  Personally, I'll be in there from 8PM Eastern. HellBuck had said he wanted to expand it
from 7-11 PM Eastern. So, if he's in there at 7, he'll be the head cheerleader for this week.  :aok

*cough* there aren't N1K2's in MW. *cough*  :devil

But it's really fun in there regardless.  :airplane:

I posted up the last week earlier to remind folks. This week may have many watching Bama and Clemson.

I'm looking forward to it! Last week's dog fights were fun.

I'll most likely be in at 9:PM this time.

Another nice poster Odd!

Channels to use for Monday Night Mid-War Madness are:

Knights tune 150 vox/text

Rooks tune 135 vox/text

Everyone tunes channel 1 (ALL)

"Official Unofficial Rules" : Maximum altitude 15,000 feet. (It's -very- rare to see guys up that high however)
No manning self-propelled or airfield AA guns.

  Shuffler, thank you for the heads-up on the football game. If the numbers
get impacted negatively, we'll know that's the reason.
  HellBuck, cc on the 9PM Eastern for you tonight. I'll "see" you in there. <S>

  Good hunting to all!

You need to join The Amalgamated Aces High Pilots Union! We'll even get you
time-and-a half for the last 12 of those 24 hours!

Another fun night. My A20 had more holes in it than I could count. That is whenever I did not break a wing off. LOL.

Another fun night.


It was!  I was pleased to see that both sides followed OddCAF's request to stay away from the opponents' base.  Haven't seen that sort of thing outside the AvA.  Excellent fights resulted, and I had a great time.  Thanks to whoever thought of this and keeps it going.

It was fun again. There was a squad using 150 that seemed bemused that we were in there fighting. We should pick a new channel from the start next as it was tough getting everyone on agter it started.

Yes, another fun night.  Side balance seemed to ebb and flow, but lots of good, fairly even fights.  Got into a couple of GREAT 1v1s that rarely happen in the MA.

<Salute> to all who participated.

Cya next Monday night.

I suggest upping one click on channel, rooks 136 and knights 151. Rooks had already taken to this last night. I switched rook to help even sides.

It might help folks to know that switching in MW does not affect LW. The switch time in MW is one hour.

Another fun night, I was in for only about an hour but had lots of great fights.

Good call on the channel change.

we could use 223 so we can talk to each other across sides, but then you'll have to remember to use range only when being sneaky or giving check 6's

  Another great night of fights ! My thanks to everyone who participated. <S>
  I got the impression last night via a "country text" that we were intruding somewhat
by using the "standard" channels in MidWar for Monday Night MidWar Madness.
  So, let's just do this to keep it simple. Rooks and Knights both use 151 vox and text.
Cross-country comms don't work on the "100s" band so that'll work and keep it
easy to remember if guys wind up swapping back and forth for play balance.
  Personally, I was open to expanding the window from 7PM to 11PM Eastern, but
that hasn't really worked out as nobody is in there and ready to rock at 7PM.
  So, I'll be pushing the 8-10PM Eastern time slot "officially". If guys want to show
up earlier or later, that's perfectly fine and they can get the ball rolling.
  I personally just don't want to commit to four hours.
  Again, my thanks to all who attended and made it as much fun as it was!
And especially to Hell Buck, who came up with this great idea. <S>

Best regards, Odd

It is interesting to me that some of the MW regulars did not seem happy that we were there.  They kept saying things like, "Why are they here?" "Why don't they go to the DA?" etc.

They did acknowledge we really weren't hurting anything for them since we were confining ourselves to one part of the map, but it just astounds me that you can get good numbers in one of these arenas for a night and it's totally unwelcome.  I think the AvA guys would twitch a little if they heard some of the comments :)

"Stop having fun! Its distracting me from climbing out on my milk runs!"

Almost an accurate assessment but very few climb out over 8k for their milk runs.  :rofl

It actually makes for good hunting, except when it's 10 vs 2 vs 1 and you are one of the latter.  You make a successful defense against everything they throw at you and then they inevitably decide to go hit the OTHER low man country leaving you stuck on the other side of the map with 30 minutes before your next side switch :confused:

This exactly is the norm.

Midwar Madness Must Continue!!! This is too much fun.
