    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.

AvA Staff...  is this a one night only event?  I ask because I'm pacific time and often get screwed out of fun due to real life...  and this is one I'm really interested in.  (I also love jet week!).  I know you can't do this for the regulars that play for too long... but can it be extended for the weekend for schmucks like me who get screwed into 6 day weeks 12 hours a day because they're salary?   :headscratch:
