Sounds like it could be a lot of fun. I propose putting on a smaller maps so it condenses the action a bit. I presume would be AvA? I imagine sorta of an unorganized take off at your own pace kinda fight? Or do you think more of a scenario style where both sides roll at the same time with their squads (harder to organize). After one target is captured then could move objective to another field. Change up the sides so now the other team has to defend, ect.
If bases are closer together than that would make it easier for the attacking team rather than have to fly 20 minutes to the attack field every time and then fly back which takes players out of the fight longer.

Just some things to consider but definitely sounds like it would be fun with 20 players or so.

Is this another of those things where we have to wear a uniform.... or is clothing optional?

Sunday European Campaign Setup and suggestions
« Reply #7 on: December 16, 2024, 08:18:52 PM »
so heres what i got. please comment on likes or dislikes.

Battle of britain:

Duration- 1.5 hours.

first Running  SUNDAY JAN 5th, 2025
Start time will be 3pm EST. 9pm UTC.

Allies:
spit1
Hurricane1

Axis:
BF-109E-4
BF-110C-4
Stuka
HE111
JU88

objective:
Axis: bomb a base and a port down to 50% or less and you're awarded the base.
Allies: defend

Air spawns:
Axis will get a 4k airspawn/spawns
allies will get a 5k airspawns

ceiling is 6k with a 127mph updraft to the north. the idea is to keep the fights Low.

if the axis fail to bomb down the base, then at the next one, the allies will be given bombers to try to get a beachhead.

icons:
3k friendly/ 1k enemy
wind north and 127mph above 6k
Ack 2
manned Guns active

please let me know what you like and dont like about this setup.

I’d up both the air spawns and alt cap to 12k and 18k respectively and remove the man guns.

Yeah the manned guns are a rather large drawback in my opinion.

the idea is to keep the fights low, thats why the low ceiling. as for the manned guns, i figure they probably wont be used considering the bombers but they can be omitting for this one. eventually i would like to activate them for base defense.

6k is to low, at least make it 12k.

Depends on how many ppl show up..

The 4k alt limit in MNM helps concentrate the action...considering 5 on each side is a bunch, the action needs to be concentrated by limiting the playing space in all directions..

ok we'll skip the manned guns for this round. lets give it a try and we can tweak it depending on the player base. if we get more players we'll raise the ceiling a little. for now, lets try it out with full critiquing and figure out how to make it better!

base and town take down will be an objective. as will defense and even offense.

the only reason i dont have the english trying to take a base is because its battle of britain. after this one, that will probably change.
