Eh, the only scenario GV fight I've REALLY enjoyed was Stalin's 4th minus the derpy bridges. This one comes in second, but at a distance. Though shepherding might tarnish my viewpoint a bit. :D

I'm with Zoney here. The next time GV's are included in a scenario I will not participate if I'm going to be forced into them.
I think it's great that they are an option if someone wishes to participate in the ground war, but personally I do not really care for it.

I agree. while the tank fight last night was some of the most fun i've ever had in AH, I think the fact that the command staffs have to force some people into tanks to meet the ten-person limit is not cool. keep the original rules, have dedicated gv groups and present tanking as an option if you have used both your lives. we shouldn't have to yank people from flying to meet a limit.

You are not forced into them. There is a Quit button located on the clipboard map for your convenience.

It was done due to low number of registrants. If we had 50 more people per side, it wouldn't be an issue.

im with spikes on this. i believe if we had the full numbers there would've been no issues at all with this. although a few volunteered for the GV aspect i know not everyone loves a GV.

From an Axis perspective, I've tried not to make it clear that no one is to be 'forced' into a GV role if they absolutely don't want to do it.  In fact, we've had a few that didn't want to GV so they just stayed in their airplanes.  The whole purpose of these scenarios is to have fun.  I'll try to reinforce this in frame 4. 

It was a bloody knife fight in the streets of the city center island last night!  Despite not spending much time in a GV in frame 3, I'd have to give it a 10+.  It was definitely the funnest GV battle I've ever been in!

The dilemma is that scenarios are designed with GVs as a clutch to the gameplay after people beg and beg for such a design, then nobody signs up for them. (This is Aces High, afterall, right? smugsmug) Then they complain when the design has to be shoehorned to deal with it; having to "volunteer" people for GV duty and having to delay the effort until T+90 in order for there to be enough GVs to last until frame end are good examples.
so you're the one i've been facing off with command wise on the ground front :noid "hat tip" <S>
Dantoo's been helping along like he can't seem to avoid, but that's mostly just approving or slightly tweaking my strategies, then working them in with timing (which is lovely because that's the bane of my existence). :p I haven't been beaten nearly as badly as some of the aerial plans.
I wasn't there last night as I was volunteering serving lobster and steak dinners for the Eagles. In fact, neither of our P-47 groups had their GLs. So our command structure may have been a bit wobbly; I haven't heard the derief and am afraid to look at the logs. :D

:lol this would explain the GV fight now. i was going to say the Frame 2 fight was well worth the wait and Frame 3 was a blast to plan for and put into action. :aok

I had actually written up multiple strategies and battle plans for that Frame 3 fight. wish you were there for the fight it was a brawl in that city...

When I'm told to report for GV duty after the first sortie, it sure feels like I'm being forced. I shouldn't have to use the quite button when I still have a life in planes.

If enough people do not sign up for the ground war maybe the ground war part should be dropped.
