After some discussion in the CMs forum we've decided that the name for the saturday event is.......well........
ok, we've got Squad Ops: Yup, squadron event, you can tell from the name.
Scenarios. Yup, linked frames depicting a historical battle.
Snapshots. Snapshot, kinda a one shot thing. Yup, snapshots.
King Of The Hill. Well duh, wonder what that event is all about.....
What event's that Swoop?
The CAP event.
What on earth does CAP mean?
Combat Air Patrol.
So.....it's like.....all A2A then?
Well no, it's a branching campaign starting in 1940 that follows WW2 in a chronological order through to 1945, either side can win in the end, there's medals and other cool stuff. Oh and it's not just one life either, it's two hours of action. There's ground attack missions, bombing missions, fighter sweeps and ground vehicles are available in between flights for pilots who got shot down and don't want to just wait around in the tower for the next spawn window.
So......wassat got to do with combat air patrolling?
Um.....bugger all.
Then why's it called the Combat Air Patrol event?
:blank look:
'Tis a silly name.
And we want your help renaming the event since us CMs are all about as creative as a stunned herring with a crayon.
Have a look here (http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=101078) for a full description of the event if you've never flown in it.
Please make your suggestions in this (http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=109801) thread and the lucky winner will be revered for all time as the man (or woman) who named my event. Personally I wanted to call it World War Two: Online. But I understand there may be some copyright issues.......

Hey man,
Totally offtopic and a shameless hijack...but Rich from Bristol is trying to contact you.
He said your e-mail in-box is full and all attempts to reach you have failed.
Carry on.

AHII :D
It's too bad this is only Saturdays. I think the idea and format is cool but Saturdays are tough.
Call it Axis and Allies.
Battlefield WWII
We want YOU
The Last Great War
-
Well Tour of Duty comes to mind but then that is probably taken ;)
WWII - the continuing saga (Saga WWII)
"The Duration"
History Channel
Makin' History
"A really fun time on Saturday" (ARFTOS)
"Most fun you can have with your clothes on"
"Try it! You'll Like it!"
or for short
Fun!

World at War
War in the Air

ARFTOS has my vote.
"Axis vs Allies" has my vote as well - it's simple and easy to remember. Plus "AVA" is fast and easy to type. It describes many other events though :)
Channel 1
octavius: Saturday AVA starts in 20 minutes, head to the SEA!
Then we can have arguments whether it's 'Axis v Allies' or 'Allies v Axis'. Fun for the whole family.

I think we should give it a name more reflective of the event itself. Like:
Holy ****, I can't believe Sikboy forgot to start the logs again. Or HSICBSFTSTLA for short.

How about "DIAS" Die In A Stuka
