Title: death star setup
Post by: captain1ma on March 13, 2025, 08:16:27 AM

Hi all,
   im thinking of doing a deathstar setup where one side is task with destroying something. it will be in a canyon. there will be bases and ack on the canyon rim, so you would have to stay below the canyon rim. the twist is the other side would have to defend the target and can go above and into the canyon. the trick is im going to make the canyon with choke points in some spots.

your thoughts?

"Switch your deflectors on. Double front."

"Stabilize your rear deflectors. Watch for enemy fighters."

"Red5, standing by"

Sounds like it could be a pretty fun skrimish with about 10 guys, 5 on each side or so hopefully. More the merrier but it's tough to get guys in there. (Another reason why I posted a wish list item to be able to name the special event on the clipboard so people know what's going on.. 

Canyon fights are a lot of fun and the extra mission of destroying something may provide more than just a furball so it could be interesting.   :aok

This would be pretty sweet jaeger… can you model a couple new planes too while you’re at it? Shouldn’t take too much time

I thought this was going to be about having a fully manned B-17.  :old:

Any fights locked in a canyon seem to always be fun. I miss the canyons we used to have to setup fights in.

I remember when the old AvA had the canyon fighting area… very exciting and nail biting. Even if we don’t have canyons doing MNM on some kind of hilly terrain would be very exciting. The buildings are great don’t get me wrong, but having some rolling hills to utilize would be awesome
