JG1 is proud to present the Tanks In Flames Online War!
For those unfamiliar with JG1’s “in Flames” events, these homegrown online tournaments have a long history within the virtual combat sim community.  Flanders In Flames (FIF), our WW1 event, was started in October 1999 and is currently run in Rise of Flight and Flying Circus.
Tanks In Flames (TIF) is a combined arms tournament for the IL-2 Great Battles series.  At its core is the desire to create a realistic campaign experience.  Emphasis is placed on creating historically-inspired dogfights, tank battles, and matchups.  Coordination between players is vital, and the repercussions of attrition and lost resources heavily affect the outcome of campaigns.
 
TIF is a "dead-is-dead" style event for aircraft. This means that each player will only have one pilot life per night. If the player is killed, or captured, they are done as a pilot for that mission.  However, all participants will have unlimited lives as tail gunners and tankers.
Further, TIF does not make use any type of scripted missions.  As a result, tournament play can flow naturally between the two established teams – the Blue Team and the Red Team.  Note that neither the Blue Team or the Red Team represent an in-game side (Axis or Allied).  Side switching is built into the event!  Further, both teams have their own command, and it is these individuals who determine what the operation tasking orders will be for each side.
To win a campaign in TIF, a team will need to damage and destroy targets to allow friendly ground forces to capture territory.  Capturing territory gives a team points.
More information regarding the Tanks In Flames tournament specifics can be found here.  Additionally information will be posted over the coming weeks.
For now, please feel free to post, ask questions, and check out the sign-up thread (which will open Friday, 5 March 2021).

Sorry I couldn't make it, and I will not be there for next weeks as well..damn vacations!  😃  But we will do all we can to help promote this project. I hope more of our guys, as well as some of the community can join next weeks mission.  The problem has always been getting people to commit to a specific time slot.  

Guys, I had a good time tonight. It will be even more fun once the group of participants gets bigger. A great start!

I just wanted to let you guys know that there will not be a scheduled mission for our Combined Arms on our usual Sunday at 2:30 PM, September 20th, as I will be on vacation.  So if you are still interested in hosting a test mission for your new tank concept, you could post the event in our event calendar for SCG members to sign up.  I can give Buttzell, or GenMarkof007 the ability to list those events on our site events calendar as well.
Just thinking how we can come together more on these kinds of issues.

Thank you all for your kind words regarding CorZero.  Life moves on, but damn in the process we really lose some great people along the way and we are really going to miss his friendly voice on our comms.  
 
Thanks again JG1

Please accept my condolences also to all of SCG, Diana, Joe's family and all who knew him. So very sad to lose another compatriot in this hobby that has so many rewards beyond the gaming. Many of us are at that certain age that it's comforting to know that we will be remembered by our friends in the community upon our taking that last flight.

Blue skies Joe!
