Where Fur and Strat Collide...

Who in their right mind would pay to be in the resupply/transport squad?

Rude boi!!!!!  In my best Rhasta voice, you stepped into that one son.  MuckMAW summed it up just fine.  Now go clean your shoes and watch yourself next time.

Who wants to be a catcher in a recreational softball team?

It's not the most glorious position, and rarely see's the limelight in defense. Yet people pay money every year to play catcher in a recreational softball team.

They're known as team players.

Goon drivers are very well respected in our squad, and in squads like ours. Without them, obviously, base capture would be impossible. We rely on their ability to snake through canyons, fly at tree top level, and get to the drop, undetected and often unescorted.

For the 1 minute when the goon is on final, and we're fighting to suppress the airfield, or stave off enemy planes, the goon driver is the center of attention and probably receives the most recognition in accomplishing a difficult capture.

Team players, plain and simple.

The MAW's are very good at what they do. BUT...

There are certain individuals of the squad that tend to spend time in the weeds..

That's all, not sayin names..

Don't want to stir anything up and make someone have to change there signature.

Poop-

I can say for a fact, most, if not all the MAW enjoy a good low alt furball. Some of us, like Ice, Slapshot, 40 are much better at it than others.

We've got 5 of 7 days to mix it up furballing, and when we don't have time to run missions, that's what most of us do.

Nothing to hide there. On squad nights, we do what we specialize in; base capture. The other 5 days, we do whatever we want. No matter, we always have a great time flying together, and when you get right down to it, thats the point of the game and of being in a squad.

A lot of mature adults play games. Chess, for example. Checkers, even.

AH is simply a game, like many others.

I play Chess a bit. I've never referred to myself as a Grand Master, however, on any Chess BBS.

For one real good reason...... I've never been anywhere close to being a Grand Master. I'd correctly be seen as a wannabe poseur.

Hope that clears things up, Oberst.

Muckmaw you couldn't have sank the CV without the cooperation of the CV captian . I give him at least half credit .

Suicide CV pilots are just as big of a problem as suicide bomber pilots .

There were no Kamikazee boat captains in WWII .

Apache, Lazs,

That was a fun fight 'till somebody sank the CV.

Contrary to what people said at the time it was not back in half an hour.  I returned to the field in half an hour and took off in a Spit IX just in time for two P-38Ls to come in and kill all the fuel.  Due to my low enegy situation I couldn't do anything about it besides take wild snapshots.  I did get one eventually, but not until the base was fully porked.

Sometimes I enjoy doing the strat thing.  When I feel the need to do the strat thing I bomb a city, a factory complex or some field's town.  The reasons I sometimes enjoy the strat game are:

1) It is a change of pace, more leisurely and requiring different skills.

2) To have fun shooting at fighters from a bomber.  That is why I usually fly the Ki-67 as my bomber of choice.

3) To try for accurate bombing.  It doesn't matter what I hit so long as it has some effect on the game so it does not behoove me bomb fields / CVs that are being actively used for furballing fun.

Can't see the big deal here. We all pay our $15 a month and how we chose to play the game should be up to that individual. I personally love the stratigic aspect of the game. Want to furball go to the DA IMHO. Keep up the good work MAW, and just go have fun the way you guys want. Not the way someone else thinks you should.

Now there's a quote for the ages..

Muck, I have Slap on film, I'll send it..

Unless the agreed price for losing it has been met. I wasn't going to hit him up too much..

Just a little contribution towards the price of a brand new CAR !!!

Mrs. Scott here...
Just wanted to say that there will be no saluting and calling Scott Colonel in THIS house.

(Jeez, Hooligan, don't encourage him)

Hey, Mrs. No Poop. How's the baseball bat training going? Thinking of applying shock therapy here.

We had squadrons because the squadron BBS offered a nice and easy place to post porn.  Now that they have taken that away, I am not sure why we have them at all.

Poop-

One of us is not understanding the other. I'm really not sure which it is.

I've already said most MAW enjoy mixing it up in low alt furballs. Some are better than others.

So Slappy fights in low alt furballs. So do I.

So the question is...

Whats your point?

The CV was doing everything it can to avoid the bombs. We were not going to let it get away no matter what it did. 2 of the 3 salvos missed. Of course, that was the plan as we knew the CV had to go in one of 3 directions. We just bombed all 3.

There was no Suicide, if you are referring to us. We dropped, hit, and RTB'd. You'll never see my Bomber Group dive bombing in Heavies, or flying Suicide Jabo on Squad night. The other 5 nights, players can do whatever they want, though I doubt you'll see it then, either.

muck... the reason that you lose to such a small squad like the TAS when you have such a large pool of "talent" to choose from is because...

flying like you guys do you will never get better.   The TAS may look like they are independent melle but.. they are working well together.. they do it as well as anyone.  when they flew 51's they were doing it in a much less harried way (had more time) less was happening.   They are learning how to do it in a furball SA stretching environment..  You just don't notice because... well because you lack the ability to see it.

Plus.... fun squads attract the talented.  How many former TAS or BK's for instance have joined the maw?   We will continue to siphon off your best and brightest.
