Gents; It's my pleasure to announce the formation of a new Squad created for all pilots of Allied A/C regardless of your current Main Arena country or squad association.
The Focus of the 1st AH/Allied Combined is to provide a locus in the SEA (Special Events Arena) and TA (Training Arena) for the dedicated Allied Aircraft enthusiats among us that would like to fly Pony's, Jugs, Lightnings, Spits such against their historical adversarys in an formal and/or informal venue.
It is hoped that we will find willing LW A/C enthusiasts to help organise events much like the upcomming P51 vs Fwa'5 Rumble in the Special Events Arena this Sunday. http://www.intergate.ca/personal/cwharton/intro.html (http://www.intergate.ca/personal/cwharton/intro.html)
Again.. the 1st AH/Allied Combined does not exist in the Main Arena.. the 1st's role is to provide a common association of Allied aircraft enthusiasts from ALL Main Arena squads and countrys to fly together as a unit against like minded LW enthusiasts in the Special Events, Historical (when we get it) and Training Arena's.
Membership in the 1st/AH Allied does not change or affect in any way your current squad affilliation in the MA and all squads are invited to join; but membership DOES indicate to one and all just who's airplanes you'd rather fly.
All members of the 1st AH/Allied have invite privledges; and to join you simply have to request membership from any other 1st AH/Allied pilot you see in either the SEA or the TA to join. Of course; you MUST fly Allied A/C.. you LW & IJN types.. go form yer own group.
Cya's up!

Good idea, Hang.
I only hope this is a step in right direction of getting a separate HA.
-
I'm in.
-
I'm in and i am sure i got some squad mate that would be interested too.
-
I like the idea (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
Allied of course (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

If we fly Lavochkins and Yakovlevs does that make us Allied too?

Leonid,
I'd sure think so! Welcome aboard!

Allied opportunists, how about a little suggestion:
Since we do not have a HA yet, we can make one in SEA.
Simply, let's follow our own rules.
For example, let Knight be Axis side. If you stick to the rules, being a Knight will make you an Axis pilot. You should only fly Luftwaffe, Reggia Aeronautica and IJA/IJN planes.
Let's say you want to fly for Allied opportunists. Then you switch to Bishops and are allowed to fly US, RAF and Soviet planes.
Forget about the Rooks for now, no 3 sides please.
Of course, some bending of the rules can be expected. Axis doesn't have a bomber or troop carrying plane, so we will have to fly those ugly things until we get better replacements. Allied will have to stick to the good tank type until they get their lousy Shermans or something else.
Moreover, unhistorical C Hog vs 109 combat will still be possible, but this would call for further rules refinements.
For now, let's stick to simple Allied vs Axis sides.
It is all up to you. If you agree, I am sure rest of JG 54 will gladly participate in this arena. Most of us are really sick of fighting Nikis or 109s in 190s.
I do not know if it is against HTC policy, but we would appreciate any CM help, limiting plane types from certain fields. If they agree, we could have separate Euro and Pacific sectors in the map.
Please post your responses ?
P.S.
Do not underestimate VVS, these guys are far from being opportunists.

LOL, hristo!

In, but unfortunately, somethings broke with invite priveleges, only CO's can invite, regardless of the permissions you give out, at least in my 2 squad experiences it has been that way.
-
Excellent idea. Hristo, are you going to form up the Intergalactic Axis Consortium? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
I'll be the first one to join. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Can't make it this Sunday (Airshow) But consider me up for it (Allied). Should have more time for AH in the near future (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Sounds cool! Count me in for when I can make it. I fly the P-47 almost exclusively so this will work out just fine.

I'm in..
i'm flying P38 exclusively right now, so I'll have to think if I want to go with the 190..

Hmmmmmmmmm.. Hristo; you amaze me yet again.. great idea. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I believe a CM can configure the SEA so that the third county has only one or 2 fields on the map; then they can deactivate those fields; effectively shutting the third country down. I suggest that A1 be neutralized. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Further; unless I'm mistaken; the CM's can also restrict the plane types available from any one field.. making it possible for F4u's to face IJN enabled fields...
Can a CM step in here and help us develop a 'template' for the SEA.. ?
Rip.. lets check with HTC on the squad invite thing; I've not yet had an opportunity to check it out.
Cheers!

Thunder, I absolutely love the nose art, however, it does look very U.S.A centric ... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
I won't even pretend that I'm artistic, but speaking as a wild colonial boy, I sure would appreciate some of the colours and symbols sported by other allied participants of the historic conflict.
Please don't think I'm being ungrateful or that I mean any disrespect!
Cheers
