Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have several items to go over about new events and schedules.
1st – We will be hosting a Snapshot this Friday the 5th instead of the first frame of the next TOD. We will use Sundogs new Burma Terrain and enjoy the classic match of the P-40B vs. A6M2.
Please log in early to download Burma if you have not. The Snapshot will start at 11 PM Eastern. Walk on’s are welcome as they are in all Snapshots.
Details of the event can be found here.
http://events.simladder.com/snapshot.php?snapshot_id=19Jordi is the hosting CM.
The Friday TOD will resume on the 12th. Admin CM is nifty and Setup is Pyroman. See the TOD forum for details.
2nd – This Sunday July 7th we will have our 3rd Frame of “Flames Over Malta”. Admin CM is bikekil and Setup CM is Flossy. We hope the bug with the Ju-88’s gunners crashing to desktop will be fixed by then. If not we will delay the 3rd frame one week till a patch is released.
The TOD team is
Sling, Skernsk, bikekil, flossy, GhstDncr, Grayarea, moose, Nifty, and Pyroman. 3rd – Wednesday the 3rd was the last time for Wild Wednesday, but due to the release of 1.10 the SEA was closed. It was a fun event while it lasted, but we are now going to run Snapshots and Races on Wednesday nights. So starting the 10th we will hold a Snapshot at 10 PM Eastern. The Snapshots and Races will rotate every week. For those that are relatively new to Aces High the Snapshots are single frame walk on welcome events. They usually last about one hour with a single objective for each side. The Races we have had were straight forward with everyone taking the same aircraft, fuel, and roll out direction. Pilots fly from one field to another, refuel and return to their home base. First to exit will win.
I am sure hosting CM’s will throw in some unexpected requirements at times. The Wednesday Snapshot team is
Nifty, hblair, madmax, and Nefarious.
4th – We have a new forum up for the
Battle of Britain that will be our next large scenario.
http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=118The dates for this are as follows:
- July 13th Registration will open as a First Come First Serve. It will open at 12 noon Eastern.
- July 13th Web page and event description going up.
- July 28th Registration will close.
- July 29th thru 31st slotting of flyers and the opening of Axis and Allied forums on the HTC BB.
- Aug 24th Frames 1 and 2
- Aug 31st Frame 3 and 4
Our current limit is 250 pilots in the SEA. We hope HTC will be able to increase this limit in the near future, but we were told to plan on only 250 players. In the event that you do not initially make it in, but wish to fly as a reserve if room becomes available, make sure the "reserve" box is checked.
On the heels of the Battle of Britain we have plans for Midway. Followed by Niemen, and Okinawa. We hope to run Midway before the year is out. Niemen, and Okinawa the first half of next year. Dependent on these being run will be the plane set HTC releases, but this is our current game plan.
The Scenario team is
Nash, banana, Aub, Tilt, Jordi, and BNg5th – If you have not registered for the Rumble do so now. Time is running out. This event designed by nash will take place on July 20th! See the forum for details.
http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=1166th - Starting July 27th we will open a new event on Saturday at 3 PM Eastern called Combat Air Patrol or CAP. This event will be a mix of the TOD and the old Check 6 event we used to have. CAP’s are open, walk on events that take place in the Special Events Arena (SEA) every Saturday at 3 PM Eastern with one Saturday off a month. Each frame will last two hours; pilot's scores are tracked and will be displayed at the end of each CAP Campaign, (3 weeks). Only the pilots FIRST life is tracked, so fly with every effort to land. Once a pilot is killed his score is set for that Campaign and no longer tracked It is the first life that counts. Unlike the TOD's and Snapshots pilots will have multiple lives, but reup windows are only every 30 minutes. There maybe some changes, but this will be the general format. The Saturday CAP team is
Swoop, Gremlin, Joker312, and Bigmax.
