Salute from the =AVG=

[AVGWarren]

loll Awesome website.

Good afternoon and salute!

I am writing this to you as the Operations Office representative of the IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 squadron, the American Volunteer Group or the =AVG=.

We would like to invite your squadron to a multiple squadron based "mini-campaign" for a week long, 24/7 war. Starting Novemeber 3.

What we are thinking is that we could get a few squadrons together and just have it out in a locked campaign, T-1 server for a week. The campaign would be automatically generated and the map would reset every couple of hours to show the completed mission objectives to date. Nothing serious, we are sure there will be a lot of kinks to be found; to be worked out in the first week's campaign. We are sure some things will and won't work the way that they are supposed to, but this won't be a single event. We would like to continue doing these week long wars, and swapping sides or using completely different formats would not be an issue.

Aircraft sets, ordinance load outs, map, server difficulty settings, etc. are all open for suggestion. We would like to keep it in some historical sense but with a huge effort in making it challenging for all, yet keeping the campaign winning objectives very balanced.

There will be something for everybody no matter the time of day/night or week. Naturally, separate scores would be tracked for the campaign.

We are just looking to see if there is any interest from your organization and or suggestions to make it more appealing to your squadron's members.

Our first theme will be Japan and America, so far the follwing squadrons are on board. NGW, TTU and the FKD.

If you have a sister squadron that would also like to be involved, please pass this along to them as well.

Thank you very much for your time and we look forward to your replies!!!

Wings of War is a continuous 24 hour, 7 day dynamic campaign for IL-2 Sturmovik:1946 4.08m on a T-1 connection using IL-2 Server Commander (IL-2SC) and Lowengrin's Dynamic Campaign Generator (DCG). The Wings of War Server will go online at 0001 hours; 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Monday, 3 November 2008 and will go offline at 0001 hours; 12:01 p.m. Eastern Standard Time the following Monday, 10 November 2008. The server will reset every two hours to keep the Wings of War Generated Mission Objectives current and up to date. A two hour mission will equal one campaign day. At the end of the one week period we will tally the scores to determine the victor.

The victory conditions and objectives for each mission are determined by the mission generator. The briefing will contain reports of conflicts in various areas of the map. You will need to fly in defense of your ground units as they will be attacked by enemy on the ground and in the air. Reports of the previous day's activity will be displayed along with the mission briefing.

S~. thanks for posting the invite. 


   it will take a couple of days to find out how much interest we might have in this.. i can  never tell what we might go for. 

[_AH_Moggy]

Well, it sounds interesting to me.  One possible sticking point:  I suspect that not a few guys won't want to fly it with no icons & no padlock.  If I'm wrong about that, great.  If I'm right, but they're (as Warren says) willing to be flexible on those, I'd recommend that we give it a try  -- or at least put it to a vote.

[_AH_BBQhead]

S~.  I've added a poll.. please vote.     

[_AH_Col._Hogan]

Sounds interesting.

[_AH_Boosher]

Sounds like fun, but I'm going to sit out for this. I can't guarantee my hours, due to school work, and my ping is way too high for a competition.

[_AH_Duff4r]

I like this stuff...Breaks the monotony.  Gives us something to plan and look forward to....kinda like BBQ's BBQ
