An important call to all scenario players

[Brooke]

If you -- scenario players in general -- want scenarios to continue, we need your help filling them.

If you don't help recruit, and figure others will do it instead, we aren't going to have enough players to run scenarios.

Most players do not read the message board.

The only way we reach new players is by player-to-player communication in the melee arena.

My network of connections is about 30 people, of which about half play in any given scenario.  But that's not enough to fill a whole scenario.

The October scenario is one week away from running.  It has 9 players registered for axis and 18 for allies.

Can the scenario player base add to that?  That's what we very much need.

I wonder if we could talk HT into approving a number of incentive prizes to be awarded in this event. Nothing extravagant or expensive. Just perk points.

Example:

Highest scoring Allied fighter pilot: 500 fighter perk points
Highest scoring Axis fighter pilot: 500 fighter perk points
Highest scoring Allied bomber pilot: 500 bomber perk points
Highest scoring Axis bomber pilot: 500 bomber perk points

Granted, these awards might be won by pilots that have accrued tons of PP already and maybe that may not be the incentive we need.

A free month of AH each? That shouldn't be too much of a dent. A free month of AH should tempt a few to try their hand at being event top guns (or top bombs).

Brooke,  I wish I had the opportunity to join in on this upcoming event but real life is not cooperating with me for this one

Got my oldest daughter up from Florida to help me and got my Sister's middle daughter and her son (my niece and nephew) here helping me go through my parents house with all the things that they had accumulated over their 54+years of marriage before they passed away these past 2 years...

We've been working on this since last Friday and it doesn't even seem like we have put a dent in it...

Hope to maybe get a chance to be a walk-on in this one....will see how it goes

I'll try to see if I can get some people to respond, register and participate in the upcoming scenario

Sorry Arlo but imho... this game is dead sooner rather than later... dead
I have been on a break for a couple of months but when I do check in, the number of players
really do not look good and those that are on are way better than me... so I don't bother

I can vouch for this person, 

I know as I am just the next rung up on the ladder.

How many lowest steps can this ladder have? There's got to be one for me.
I could say something about KOTH helping but I say that too much. It's true though.

This is not true.  I personally saw Semp single handedly take out 7 attacking fighters that jumped him while he was flying alone on the deck, trying to make it back to base on low fuel to land his 10 kills.  He is a flying version of Bill Brasky.

The overall pilot numbers in the MA have pretty much stabilized over the past 12 months (with an actual upsurge during the first three months of Corona). Which is imho quite a thing after years of almost constant, steady decline.

The registration numbers for the upcoming scenario however are quite bad, not only in absolute but especially in relative numbers. Traditionally it had between 3.5 to 5.5 % (compared to # of known MA pilots), now it's below 3%.

IMHO this is not a scenario that appeals to most who fly in AH. We have very few russians.
While overall scenario participation is down, I did not expect this one to be much of a draw. Again.... just my two cents.

[Arlo]

The Russian side has more players than the Finns. But yeah, to draw pro-Axis participants there needs to be a trifecta advantage for the German rides.

In that case.... the Finns are obviously running low on refreshments. We need to all pitch in and be sure their supply does not dwindle during the scenario.

We know the Finns are rabid when it comes to their yearly meeting. This year that was interrupted. This allows them to gather and be a force to recon with.

Well..... some of the best fights to be had are russians vs German planes. They are almost identical in flying styles.

There will be some great fights during this event. I do hope the #s pick up.
