The Hundred Days (18 July-11 November 1918) was the final Allied offensive of the on the Western Front. The stalemate on the Western Front had been broken by the great German offensive of the spring and summer of 1918, which had pushed the Allies back up to forty miles and created a series of huge salients in the Allied line. They had failed to achieve their main objective, which had been to separate the British from the French and capture the channel ports, and had drained much of the strength out of the German army. As the German offensives began to run out of power, Foch began to plan the Allied counterattack. This was to begin with a series of attacks designed to eliminate the salients in preparation for a final campaign in 1919. If the initial attacks went well, then Foch hoped to launch a major offensive that he hoped would push the Germans back off French soil. Even if that succeeded, there was every chance that the Germans might choose to defend their own borders, leaving the final campaign still to be fought. However the war would end much sooner than expected when the offensive began. The Offensive set the stage for Germany's retreat and final surrender in November, 1918. As the offensive rages on the ground The Royal Air Force and the Imperial German Air Service clash in a fight to the finish above Northern France.

I was in AvA tonight and I can say that I was rather surprised to see some dweeb vulching the field. Might want too increase the ack lethality. Also I'm not a big fan of no icons, but I did have some fun.
-
I didn't see much in the way of vulching but if we get some WW1 maps for the AvA that ack will put a stop to any vulching.
-
i was shooting ack guns last night which could be mis-construed as vulching, but i never shot any any players. the ack in the AVA is way down, but we can turn it up anytime.

It wasn't you. I have it on film and shot the putz down. He was vulching planes on the RW. I've run into the same individual in the TA a couple of times and he has a hard time following the rules in there.

Any chance this is going back to WWII settings this week? Not sure if you guys have seen the low turnout for WWI compared to WWII in the AvA but...just judging from the numbers I've seen in the evenings over the past few days.
