I think you need to figure out what it is that you want the CT to be.  Then naming it would be easy.  Right now is a mini MA with a limited planeset and a lot of BS.  If you are looking for a mini MA then go in the MA and limit your plane sets and pick your fights.  If not, then, well, what is it supposed to be?  I think thats the problem now.  I for example don;t know what it is other than what I said above.  Why go there if it is not going to be different?

Always the best numbers on that map because all the finn's go in there and fly round as a little hoard (not saying that it is a bad thing).

Well.

Going out on a limb here,  I propose "Axis v. Allies Fightertown."

I would even leave the bombers intact.  No one flies them anymore as is (where is PropNut in his Japanese bomber?).

I would retain Axis v. Allies.  Initially I would have a 1945 plane set, I suppose, Russian, English, and American on one side, German, Italian and Japanese on the other.

Then I would have a rolling plane set, perhaps every two weeks, early war, mid war, late war, all axis on one side, all allied on the other.

I would make all bases within a sector of the original lines capturable, all other bases uncapturable (assuming that can be done...show's how much I've learned as a CM).

I would advertise heavily that this is the arena for furballers.  I have given up on my hope that this arena can be something for everyone.

What do you think?

Hiya Oldman,

I like it , But I wouldn't just restrict the marketing to "furballers" , more broadly people who want to get in planes and fight. Furballing is not the only way of having a good fight


Also score is an issue, only because many people like to play for score and
there's not enough people in the CT to have a total ground/air/sea war thing going, and the  need to do that to get a good score , spreads the players too thinly at times. You log in with 15 people on the roster , and about 5 are flying.

There's no harm in trying it for a few month's is there ?

Let's be honest -- the CT won't fill up with a name change. If you want more people, you have to offer something different from the MA.

And the times I've gone to CT its been the MA with fewer people and fewer plane choices. Same vulching, ganging, milk running, score chasing, (and occasional ego flapping) we can see any night in the MA.

It would be great if the CT really offered a more historical feel. What it felt like, though, to this non CT flyer, was the MA with historical maps, populated by guys who'd been in the Club for a long time.
