Title: This week
Post by: Oldman731 on February 27, 2009, 07:52:51 AM

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have not been able to get Fudgum's setup ready as planned.  Don't worry, we're working on it.

In the meantime, we'll run Tunisia.  Because of the difficulty with base proximity (or lack thereof), aircraft are enabled at all bases.

North Africa - Final Moves

Pressed between the veteran British Eighth Army on the
East, and the green but eager U.S. forces on the West,
the Afrika Korps fights the final delaying action.

Because the historical airfields are quite far apart,
vehicles and aircraft are enabled at ALL bases.
Some aircraft will not be able to exit Vbase hangers.

Radar settings as follows:
   Tower 132,000 (feet)
   Sector 316,800
Fuel is 1.0 burn rate.
Ack is .25 for low-level ack, .1 for puffy ack
  (that is, considerably less effective than MA).
Friendly mid-airs are off.

Strat is disabled.
Bishops are disabled.  Pick Rooks or Knights.
There is no radio channel one.  By convention,

North Africa!  My favorite setup!

I've recently rediscovered my love of the AvA <S> Oldman and staff.  Sometimes I think we don't realize how good we have it in here.

Just a note that the rooks and knights are reversed from the arena message.

Edit:  And the aircraft are not enableed at the V-bases.

NOTE:  I accidentally hit "Notify" instead of "Modify."  -2 for being stoopid.

Somehow the map reset itself.  I reloaded the tables last night.  Should be working again now.  I've enabled flight for all sides just in case it happens again.

Thanks for the heads-up, it's great to have other eyes watching things!

Yes, it will... you just need a little speed before you make it through the doors.

Trust me.   :aok

edit: it will stay intact as well.
