Hopefully this will finally put an end to the whiny numbers threads that pop up every 2-3 weeks about why no one will play for such and such a side.

Last night proved that every country is capable of winning if they just show up and fly.

Maybe now we can all just shutup and fight :)



All I Can Say Is,       Amen To That.   Last Night Was Awsome.

Wish We Could Do This More Often, Or At Least Work That Well Together More.

Rooks Could Rule If We Had Less Chief's And More Indians On Regular Daily Basis.  Statistically Rooks Show Better Numbers, Maybe Because We Have More Targets I Don't Know.

Anyway In Conclusion,  Had A Great Time Congrats To All Who Participated,  Rooks, Bish and Nits

I usually fly LW aircraft, and am not so concerned about being attacked by greater numbers of enemy aircraft. (goes with the airframe).

Bishops held out for 5 days on the NDISLES and fought back to win a reset.

Thanks for the info that this was a pre-arranged rook activity, as we sure couldnt figure out WTF was going on.

For the first reset, numbers were:
Bish 100 Knights 175 Rooks 215

For the second reset were:
Bish 85 Knights 140 Rooks 130

The numbers imbalance meant that even if you could fight 2 EA at once. there were up to 200 enemy twiddling their thumbs..... ie off capturing fields.

All told, a brave battle by Bishops, with most pilots sticking with it to the end. An interesting show of teamwork and organisation by the Rooks to get the numbers together. But it was getting a little old by the second reset as I personally saw Rook C47s approaching our cities even before they were hit by the fighters!

But us Bishops certainly took some Rookies and Kennigets with us.

I agree with JonnyB as it was great that the rooks won two resets, but it had to be the most boreing night I have ever flown.  Personally I like a rich target enviroment where there isn't six aircraft fighting over who will get the kill on some poor enemy pilot.   to all those Bish pilots that did there best to defend their country.
