the difference

[gpwurzel]

Spot on post Storch - having only flown in the AvA once (and gotten my backside handed to me severely) - the standards of pilots in there is much higher than the MA's.

That said - which side needs me to handicap them?

Can someone explain this a little more?  Or give an example of how this works?

Pretty please?

Impossible to tell what ya need clarification with GMan.

Lets say the War is five weeks long.  At the beginning of first week, planes are assigned by staff, and objectives given to the sides.  At the end of the week, the side achieving all of their and/or more objectives than the other is declared a winner.  Air to Air and other types of "Combat scores", mean nothing.

Now there is a Master Plane set given by the Staff before the War, which encompasses the entire set available throughout the five weeks, including transport, AAA and other vehicles as well. In order, Early to Late war production.

The side that wins week #1 gets to pick (4) new "rides" GV's included, to go into the next week (historical rough equivalent of a year or so) with.  The losing side of week #1 only gets to pick (3) new rides to go into week # 2 with, simulating the fortunes of war, on production, economic base and man power etc...

This continues for five weeks, regardless if one side sweeps in three.  Best out of five "Wins the War".

Dat help?

[Anaxogoras]

Yes, that helps.  I think what confused me was trying to figure out how this would work for the current BoB setup.

[Stampf]

I thought that might be the case.

It was Herr Storch's objective to give visitors a general State of the Arena message here, rather than the details of the current War.  This BoB War is unique, in that it can end in a single week if and when one side takes and holds 20 enemy fields through the Thursday eve, of the week.
