities.

Nor do similarities make things the same.  :old:

Nor is anyone claiming they do.  See previous remark re: pointlessness.

The MA is a war game. Events are a war game. They are similar but different.

They are different, they are not the same.

Hopscotch is a game. Soccer is a game. Only one is an actual sport.  :cool:

The Pigs just like to watch red icon guys die and their bases burn.  The war means nothing.  It's the virtual death, destruction and chaos that means everything.  We train and hone in the Melee for FSO and Scenarios.  Thank you Red Icon guys.  :aok

The Melee arena is an open world filled with WW2 toys to be used as players imaginations determine.

Well said. I always felt it was like playing tag or Capture The Flag, but with airplanes.  The ability to capture fields and flip maps gives us a chance to apply tactics and strategy. 

Any way you cut it, it's a lot of fun.   :banana:

Still cracking me up on this.

Splitting hairs for what reason? To try and prove some superiority complex?

Every offensive in a war turns in to a melee. The basis of comparison that is being used in long winded explanations boils down to not having a central HQ dishing out commands.

It’s quite easy to find this in the MA you just have to look for it. There are players that lead well and many of us will listen to them and push on with what ever it is we are doing. The by product of that is the inevitable map win and rotation.

Meanwhile, back at the OP:

The melee arena is multiplayer flight sim in which planes (and gvs) can shoot and drop bombs.

The criteria for resetting the persistent map, aka winning, is to provide objectives over which to fight.

As a history nerd, some match-ups are slightly annoying, like when a P-47 opens up on a B-17. Not so annoying to prevent me from pulling the trigger, but, a hit to the immersion.

I still play as much as life and wife will allow, which is much less, lately.  :salute

The MA definitely qualifies as a useful tool for all the military academies. (You're not the only one amused.)  ;)

It's not an assumption, you express that as your opinion by your answers to everyone's reply's not aligned with your fantasy about the Melee arena. You are projecting it by the construct of your responses.

Kind of like you and the GV Dar, huh Bustr? :rofl
