Since the current Axis VS Allies arena is currently a "quasi-special events arena" at the present, I was wondering if we could try out a Axis VS Allies arena that runs either a two week or one month war with the planeset representing what was available for the date?
Try it for 1 month maybe?

The month-long ETO RPS was - in my opinion - one of the highest points of AvA. We first ran it in January of 2006; I believe we ran it one further time perhaps a year later. A player named Sable figured out how to proportionally reduce five-and-a-half years to four weeks, then put the planes into play at their rough times of entry. You can find the main thread here: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,168482.0.html; you'll have to read in a couple of pages before you see Sable's Tables, and there were tweaks made as play progressed.
One of the surprising things (to me) was that playing the RPS made you realize how long England fought alone. The Spit V vs. 109F match went on for what seemed a very, very long time.

ADDENDUM: Actually, perusing the threads from that period, this is the main thread for the first RPS, which was conducted from January - February, 2006: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,169178.0.html.

sounds fun. Can we make that happen again for those of us that weren't around for that in '06?

Off Topic, but Oldman, not staff any longer?
Hope you still pop in once in a while.
cheers,

It was time for the geezer to move out of the way. The new generation has a lot of dedication, energy and good ideas that they're implementing, as you see with the new setups. Plus, I felt it was detrimental to the arena for a staff member to be pushing an elitist attitude, and I tend to do that. Too hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
That said, AvA is, and always will be, the reason I fly in AH. Now I can enjoy it and relax.

RGR that Sir, I think that may have been one of the reasons why I was such a short timer as staff. It was very rewarding at times for me, but hard to let go of some things. I really appreciate the time (which was a very long time) that you dedicated to the AVA, and was really happy to see you in there tonight.
The AVA is evolving, I see some very exciting things and yet I miss some very exciting things too. Maybe the current Staff could see their way clear to bringing back a few of the old set-ups. Seems even us old guard had a few crowd pleasers. I miss the P38J and L , P47,P51 vs 109G2, G6, K4, 190D9, BF110 set ups, with an actual historical basis.
I am sure they will come around again, given time.

I remember that some sims with rolling planeset also had the latest planes rotated in by date only being available at large airfields or airfields away from the front for a short time before finally being available at the rest of the fields.
This made flying the latest plane more interesting because the investment for your plane of choice was greater.

Yes, we did that in the RPS. It worked quite well, and was also a way to gradually withdraw planes as they became obsolete.

A BIG :aok to a rolling plane set. It would be great to see something like this run once in awhile.

Hey AvA staff, this looks like it could be a lot of fun over a month's time period. How about giving it a try? :aok
-
9 days in a row and I haven't seen a single person in A vs A.
Might have something to do with most every single ride disabled.
Meanwhile, I find axis vs allies action at another sim.
-
did you read the motd? as of 9 days of no players, ive been in there every night. usually around 10-1030pm EST.

These numbers from last week say different, not huge, but decent for a weeks play.
AXIS ALLIES
275 387
Axis top killer: Bf 109F4 69 kills
Allies top killer: Seafire 98 kills

guess you werent around when we changed the planeset every day.

Yeah, I have the same experience. But, deacking a field usually draws at least one that wants to put an end to that. And that brings in someone who wants to stop them and another, and another, etc. Most times within 15 to 20 minutes, there are a half dozen or more getting after it. ....just takes a little patience.

how about a setup where you have to capture bases to get better planes?

Now, there's a great idea! :aok. Let's do it!
-

That sounds oddly familiar... :noid
-
That is in fact the best way to do it because it is automatic. We can enable any planes for any side at any fields and they are dormant, and become enabled only if that side captures the base.
-
Wouldn't it be nice if they still had the field capture order active...then you could direct the fights along certain paths so they can't capture that rear base with the late war rides when they still only have early war planes at the other bases.

I wish that was an option we had.

ummm i think its still there.

Planes and thier service dates from another sim's planeset
The "bms" and "cv" are "big, medium, small" and "cv (carrier)"
Obviously gold means axis and red means allies.
It's a pretty old list.

Specified appearance months in the list is the appearance of a plane on big fields. On other fields a plane appears in the next month.
This list doesn't pretend to be full historically correct as it was modified after review with respect to an axis vs allies environment but most of the dates actually are accurate and it has years of changes made to it for use as a rolling planeset.
The 262 is the most inaccurate concerning dates because of it's ability to profoundly affect an axis vs allies arena where ENY and perk points are not practiced.
Interesting list but not a suggestion......I just found it interesting.
