For All FSO, Scenario and Main Arena Pilots
« on: January 19, 2019, 09:27:06 PM »
I am placing an open challenge for all Aces High players to come participate on January 26th, 2019 this upcoming Saturday for Target for Today Leyte, 1944.  What makes this event very unique is that the Allied CO and the Axis CO are from the same Main Arena and FSO squad.  The Arabian Knights.

AKWarhawk is the Allied CO.
AKKuya is the Axis CO.

We have squad mates on both sides.  The fighter guys are flying Allied with the F6F Hellcats and the bomber guys are flying Axis with the Ki-67s.  Both groups will be looking for each other.  Both groups might encounter each other.  There will be blood spilled from each other. (All in good fun)  When we read the logs after FSO or Scenario, we laugh at friendly kills.  I look forward to the laughter and good ribbing from the logs of this event.  I plan on shooting down the Allied CO many times.  :D

Even if you are curious to this wild setup.  Show up at just before the top of each hour and pick a side.  The Side CMs will get you to a group.  Pilots who fly bombers, we have both B-24 and Ki-67 spots available.  We need you also.  There are plenty of fighter slots also.

FSO and Main Arena squads can jump in also on event day for the same side or on opposing sides.  In SEA 2, all players are to be in uniform corresponding to that side's unit.  Squad text will not work for Main Arena and FSO squads split on both sides. 

For FSO pilots, the map has clustered opposing bases.  There is no 50 minutes of flying to a target for 5 minutes of action and be done.  We have the capability of much quicker action and a new plane at the top of each hour. 

This will be an AK vs AK showdown.  Plan on being there to witness an epic event.  For those reading this, neither AK side has knowledge of the other.  We have kept this from each other from the beginning.

I would like to see over 100 players show up for each side.  One week to go. 

The Axis will win.  :neener:

2 country war, more historic setup, flying in a mission as part of a team with and against other creative human minds... what is there to thing about? How often can this be experienced in the MA or elsewhere?

Some are put off by the alt cap but how do you approach a co-altitude merge? When one group is higher then usually the higher group controls when the fight will start. With co-altitude do you enter into a turning fight and the best turner wins or do you break your squad up into elements before the merge and approach from different angles? Decisions, decisions...

Sign up and suit up.

12 hours of excitement.  No real idea of what chaos and mayhem will happen.  3 sectors space between opposing bases for close quarter combat in the sky for best fighter brawling possible.

For this one, walk-on's welome or only registered?

As many others, I can't be sure that I'll be available, don't want to register and be a no show.

Would rather under-promise and over deliver.  :salute

Walkons are always welcome.   :salute

I'll remember that when the logs show I shot you down.   :devil

I have a lot of planes available.  The other side might have mechanical issue due to drunk mechanics.   :devil

Would be great if this could be marketed in the game somehow. I just don't think enough people who actually play are on the BBs. Most new players probably don't even know these special events take place...

THIS!!!!    Hate how if pilots aren't on the boards, they could miss out on half the value this game has to offer. Telling you guys, just how a pop-up window appears when someone wants to join your aircraft, I'd like to see a pop-up reminder for special events for those in the MA.

Don't care, or have time, cancel the pop-up.   Want to join, pop-up signs you out of MA and into special arena? Or I dunno, just an informational pop-up... Either way, I like the idea of making it easier for players to join a special event.
