   Maybe have no axis planes up until tanks reach half way point, then at the time the axis are allowed to up fighters, an allied base closer to the action opens up. I did like the lack of ord though, as it gave the tankers hope.

   It ended as a major axis victory, but the allies were under-manned.

   The next AvA event I do will likely be a late war bomber run against a city.

Make it B17s, and on a sunday, and my whole squad will be there!

It was a lot of fun, Filth, as always.  What time did the Afrika Korps reach home?

Here's an idea. but before I present it I'll say it was fun enough but it was fun for the axis, I suspect less so for the allieds. to the allied players for their participation in a tough assignment.

we should re run it but give the allieds the T34 P40 and the A20G as well as all of the Hurri fighters but limit the number of HurrIIcs or else that's all they'll be in.

give the axis the 202  110C4b and the 109E4.

also give the axis a more difficult objective, they must capture a vbase en route that has ack up and maybe two defenders in any GV but no vehicles can respawn from.  the allied forces must run to defend it, the premis being the axis need to capture the fuel stores in order to proceed to victory by landing at the designated base.

OM it was after 11 et sometime. I drove it in 50 minutes offline. The combat added a bit of time to it.

  Storch that sounds cool. Put her together!

  I gotta say, the small group we have really pick things up quickly and play nice together. :)

Sounds like it went well --

Was hoping to join in, but "Mrs. Brauno" was unexpectedly called off to some ultra-necessary womanly mission somethingorother (and by my mother, no less), and thus I was stuck on baby duty.  :cry

Not having been there, but only judging from the setup, it looks like you really wanted to showcase the Hurri IId as a GV buster.  To Storch's point, some kind of "true fighter" cover for the GV busters probably would have helped the Allied cause.  It's been a long time since I tried out a IId, but my recollection is it was not well suited for dogfighting.

Looking forward to the next one. :aok

Ya maybe a Huuri2c with it and a comparable axis plane. I'd like to try it again someday with improvements.

I'm sorry, I showed up Thursday, 12, at 10:15 GMT in AvA and nobody was there. Looked at SEA and nothing...Was the time GMT? Am I going crazy?
How could I miss it?
