Salute again gentlemen from the =AVG=

[AVGWarren]

Salute one and all, hopefully you fellows might be able to join us this time around. Server settings are slightly different and this campaign is shaping up to look instence.

Wings~of~War invites you guys to our little battle over Normandy. Huge invasion force showing up in waves over many days, also a few huge Heer forces heading to the coast to repeal the landing forces before they organize and move inland. It will take a few days this time for the ground war to be in full effect. Im sure it will get crazy with all the ground units fighting around day 3 and 4.

Here is the basic sales pitch and format............ If you are interested, please stop by the forums and sign up, thank you very much for your time.

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 January 26th.

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 some kinks to work out, this is our first large scale ground invasion from the sea so this should be very interesting. 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 campaigns, and swapping sides or using completely different formats would not be an issue in the future.

Aircraft sets, ordinance load outs, map, server difficulty settings, etc. are all open for suggestion for future campaigns. 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.


This campaign is based off the Normany invasion. Invited squadrons are Escuadron 401, Noobs Gone Wild, F.K.R. Air Corps, RCAF_FB, the 422nd., VA Squadron, JG52, B.O.P., The Tempest Union, Flak Us, Redwulf Squadron, JG27, Rogue Saints, JG53, the Fallen Angles Squadron and the American Volunteer Group.

If you have a sister squadron that would also like to be involved, please pass this along to them as well. While any interested squadron is welcome to join, this is an invitation only event. All they have to do is get in touch with us.

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 bundled T-1 connection using FB Daemon II (FBD2) 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, 26 January 2009 and will go offline at 0001 hours; 12:01 p.m. Eastern Standard Time the following Monday, 2 February 2009. The server will reset every two hours to keep the Wings of War Generated Mission Objectives current and up to date. A two hour session 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 battle 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.

Rules

1.) Each participating squadron must have 1 Representative registered on at the Wings~of~War Forum.

2.) All participants must be listed as an active squadron member on their website's roster.

3.) There will be a limit of 30 pilots per side in the server at any one time.

4.) All pilots will fly with the appropriate markings

Scoring

Points are awarded depending upon what happens to the plane that you shoot at in each combat. Points are awarded differently based on what happens to the enemy aircraft that you targeted and whether it is destroyed in the air, force-lands, crash lands at a friendly base or another aircraft intercepts it on its return journey to base. The last plane to shoot into the enemy aircraft will be awarded the kill points. If ground units also hit the target and no air hits were achieved the ground unit is regarded as the killing unit. If the targeted plane does not disintegrate but lands successfully the score is ignored. Pressing "Re-Fly" adds the points achieved in the last sortie to the score.

Scoring is based on the default values for targets. A list of target values can be found here; Target Values. You must survive and RTB to get 100% of your score. If you are forced to land outside of the boundaries of an allied airbase you will be awarded 70% of your score. You will be awarded 50% of your score if you bail out. You will only be awarded 10% of your score if you die in combat.

Sit Out Times

The Wings~of~War Server is set up to govern itself meaning that the sit out times, aircraft ordnance load outs, etc., are handled by the Dynamic Campaign Generator and FB Daemon II.

Death/Capture Penalty: 15 minutes

Good luck with your event.  Sounds like a fun and interesting format.
