Well, I have to agree with Lazs on this one... I was Knight because of the numbers. The sides were sending bombers to the bases in the north to knock down FH, barracks and fuel- not in any effort to take the fields, only keep them to minimal strength. In the south the enemy CV swarmed A6 for an hour against minimal opposition. Victims... I mean vultch mea... I mean, brave pilots who tried to lift off were steadily thinned from the ranks by an umbrella of enemy fighters hovering over the de-acked field.
Choices were: Take off with 25% fuel to chase the 25K Lanc circling the three bases we had, keeping the bases minimized but not quite dead; taking the 25% fuel from the base 2 sectors away (fh was dead in the region next to the base we were attacking) to the field we are trying to take despite the fact our barracks were dead and it wouldn't matter anyway; raise from the vultch-O-rama happening at A6, hoping you might get a ping or two on one of the bad guys before 3-4 of them get you from above; or log from the sheer boredom and disgust of realizing that neither side really wanted to end anything, the north wanting the perk farms of industry and the south wanting the easy vultch. I should be generous though; the Rooks were in possession of half the map and quite possibly were waiting to own it all- the Bishops might have been trying to balance field numbers before reset so they could get some points. Who knows. All I know is I logged on to fly some combat and spent the time chasing high alt bombers I didn't have the fuel to chase. Managed a Lanc, a B-17, and a B-26 in an hours flying time, took a Ju-88 to a base and dropped a couple panzers in the next hour, and that was it. Yawn.
Yup, call it a whine, it truly is. This is the one situation of AH I truly detest.
