The Allied will be the Germans right?

I updated our red preference to either theFW190F8 or Bf110G2

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Just wondering cause in the FSO Description, it states "Allied vs Axis" not the other way around :aok

How come we don’t include who is allied & axis in the "Setup"?  A good place to put it would be in any of these subjects 'Side Assignments:', 'Special Information:', or 'Field Order:'

One more observation of how the "Setup" could be better, would be to add the dates that the FSO will take place.  I know you can look for the dates on the calendar & the AHII BBS, but in the out-line of the event/setup would be nice.

Hi Bino. By “scenario” I am assuming you mean Squad Operations design, because there is a significant difference between a Scenario design and a Squad Operations design.

In FSO we would never setup a Marianas Turkey Shoot because it would be fun for one side and not much fun for another. In FSO the Admin CM’s (the guys that design the event) aim for historical game play, but not at the sacrifice of the fun factor. It is important that both Allied and Axis sides have a reasonable chance of winning the tour. For the average player winning the tour is not a priority, but simply engaging the enemy with his squaddie and having some success. Success for the average player might be an assist or two, maybe a kill, or even just landing at the end of the frame with most of his squadies. The points and victory conditions we use in FSO are there just to give structure toward the end result which is a victory for the Allied or Axis side. If we did not have an ultimate goal (achieving victory by points or objectives met) then FSO would be nothing more than the MA with historical match up’s.

Could we design an FSO in the Pacific that was at the time period of the Marianas Turkey Shoot? You bet, but we would add more fighters (less Val’s and Kate’s) to the IJN side so both sides could have a chance of winning the tour. Both sides would have fun and both sides would enjoy some historical match up’s in the Pacific.



Exactly, in the end the above is the "mission" of FSO.

Does that mean that both sides will always be perfectly equal? No, but it does mean that we will never intentionally have a totally lopsided event.

In this event, both the Allies (Russians) and the Axis (Germans), have some advantages and disadvantages to work around. It is up to the CiC's and the squad CO's, to play into their advantages while taking advantage of the other sides disadvantage.

Does that make sense? :)

Hmm, I guess we have always assumed that everyone knew who was "Allied" and "Axis" in WWII. Obviously an incorrect assumption. Easily corrected.

A good suggestion. We can do that.

I kindda thought Germany would be the Axis but as I was looking into stuff on the ahevents.org site it is stated different ways.  Thank you sir.

Thanks for the replies, everyone!

You confirmed what I had understood from previous posts in here: the events in FSO are intended to give each side a fighting chance.  It seems that there are some different opinions on how to get to that point, in relation to the various planes and tanks.  Boy, it sure would help if more planes and GVs were added to AH.  Yup, it sure would.  

But we all seem to have the same objective for FSO: a fun, fair fight.
