Your country Bishlandia is being attacked on two fronts. The small band of pilots that still remain: The Bishwaffe are made up of a mixed bunch of a few experten and many "kids" with a mere few hours of flight time.
the rooksians are on full offensive on the eastern front and advancing towards the city borders.
the Knights have long since beat back the bishop offensive: "Operation Baby Seal" in the epic Battle of Knitland.
your task is to save the bishop homeland from total destruction and stave off the massive overwhelming onslaughts being carried out by the knights and rooks that has descimated our oil refineries, factories and cities.
The situation is grim and the odds are against you. command and control has been smashed and all radar stations have been destroyed.
all but 2 airfields and one vehicle field have been overrun by marauding enemy aircraft and vehicles.
yet even as the Bishop empire is at its knees the Allied pact between the Rooks and Knits has began to come apart due to repeated incursions by each country on their commrades fields thus causing friction and clashes as the knights and rooks battle over who controls captured bishop territory.
chaos reigns
yet the Bishwaffe fights on to the bitter end (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-----------------------------------
this in a nutshell is the normal condition in the MA.
I don't really care if it stays that way or not but it sure is challenging flying for the Bishop's compared to flying knight or Rook. and I for one like the pucker factor of slashing my way through a sky full of red Icons (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Funny that no rook was crying in UBB when they were ganged by knights and bishops.
But now when bishops are being getting the same, what I hear, they cry alot (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

shame on you hasqueak and Juuti (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
this post was a spontaneous paragraph of creativity on how the MA can in some ways parallel the struggle for power in ww2.
don't twist it to fit your conspiracy seeking whine alert notions.
thanks
and enjoy (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Very funny Citabria (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Country gang-banging was one of the appeals of the game, and that's why I didn't complain when the Bishs and Knights were continually knocking us Rooks about. Happened quite alot when I last played. I like being the underdog every once in a while (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif).

I plan to take part in the Annual Seal Bashing------I've even turned my own "basher" on the lathe.......SOLID OAK BABY!!!!
Can't wait to hear the accoustics (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
EDIT NOTE:
The seals mentioned in this post = Kniggits and Rooks
The "basher" = my airplane
All you tree huggers and Seal lovers can relax and complain about those who strafe the sheep!
OBSERVATION
Funny how 52 kniggits and 25 rooks couldnt take over the last two fields and V61 to force the reset.
This is no whine.......Bish rule in the defensive!!!! C'mon kniggits....you can do better than that!

bishops? pah!

Hey Skernsk,
I tried on a number of occasions to get a push together to take the fields and force a reset but there were conflicting views. Some thought it better to force the reset while others thought we were bashing the Bishops too much and left for the north to fight Rooks. With the reduced numbers to attack the Bishops, field capture was basically impossible and many gave up prolonging the Bishop lack of fields.
So if it matters any, just about all of the Knights were trying to do "the right thing" it's just that we had different ideas of the best way to do it.
One thing for sure - oak airplanes is easy to kill though (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Man, I had more fun yesterday than I have in months. I'm going to start letting C47s though until we get to the back two.
Is the psychological factor of less little green squares on the clipboard so great that people cannot enjoy the fact they're coming off a 5k base, with plenty of friendly support, immediately into fights?

Cita, you forgot the ancient lore, the old prophecy.

LOL!! The past week has been a total blast. Pinned back aginst the sea; we've had a very short commute; and with radar and cities down most of the time, the pucker factor has been very high.
For the first time since I started flyin this sim, I flew an F4u1c last night..
Outlying pickets reported a massive combined strike inbound from the pinhead (knit) front; and I did a fast walk-around on the bent wing wonder; slammed the throttle open; and immediatly burst into a fireball 100 yards up the runway when it ground looped.
Plucking my charred corpse from the wreckage; the BPO pointed me at another one, and I somewhat more timidly worked it into the air. I set course towards the last reported position of the pinhead formation and soon found 4 Lancs and a B17, escorted by 5 spits and a Typhie.
I dove on in.. and the hispanos turned the B17 into a flaming wreck before he could fire a shot. Next; I kicked the rudder pedals over and lined up the trail Lank... kchink-kachink-kachink... 2 down. Lined up another one... kachink kackink.. 3 down.. and since there was only one left... I dumped on him too. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) End of strike.
That f4u1c is an evil airplane. Somebody better let the High Command at Pinhead Central know that buff formations can kiss their collective tulips good-bye when the bish get annoyed enuff to fly the Corsair. I may even bother to take the time to adjust the views... next time.

Fat Drunk Bastards (http://fdb.50megs.com) -- "shut up and FLY"

Was on yesterday when we were down to 35 and 36. I began flying the F4u-1d exclusively. The Rooks didn't seem all to interested in 36 and our dar was down, so I headed to 35 with a ton of alt.
I engaged a couple of planes, and only managed to lay 5 pings on a 109 before a 190 killed me. I came up again and got a couple more before rtb'ing.
On the third sortie.. I came up at 36. It seems a lone bomber took out all the acks and left a p-51 and spit there to vulch. Unfortunately, I didn't see the p-51 until he made a mad dash at me. Fortunately, the d model is a tough plane.
I managed to turn the tables on the 51, but he augered before I got a firing solution. I came around on the inbound spit. He was diving in with an e advantage and I didn't have much hope in my d model. I still didn't stray from the HO aspect he offered up. I got a wing... but so did he. We both did a lazy survival circle and he managed to touch down. I don't think he wanted me to get a kill for his capture so he waited until I straffed him to death. Then I died trying to ditch.
I was vulched by a tiffy on the next sortie and was coming up again when someone said "don't defend 36.. let them have it! It will cause a reset!". It seemed to be a sort of slap in the face to all bish on at the time. For the rally cries began.
I evaded the tiffy the next launch and watched him run like a little girl. As I was grabbing alt and keeping an eye on his departing con.. I noticed a low dot incoming. It was a C47. It didn't stand a chance.
As I climbed from the c47 kill, pilots began to spawn at 36. About this time, 2 spits and a p51 showed up to try to vulch. A couple of ack came back, pretty much thwarting the vulch session and 2 of us engaged them in earnest.
A friendly P51 was working on a spit's 6 when I managed a jump on a spit that was trying to clear his comrad. That left a p51 and spit vs a P51 and F4u-1d. I came around and managed to land some shots on the p51 taking off a wing.. he died a short time later. That left me with the spit on my 6. The friendly p51 came in and started spraying away. He didn't do much damage, but he managed to scare the crap out of the spit pilot. The spit banked hard and I followed suit. I don't know that he ever saw me as I took off all of his control surfaces.
I logged off with the bish beginning to rally and after a 4 kill sortie in a d-model. It was a kick.

Hehe.. nice story Cit. I couldn't fly very much the whole week since I didn't have time. But I've learned since being here for almost 1 year that the bish are a bunch who like a good fight. Brawlers. I've only changed sides once during the early beta to knights when there were only 3 of them online (remember those days? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) ), and it was only for 1 or 2 sorties attempted against the rooks. Sounds like it would've been fun to fight this past week... I get more kills and get killed less when there are more friendlies as well as targets around. Oh well.. I'll be there more this coming week.. cya all up.

Nothing better than a nice target-rich environment for my 109.
