To all Aces High Players and Squads:
There is a public mission in Melee arena being planned by Fortress Europe players. This is open to all. A simple 8th Air Force vs Luftwaffe high altitude bombing mission with escort fighters. The primary purpose is to give some fun and excitement for those involved. Secondary will be for raising awareness of the Fortress Europe event.
These missions will rotate among the countries to allow for more players to participate and to spread the word. We understand chess piece loyalty.
We do ask for those who could take a couple of hours one night to overcome this and have some fun with players you normally shoot down and fly with them against players you normally fly with.

262 is not requested for this first mission. Should a jet emerge, we have no problem depriving that player from perk points.
Allied CO for this will be AKKuya. Bomber Commander will be TBA
2 volunteers from Axis side to coordinate Bishop and Rook Axis teams would be appreciated. if Allied bomber force encounter captured Allied aircraft piloted by Luftwaffe pilots, then we will have to make the sacrifice of sending such valuable aircraft to the ground beneath in small parts.
Assigned Mission route will be at 22,000 feet for bomber crews. Route will enter the conjunction area where Bishop/Knight/Rook meet and fly roughly zig zag between Rook and Knight areas of operation. The intent of the mission is to simulate the 8th AF bombing campaign of strategic targets especially country strats. These missions are not designed to "win the war". Once all ordnance has been released, RTB will be called. We will fight our way into and out of hostile territory.
If you can attend, please come out to the show.
