Does anyone want to joust my mossie?

I'm not sure about my aim in closing joust angles, but i rekon I'll have the firepower to compensate.
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

If you want to do it right, do it in B-25Hs, 75mm guns only no .50 cals.

Ack-Ack if you're interested I'm going to put you at the top of the list for future CM's. Posts like the one above show you understand and appreciate the art of the joust. It's just brilliant.

Karaya is my second choice because of his storied joust with Mensa.  Obviously he understands te difference between a joust and a HO.

Discuss.

I would like to. We could record the joust and post them on here so ppl could actually see the difference between a joust and a HO.

Ranger, that is a great start. The walls should be shear and no more than 300 yards apart though. I like the clouds in the valley. That could be incorporated for a nice touch.

The Whitehouse will remain white but I'm going to have the Oval Office redone to look like the tower in AH. That way I won't be afraid to face tough challenges and 1v1's with other heads of state because I will just tell myself, "What's the big deal? If I lose it'll just be a trip to the tower and then I'll try again".

I have decided that I will require a 109-K4 painted in the Air Force One scheme for my transportation.  I will be my own pilot (of course).

K4ce One?

I have given this question the most thought above all other issues when I realized that I will be getting a nomination to run for the Presidency.  I have decided that I will require a 109-K4 painted in the Air Force One scheme for my transportation.  I will be my own pilot (of course).

  :old:  :old: If ranger ran colored ribbon/banister 20 feet wide buy 2' deep floating down the middle of his map that was suspended 50 feet off the ground.  :t then each pilot could ride down with the banister on their left side,  :airplane: with their wing passing over the top of it.  :joystick: this would put them at the same alt and in the right range to grab a snap shot at their opponent as they closed in.  :headscratch:  :banana:  :banana:

if your below the banister or higher than say 10' above it then you are disqualified  :huh  :headscratch:

if your wing tip is not over the banister before the range of 600 from your opponent then you are disqualified  :huh :headscratch:

if the fuselage of your plane crosses over the banister your disqualified  :huh :headscratch:

you make 3 passes (like in jousting of old)  :neener:  :neener:  :neener: at your opponent or until one is destroyed (unhorsed)  :cry if neither are destroyed at the end then each person receives 1 point per damaged part on their opponents ride.  :O at the end of each pass each pilot flies to a turn around and then comes back with the banister always on their left.

ammo should be limited so there is no spraying and praying from 1000 out. say each ride has 0 BBS and no more than 30-50 cannon rounds. a quick burst in the ma is usually less than 10 rounds and that's all you really have time for per pass.  :airplane: :headscratch: :joystick: :airplane:

the joust will boil down to convergence, rudder skill and knowing when to pull the trigger. most points or destroyed (unhorsed) opponent at the end of three passes wins. run video for verification by the CM that the joust was performed in accordance with the rules.  :x :rock :x :airplane: :joystick: :airplane:

discuss  :devil :angel: :devil

There has been a lot of 200 Chatter recently about "HOing" and "Jousting" and I want to address the misconceptions soon.  SunBat and I will be posting films that show the difference between the two so there is no misunderstanding.  Stay tuned.

End Discuss until film.
