Slapshot,

Thanks :)   Right back at ya... your a heck of a guy yourself.

I just finished another reply and it stated my take on numbers, Yes Numbers normaly rule.   But its the organisation that generates those numbers.   So,  its both numbers and organisation.  

The RJO has won a reset a while back,  a year or two ago,  When we did not have the numbers,  I remember since I was the CiC of that one.    We were the country in middle as far as numbers.   Now thats the exception,  not the rule.

Ghostdancer, Dawg, Myself have a standing challenge to the knights and Bishops.   Get yourselves organised,  and meet us in the SEA at a specific time and go head to head.   I too would like to see how that went.  :)

When we first started getting Joint Ops going,  I figured after about two times trouncing the area,  the Bishops and Knights would follow suit and be clubbing us in return.   It still hasnt happened.    I really think our opponets are missing out on a fun experience.

{edit}
Oh yeah!  Quit peeing in the pool!!!    ;)    LOL!

Just another thing...   I cant claim credit for the RJO,  It was a combined venture between a bunch of people.  

Some of those Key folks were GhostDancer (Ghstdncr),  Dawg (BFD),  Gunner (GunrCAF),  myself (GrimmCAF) and a few others that were there from the start.  

Today Ghost, Dawg and myself work behind the scences to keep things moving forward and helping things along,  But Credit goes out to the squads,  their COs and their Pilots that make the RJO work.  

Its been alot of fun,  Its built alot of commaradiree and friendships between folks outside thier own squad.   Its really give many rooks a feeling of comunity.   That is truely the best part of the RJO.    

Now where do we Keep the Chlorine,  Iv got to fix the pool!  ;)

BUT ...

I would like to see Gimm and Co. organize and romp the map when numbers are equal. I don't want to piss in your Rook pool (yes I do), but when the Rooks have twice the amount of pilots than the Knights, and more pilots than the combined total of the Bish and Knights, it doesn't take a whole lot 'o organization to romp in any direction they so choose.

I am not one who gives a hoot who wins or who loses these virtual wars, but all this back-slappin' and chest puffin' cause "We are so much more organized than you" is complete BS ... ITS ALWAYS THE  NUMBERS !!! If I am wrong, then the Rook will romp and reset when numbers are basically equal.

Being a Knight, and being in the barrel has resulted in more fun and fights than I could ever ask for ... keep up the good work Rooks and Bish.



lol, I just seem to get more perk points on those nights.  Winning losing doesn't matter I get more perks from killing them then I would getting  stinkin reset ;)

As long as the rooks use their numbers to keep sending 24 plane B-17 raids to our HQ, I'll be happy as a knit.

I spent the whole evening flying an A-20G, by choice mind you. No strat porking either. I flew defensive CAP at A44 and A41 fighting off Knit fuel porkers (not that I blame them for that considering the lopsided numbers from the RJO) for over an hour. Ended up with several fun 1 v 1 fights against F4Us and Bf 110s.
Meanwhile, my squad was off on a six sector mission I arrived too late to join in with (whew, I hate those anyway :D ).

Fun night all in all.

My regards,

    I beg to differ. Are you familiar with a movie called "Zulu" with Michael Caine? The story is true and they were outnumbered 10,000 to about 200 or 300 and held the numerically superior Zulu army. Granted the Zulu's only had spears and a few guns, but you can only load and shoot so fast.
    An unorganized and vastly superior unit can and will be defeated by a smaller and more organized one, so don't sing that tune. There are numerous battles in history were smaller numbers prevailed over greater numbers.

     And neither did the British army, so what's that got to do with it? That statement holds about as much water as a pail with holes in it. You make it sound like only the Rooks get to re-up.

Kindly explain how this example relates to air combat occurring in three dimensions, especially in light of the fact that the "Zulu" warriors in this case have equal weapons and the inevitable tactical advantage. Thanks.

If the Zulus had been more strategically-minded, they would have porked all of the Brits' back bases to 25% fuel, no ordinance, no barracks, and no radar.  And they probably would have made sure to vulch the Brits whenever they tried any sort of defensive manuever.

Wow, 2stony is right.  Aces High is just like real life!
