We have the following events.
Some pilots like a more structured environment where living and dying take on a much greater meaning. Aces High has a group of volunteers called CM's (Campagin Managers) that put on different events on a weekly of monthly basis. Some types of these events include the following:
Tour of Duty: Weekly, Friday evening and Sunday afternoon squadron-based events. The different days are geared for U.S. or European pilots. These take place over three consecutive Fridays or Saturdays, then a week off, then they start back up again.
Snapshots: These are held Wednesday evenings and are geared toward the individual pilots. These are just a one night event. Each week there is a totaly different Snapshot event.
KOTH: King of the Hill. This is a monthly event that all are allowed to participate in. It is a winner take all event. The winner has to be the last pilot still flying. The first pilot to win three rounds is declared the "King of the Hill" for the following month.
Combat Air Patrol: Take place Saturday afternoons as a squadron- and / or individual-based event. These encompass a continuity of action from week to week. They also keep track of players statistics and awards based on overall performance.
Historical: These scenarios are run once every three months. These are our largest events and the most historical in nature. Scenarios may have months of pre-planning done by the Aces High CM Group, followed by a registration period, then weeks of practice for both sides, then several hours of flying and dying for your side one or more days a week over several weeks.
Scenarios allow LARGE groups of pilots to re-create many of the great air, sea, and land battles. "Bigweek" with B-17 bombers and P-51, P-47 and P-38 escorts vs. the German 190's and 109's. Sicily with invasion forces, ground vehicles capturing strategic land targets all the while a great air battle taking place over head. "Battle of Britain" with the German forces trying to do better than their WWII counterparts with their fighters and Ju-88 bombers trying to defeat the Stubborn RAF in their Spitfires and Hurricanes.
