I am placing an open challenge for all Aces High players to come participate on January 26th, 2019 this upcoming Saturday for Target for Today Leyte, 1944. What makes this event very unique is that the Allied CO and the Axis CO are from the same Main Arena and FSO squad. The Arabian Knights.
AKWarhawk is the Allied CO.
AKKuya is the Axis CO.
We have squad mates on both sides. The fighter guys are flying Allied with the F6F Hellcats and the bomber guys are flying Axis with the Ki-67s. Both groups will be looking for each other. Both groups might encounter each other. There will be blood spilled from each other. (All in good fun) When we read the logs after FSO or Scenario, we laugh at friendly kills. I look forward to the laughter and good ribbing from the logs of this event. I plan on shooting down the Allied CO many times. :D
Even if you are curious to this wild setup. Show up at just before the top of each hour and pick a side. The Side CMs will get you to a group. Pilots who fly bombers, we have both B-24 and Ki-67 spots available. We need you also. There are plenty of fighter slots also.
FSO and Main Arena squads can jump in also on event day for the same side or on opposing sides. In SEA 2, all players are to be in uniform corresponding to that side's unit. Squad text will not work for Main Arena and FSO squads split on both sides.
For FSO pilots, the map has clustered opposing bases. There is no 50 minutes of flying to a target for 5 minutes of action and be done. We have the capability of much quicker action and a new plane at the top of each hour.
This will be an AK vs AK showdown. Plan on being there to witness an epic event. For those reading this, neither AK side has knowledge of the other. We have kept this from each other from the beginning.
I would like to see over 100 players show up for each side. One week to go.
The Axis will win. :neener:

:rock Absolutely! New,returning Patriarchs or both could see how fun these things are. For the "Noob" if they arent addicted in an hour or 2..something isnt right :neener: No pressure if you get tagged and die a lot :devil To me this is a great way to experience the best feature within this game :rock

2 country war, more historic setup, flying in a mission as part of a team with and against other creative human minds... what is there to thing about? How often can this be experienced in the MA or elsewhere?
Some are put off by the alt cap but how do you approach a co-altitude merge? When one group is higher then usually the higher group controls when the fight will start. With co-altitude do you enter into a turning fight and the best turner wins or do you break your squad up into elements before the merge and approach from different angles? Decisions, decisions...
Sign up and suit up.

:aok
12 hours of excitement. No real idea of what chaos and mayhem will happen. 3 sectors space between opposing bases for close quarter combat in the sky for best fighter brawling possible.

For this one, walk-on's welome or only registered?
As many others, I can't be sure that I'll be available, don't want to register and be a no show.
Would rather under-promise and over deliver. :salute
-
Walkons are welcome, I registered to get the aircraft I wanted.
-
Copy that! Hoping to be a part of this!
-
I will try, Saturdays are usually bad for me.

I'm confident our fearless leaders will ensure there's a ride for all who show up looking for adventure! :airplane:

I have a lot of planes available. The other side might have mechanical issue due to drunk mechanics. :devil

Are we there yet? 4 more days? Not sure I can handle this giddiness much longer :joystick:

Would be great if this could be marketed in the game somehow. I just don't think enough people who actually play are on the BBs. Most new players probably don't even know these special events take place...

THIS!!!! Hate how if pilots aren't on the boards, they could miss out on half the value this game has to offer. Telling you guys, just how a pop-up window appears when someone wants to join your aircraft, I'd like to see a pop-up reminder for special events for those in the MA.
Don't care, or have time, cancel the pop-up. Want to join, pop-up signs you out of MA and into special arena? Or I dunno, just an informational pop-up... Either way, I like the idea of making it easier for players to join a special event.
-
I suppose this is a good time to plug the Special Events FB page in. Give it a like, we try to post all events at least a day or so prior in case it slips your mind or you don't visit the boards for a few days.

Not a fan of pop up messages during fighting, but some people have the power to send different colour text messages across arenas or something, like is done just before the event. Would not hurt to send reminder messages like that some time in advance telling about the event and to check the forum for more info.
Also event calendar could be a bit more noob friendly IMHO.

you could always try making announcements during prime time on 200 in the MA or in the separate countries. it might help. ive suggested to the AVA staff to join in, and I will say something at Thursday night tank night for the event also.
If you are axis.... this Saturday will be too. :devil
Stay away from me, you big meanie!!! :airplane:

I'm sure a lot of people do miss them because they have no idea. I'm just asking for a simple calender that the CMs could edit which appears on the select arena menu. Perhaps people/squads could RSVP, which would also hype up the event. It would help people also be able to get in squads earlier for the event if they don't have one.
-
An effective way to get the word out would be to put a chalk board in the tower that lists upcoming events. Instead of a popup that a player clicks off and doesn't ever see again or spamming the text bar with begging, the chalk board would be seen by everyone, every single time they are in the tower.
