# MONDAY NIGHT MADNESS
## September 7, 2026 After Action Report
If you came to Monday Night Madness looking for altitude, patience and carefully coordinated tactics...
**You came to the wrong arena.**
Tonight was pure MNM.
Get airborne. Find somebody. Shoot. Miss. Turn. Shoot again. Kill somebody. Get killed by his buddy. Grab another airplane and do it all over again.
For nearly an hour, the arena was filled with everything from Bf 109s and Spitfires to La-5s, P-38s, FM2s, Mosquitos, Yaks and Hurricanes.
When the smoke finally cleared:
**134 KILLS.**
Not bad for a Monday night.

# 🏅 THE MNM AWARDS
### 🏆 TOP GUN Eagler
**21 kills.**
Eagler of **7./JG 52** finished on top of tonight's pile.
And he wasn't farming one airplane.
FM2s, La-5FNs, Spitfires, Yaks, Bf 109s if it flew in front of him, he took a shot at it.
Tonight the scoreboard belonged to **Eagler**.
---
### ⚔️ BEST RIVALRY Eagler vs. tdgShane
Forget Axis versus Allies.
Tonight we had:
**Eagler versus tdgShane.**
These two spent a ridiculous amount of time shooting each other.
Final head-to-head tally:
**tdgShane 6**
**Eagler 5**
That's **11 kills between two pilots against each other**.
Eagler would shoot Shane down.
Shane would come back.
Shane would shoot Eagler down.
Eagler would come back.
Repeat until somebody ran out of Monday.

### 🎯 MOST WANTED ZE
At various points tonight it appeared the official MNM tactical plan was:
**Step 1: Find ZE.**
**Step 2: Shoot ZE.**
**Step 3: Repeat.**
BSB alone collected **six victories over ZE**.
The problem?
ZE kept coming back and shooting everybody else.
He finished with **12 kills of his own**, including repeated victories over N7, BSB and Wiley.
Apparently nobody explained to ZE that being everyone's target was supposed to slow him down.
---
### 🔨 THE HAMMER BSB
**15 kills.**
BSB spent much of the evening making himself extremely unpopular.
His favorite customer appeared to be ZE, but Molsman, tdgShane and others also received personal visits.
Aircraft changed.
Targets changed.
The result usually didn't.
**Guns. Kill. Re-up.**
---
### ⚡ LIGHTNING STRIKES Bolt
You don't see a P-38G survive long in every MNM furball.
Apparently nobody told **Bolt**.
He finished with **15 kills**, tying BSB for third overall.
Fudgums2 and Molsman both discovered that having two engines doesn't necessarily mean the P-38 is going to stay out of the knife fight.
---
### 🔄 FREQUENT FLYER AWARD EVERYBODY
Tonight's unofficial motto:
**"Well...that didn't work. Grab another plane."**
Spitfire.
Bf 109.
La-5.
FM2.
P-38.
Ki-43.
Mosquito.
Hurricane.
Yak.
Take off.
Fight.
Die.
Repeat.
Nobody had enough time to get emotionally attached to an airplane.
---
### 💥 "I'LL BE RIGHT BACK" AWARD SNO
SNO was involved in some of the busiest stretches of the evening.
He repeatedly tangled with **jaeger1, ZE, Fudgums2 and tdgShane**, piling up **11 kills**.
At one point SNO dumped **1,200 rounds** from a Spitfire Mk IX before ditching.
The solution?
Naturally...
**Get another airplane.**
---
### 🌀 MANEUVER KILL DEPARTMENT N7
N7 wasn't relying entirely on bullets.
Several fights ended with maneuver kills, including victims such as Fudgums2 and Sully.
N7 still finished with **11 kills**, putting him into the double-digit club.
Sometimes the best ammunition is simply convincing the other guy to hit the ground.
---
# THE NIGHT IN ONE SENTENCE
**Shoot him down before the guy you shot down thirty seconds ago comes back and shoots you down.**
That's Monday Night Madness.
There were **134 credited kills** in less than an hour.
Eagler walked away with the Top Gun spot at **21**.
tdgShane chased him with **16**.
BSB and Bolt finished with **15 apiece**.
And just about everybody got a chance to be both the hunter and the hunted.
No twenty-minute climbs.
No hiding at 25K.
No carefully preserving your K/D ratio.
Just airplanes, guns and a whole lot of:
**"Where the hell did HE come from?"**
Thanks to everyone who showed up and made another Monday night completely ridiculous.
### 🍺 SALUTE!
**See you next Monday for another round of Monday Night Madness.**
