Teamwork is the only reason and the main thrust behind AH Scenarios. A chance to work together with folks that you usually are shooting at, or have never come across in game. If you have never shared airspace with the guys in the Black Knights, or the Finns...well you have not experienced a Scenario to it's fullest. This is not to say that friendly competition is bad, no...but friendly and contained within the greater framework of the larger side effort...is the overriding concern, and reward when one participates in an AH event like this. I remember during DGSII the Finns and my boys found ourselves working together against the allied raiders and the common range vox transmission when encountering the enemy was, "We'll race ya!" .... That's the spirit of the event...not personal victories or accomplishments, but good natured hard fought action...alongside pilots you may never have flown a mission with before.
If you want awards...run down to the local trophy shop and order up some nice gestures for the guys who designed the event, the guys who host the event, and the guys who take on the side CO roles. All the rest of us here, are just recipients of their hard work and sacrificed time.
