I've been reviewing the BBS posts of the two squadrons that form the Mutual Backslappers Society - the TAS and the BKs. Never a day goes by without one of them singing the praises of the other, and bemoaning the way that everyone else plays - despite their assurances that everyone should be allowed to play how he wants.
Since they won't go to the DA, why not create a BKTAS arena- a sandpit reserved for likeminded souls. There would be no strat, and the fields of each country could be made to overlap. The taxiway for a BK field could lead on to the runway of a TAS field. There would never be a need to climb to more than 500'. Indeed, to save time, the opposing squads could just shoot at eachother on the ground from opposite ends of the runway. (There would be two runways which would be shared between both squads to save time. They have such busy lives, and can only spare an average of 34 minutes per day for AH.) They could have their own BBS, and ponder the wonderment of overlapping fields. Fuel would be available by pipeline, with no nasty buffs/fluffs to ruin their fun. The only planes available would be "weed wackers" - the early war T&B monsters. There would be penalties for flying above 2K. The altimeters of the aircraft would not be calibrated above 3K. All aircraft would have fixed gear because it wouldn't be worth putting the gear away, given the short distances to be flown. If it really takes off, we could rename the arena to AH3/TFTS (the fight's the thing!).
