Title: The Battle of Britain in the AVA--3/1/19 thru 3/14/209

The Battle of Brittan in the AvA

This is a classic air only setup, and it's well worth your attention.

Most of us know the story. Hitler considered England a threat to his plans for the conquest of Europe and when she refused to negotiate a peace, he decided to suppress or conquer her. The first stage of that plan called for air supremacy over the English Channel and southern England, to be followed by landings of German troops along the English coast.

The Battle of Brittan, so famously named by Winston Churchill, raged in the air from July, through mid September 1940.

Come join us in the AvA for a great setup.

Axis Planeset, in France, Knights:

This must be a test to see who actually logs into the AvA. The map is right but the Brits have no active aircraft on the two fields I selected (a1 and another). I thought about checking to see if somehow the Firefly and Panther could fly but that's just wrong.  :D

Let me get ahold of another AVA staffer. I am at work at the moment and can't check in it.

No hurry or worry. I was checking it out for later and possible recruitment of players to lure.

The planeset is enabled and countries can fly. However, the rest of the arena settings should be checked. Dar, killshooter etc.

Spit Is and Sea Hurricanes active on Brit side. I'm just curious if the latter should be Hurri Is (which aren't active). I've no checked out the German side, yet.  :)

Although I've been a stranger, AvA is and will always be my first love. I've decided to start promoting it again.  :)

And in particular, the wind.  It's still set up for Monday Night Madness, so there is a howling wind above 4k that makes the arena very unhistorical.

I will be home on about an hour. I am going to pull the current setup down and rebuild it.

Thanks for the heads up with all of the issues!

It happens. I'm hoping some players will discover some AvA fun this weekend. I plan to participate. Too pooped tonight.

No apology needed. In fact... thank you for stepping up. The teething problems will work themselves out with a little time.

Yup.  There are a lot of things that have to be done each time a new setup is installed.  Used to say to myself, "You know, you really ought to make a checklist.  Then you wouldn't forget anything."  Somehow, that just never happened.

Thanks for doing this, Ciaphas.  It's a big job.
