The Battle for No-Man's Land
It's January 1942 and in this semi-historical setup, the Axis and Allied forces face off across a small divide. In the middle? Bases for capture!
The objective? Capture as many bases as possible with the resources you have. The first side to capture the most neutral bases by Sunday, August 24, wins. It's a land scramble gentlemen, only you can decide! Each side starts off with one base each. In the middle are neutral bases.

Managed to log in for a bit tonight. Channel One was enabled by accident; since most of us don't remember to check, people who were broadcasting on 200 were sending their messages to outer space. I changed it back, so Channel One is no longer enabled. Use 200 for cross-country communications, like before.

:aok Sounds like fun Fork! Fill me in guys, really wish I could participate. :frown:

I had some fun fights last night. There was not enough people to get the base capture aspect going though so it was mostly air-to-air. Hopefully we'll get a couple of the squads playing in-force and can get the ground attack aspect going. Might also be worth a post in the general discussions to get some people who drifted away back. Probably going to need 10+ on a side to get the bases.

I've made a few changes to reflect a better balanced gameplay opportunities.
1. Downtimes for towns is 1 day at a reduced hardness.
2. AAA lethality is 1.0 vice 2.0. (maybe lower)
3. Dar is set to 30 miles.
:salute

Sounds like fun. An individual can take a field this way but it would take some major work and time. Should work better with low numbers. Curious, anyway for a town to pop instantly once a field is taken so the other side can't take advanatge of the work to bring down a town?

Defend it? It may actually lead to a fight? ohh, never mind

Town pops up after capture: Side A takes a base after a good fight with side B. The town pops up. Side B may counter attack with jabos, fighters, and/or bombers to knock the town down and try and take it back.
Town stays down after capture: Side A takes a base after a good fight with side B. The town stays down. Side B sneaks M3s and/or C47s into town as it is already down.
I don't see how the town popping up avoids a fight. Please expand on your thoughts.

No Bish side, and all planes enabled for allies. Need a fix nights are taking over.

:rofl You new in AH? Here is how base capture is done in the MA AvA and all the other arenas. Not always, but I would say about 70% to 80% of the time. The rest would require more complicated code for attacking a base with huge numbers. I am not that good to write that now lol
while( side_A_attack_side_B() ){
If ( resistance ) {
try{
Players->move_to_undefended_base();
}
catch( WhineEchecption e ){
printf("%s", e.what());
General->complain_about_spyies();
}
}
else{
Players->capture_undefended_base();
General->hi_five_players();
Players->hi_fiveve_eachother();
}
}

Fixed. Base capture now at 20 troops. :salute

True, but if a town pops up after catpure than they would at least have to work for it by taking down the town again and the defending side would have some notice.

None of that mattered.
A month of early war set ups killed any appeal the AvA may have had. It stayed dead despite the new and challenging set up. Americans popped their heads in and found for like the 4th week in a row that the best thing they could up is the P40.
Then they bailed.
You guys didn't vary the plane set enough in between the wars. Just offered one early war set after another.

I think that when there is no war going on in there, someone should announce it in the BBS so the guys that were chased away from that arena in favor of numbers, would go back. As it stands now, I log in there once a month just to see how sad it is.

Hey, pay attention, dude, we've been announcing the weekly setups since the end of the previous War.
It's August. Things almost always slow down during this month. I haven't been able to log on myself more than once a week because of a variety of factors.

Ditto what Oldman says :D
Maybe it's been because the ole Chilli Dawg hasn't been around to stir things up :lol Hope to see you all soon! TheBug N.A. Campaign looks to be a hoot!

Fellas,
Would you consider changing the map to the new Tunisia Map before the war? I can't find it to download anywhere to look at it offline. I re opened my account to take a peek, mainly to see this. I know TheBug and staff have been busy working on making this happen. I really need to be able to download map before the actual battle begins, due to dl limitations on my part. So, if you can help a brother out? :D

Check the AvA arena. I believe Fork loaded it about half an hour before your first request, you probably just missed it.
