(http://FilthsHangar.homestead.com/Rommels_Retreat_D.jpg)
Ive been thinking of this for a little while now and thought it would be fun to try in the AvA. This would take more than just a few people, so read it over, and let me know what you think.
If it sounds do-able, we can try to get people involved so its a good sized mission.
This would have to be a 1 life thing to work right. Oldman I'd need alot help with it. :) Maybe we could figure a way out of 1 lif limit. Maybe just 1 life for GVs, and unlimited air. Supplies would figure in greatly...rear guard action..cool stuff.
-
Dates and times please ;)

One life we've done once before. You can adjust the settings so that you are resurrected after a specific time lapse - five minutes, ten minutes, whatever. It might be a good idea to just keep people down for awhile, with the ability to re-up, so that they can't affect the present situation but they don't have to leave the arena for the night. You'll decide. As far as I can recollect, you can't vary the resurrection time between vehicles, aircraft and boats.
This is a great idea. We can put the Tunisia map and plane set in motion in less than fifteen minutes, so don't worry about that. I'm assuming it will take a few days at least for you to work all this out.

Ya it will take a few days. Mainly to spread the word to get people in it. Thanks for the reply on the other thread btw :)
How about after the ground vehicles launch, you destroy the VH at each base, and the dead GV guys become pilots unlimited lives?
Also, as the mission progresses, the allies will have further to fly, but I think that will be the reward to the axis as they get closer to home. I dont want them whacked right off the bat.
-
No date yet. Still workin it out.
-
sounds good... i think you need bostons though as level bombers though, RAF medium bombers were used extensively in N Africa to harass convoys.
-
Im trying to avoid using bombs and just want the convoy to be whittled at by Hurri 4omm., and chased down by the faster moving allies.
-
Sounds fun:aok I'll be looking forward to it
-
You have two choices, after the launch, disable the GVs you want to eliminate or set DownTimeMult to 200 and kill all the appropriate VHs after the launch, either way you won't have to worry about more GVs of a type you don't want. That way you keep everyone in the arena upping planes after the GV run.
-
That sounds good Easy.
-
Maybe 2-3 Bostons max with small ord. Have to keep them alive. Once gone, they have to re-up hurri2d no ord.
-
Looks good. Set a time and a day and let's have a go at it. Better in Sundays, especially after CE events.

If you keep doin this filth,you might actually get people in AVA again. Instead of keeping a down time,maybe it can be a 60/40 split like the last mission from thurs.just an idea,i'll shut up. lookin forward to that mission. and again,THANKS FILTH.

Oldman since so much rides on your being there, would Thursday Oct 12 @ 10pm et be ok with you?
If so we have from now till then to come up with the plan. AND to get as many people in this as possible. If you know a tanker, get him interested.

I'll give that a preliminary "yes." Will confirm this evening, but barring unforeseen problems that looks like a fine night.
I've seen the 325th people doing practice GV missions in the arena this week - Joedog, BadBME, Kuhn, those folks - if you see one or more of them, yell.

Those are PZIV from the hanger screen in AH :P

Hi,
Is Thursday, 12, 10 PM the definitive date? Where will it be? And 10 PM GMT or other time zone? We're flying from Europe...
Thanks,

Filth, what settings will you want?
And is it time to let people know about this?
- oldman
-
Hi OM, the settings should be MA standards. The units available are those listed above, but with one addition. The allies will have 3 Bostons available to them. The Bostons if lost will have to re-up as Hurri2d.
The following bases should be turned off
A21
V37
A26
V47
A24
A2
A50
A30
V51
A34 will be axis. Ord off
A31 will be Allied Ord on for Bostons only, until Bostons are lost. Then disable ord at A31.
This will be a 1 hour mission. Any axis unit not back to A34 at end, will be considered lost.
Victory conditions:
If 3/4 to all Axis RTB A34 safely -Major Axis Victory
If 1/2 rtb- Draw
If 1/4 or less rtb Major allied victory
We will run this according to pic above. Each team needs half its guys in GVs and 1/2 in planes. (only 3 in bostons NO FORMATIONS)
Once dead in a GV you must up as either hurri2d or a 109e.
Unlimited lives in fighters.
Please announce this...Rommel's Retreat @ 10pm et Thurs. 10-12 in the AvA
Thanks!
-
ahh looks good..:D
-
it's things like this makes keeping the account active totally worth while :aok
-
I'm IN!
-
Did some testing tonight. Panzers will die from hurri2d so use of terrain will be important. 109e and hurri2d are gonna be fun!
-
filth, great work. really makes me want to particiapte.

We can disable Bostons after three of them take off - you'll need to make sure that someone does a count and lets people know when that's occurred.
The following bases should be turned off
A21
V37
A26
V47
A24
A2
A50
A30
V51
We can set them to the neutral side (can't remember what it is in this setup). If there's time enough, we can disable all aircraft, vehicles and field guns there, too.
A34 will be axis. Ord off
A31 will be Allied Ord on for Bostons only, until Bostons are lost. Then disable ord at A31.
I may be missing something, but I don't think there's a way to disable ordnance, per se, and certainly not for a given type. We can disable any or all aircraft and vehicles, but not just the ordnance. (Someone let me know if I'm wrong!)
This will be a 1 hour mission. Any axis unit not back to A34 at end, will be considered lost.

Are you doing the life-limit and plane re-up voluntarily, or do you want us to disable all vehicles at bases once the war begins, as Easyscor suggested? That would force dead people to fly planes, and they're already limited to one plane type.
- oldman
-
Can you blow up the ords at 34 at start, and then after the last boston dies? If not no biggy, everyone whos played in these has played great.
Yes do the easyscor idea please.
Neutral is fine..its not real crucial, but would be nice.
I want to keep it as simple for you as possible as Id like you airborne , and not playing CM all the way through.
-
Sounds like fun. I'll be there!
In Pursuit,
-
Show up a lil early so we can get set. See ya tonight!
-
Thanks all for taking part! With a few changes I think it would be better.
Maybe have no axis planes up until tanks reach half way point, then at the time the axis are allowed to up fighters, an allied base closer to the action opens up. I did like the lack of ord though, as it gave the tankers hope.
It ended as a major axis victory, but the allies were under-manned.
The next AvA event I do will likely be a late war bomber run against a city.

Make it B17s, and on a sunday, and my whole squad will be there!

It was a lot of fun, Filth, as always. What time did the Afrika Korps reach home?
- oldman
-
Here's an idea. but before I present it I'll say it was fun enough but it was fun for the axis, I suspect less so for the allieds.
to the allied players for their participation in a tough assignment.
we should re run it but give the allieds the T34 P40 and the A20G as well as all of the Hurri fighters but limit the number of HurrIIcs or else that's all they'll be in.
give the axis the 202 110C4b and the 109E4.
also give the axis a more difficult objective, they must capture a vbase en route that has ack up and maybe two defenders in any GV but no vehicles can respawn from. the allied forces must run to defend it, the premis being the axis need to capture the fuel stores in order to proceed to victory by landing at the designated base.
-
OM it was after 11 et sometime. I drove it in 50 minutes offline. The combat added a bit of time to it.
Storch that sounds cool. Put her together!
I gotta say, the small group we have really pick things up quickly and play nice together. :)
-
Had a good time. Allieds needed more ground troops though. I hope more start showing up for these events.:aok
-
Sounds like it went well --
Was hoping to join in, but "Mrs. Brauno" was unexpectedly called off to some ultra-necessary womanly mission somethingorother (and by my mother, no less), and thus I was stuck on baby duty. :cry
Not having been there, but only judging from the setup, it looks like you really wanted to showcase the Hurri IId as a GV buster. To Storch's point, some kind of "true fighter" cover for the GV busters probably would have helped the Allied cause. It's been a long time since I tried out a IId, but my recollection is it was not well suited for dogfighting.
Looking forward to the next one. :aok
-
Ya maybe a Huuri2c with it and a comparable axis plane. I'd like to try it again someday with improvements.
-
I'm sorry, I showed up Thursday, 12, at 10:15 GMT in AvA and nobody was there. Looked at SEA and nothing...Was the time GMT? Am I going crazy?
How could I miss it?

It was eastern time in the US. I live in the eastern US so everything I post is ET. I dont know the GMT setup.

Had a good time :aok
Tried hard to get the GV's but your air support was working good together:(
Nice job axis
