As our numbers have dwindled over the last few missions and look to stay low while the Crete SEOW runs.
I’ve decided to start a new campaign where we are all in the same Squadron.
The campaign starts mid summer 1917 and will run until Xmas.
To make things interesting and give us a goal to shoot for I’m introducing some features.
Scoring: It will essentially still be a dead is dead campaign. But there will be a total kill score. Each kill gets a point. A pilot death will result in 2 points being subtracted.
Career progression: If you achieve ace status (5 kills in one life) you will be given the oppotunity to request a favoured aircraft from the ministry as your personal mount. This will only last while your vPilot survives. On death you will revert to the Squadron standard mount. Which at this point is a Sopwith Pup.
The campaign is running from Pat Wilson’s latest build, using high density settings.
Anyone interested will need to let me know so I can add you to the Squadron roster.
I’ve added by default
Splash
WB
Keets
Oz
Swoop
Marsh
Puff
Myself (of feking course)
Please let me know if you can or cannot fly and I will drop you from that days sortie.
First mission is tonight (21:30 UK), a patrol along the lines north of our base with a brief incursion over enemy lines.
Enemy in this region consist of Alb DIII.
Sounds great Brigs. I like the ‘addons’.
Really looking forward to this one but will miss out tonight due to a late shift.
Good luck.
WB.
Yep in, hopefully the computer plays ball.
So Von Splash will rise again?

Not in this campaign.
Von Splash is on leave until at least Xmas
He’s been executed by the war crimes assembly in the Hague.
I would lke to join this campaign, but can’t make it on a regularly basis. Right now im on holidays and will be back next week.
No probs Paf, I’ll add you. Just let me know when you intend to fly.
Wont manage this evenings outing, but will be back to normal next week
Thx Brigstock. Good mission, great fun.
Bugger missed this and away for the next. In after that though.
Any chance of making a small caveat that once you become an Ace and get your choice plane, you can stick with that even if you die. You have to become an Ace again to change it? (This might encourage learning your new plane to Ace status).
Cant wait for this one Brigs, not sure if I will be on Thursday tho, Ill keep you updated.
Sorry mate, we’re doing it this way to make people behave in a more realistic way. Wiping the slate when dead means starting out again. If you’re an Ace with a personal mount, you’re less likely to throw it away.
Oz, you read the date from a US point of view 8/10 mean 8th Oct. Mission was last night, next one is next Monday.
Last night was a cracking mission.
