November 16, 201510 yr comment_18032 S! All Looking at a time line for this next FiF. Holidays are fast approaching. Superbowl will be here before you know it. This will put us on hold for a few weeks At present we have a January start date. Wen Jan 6 and Sat Jan 9 for dry run, Wen Jan 13, Sat Jan 16 for first session. We will be using the Channel map and some of the faster planes. The new missions from the preview will be included. That will give us 12 objectives per side. Scenario: 1917, the war has been going badly for the Central countries. The Kaiser abdicates and new leadership is needed. An enterprising industrialist steps up to take over. Lex Luther, owner of LexCorp, seizes the opportunity. He launches a bold plan and invades England. Kent is captured. LexCorp forces are marching on Clark. The Planet faces a daily peril from the never ending onslaught. All is not lost. General Malcom Lois rallies the British forces for a counter attack. Can Lois rescue Clark and save the Planet? Will Kent be free? Tune in to FiF XXIII to see what happens. In the mean time we have some missions we can run that are a little bit different. These are not FiF missions. They are a dynamic scenario where land is captured. They are the result of a concept proposed by JG1_Shulte_J10, call sign Moxie. They bear his call sign as tribute. Here is how they work. Each team has a middle area. At first this is the only area that shows on the map. In that area are four bomber targets and one recon target. The targets are divided into two north and two south. When the two targets in the south are destroyed, a new area appears in the North. There is a new air base and two new targets. The same thing happens when the two Northern targets are hit, a new area appears in the south. When the four targets in the center are destroyed, the airbase is captured and switches sides. The same thing happens when the new targets in the North and South expansion areas are destroyed. The airbase switch sides 30 seconds after the targets are destroyed. Final victory is achieved by destroying the enemy HQ. To get the HQ to light up as a target , you have to have destroyed all other targets and completed the recon. The recon can be done at any time in the session. It does not give any secondary target like in FiF. It merely puts an X in the recon area to show it has been done. We will offer these as just for fun open missions at the usual FiF times. These are some maps to show how targets are designated and how the expansion looks. Map at start Map showing expansion in the North. Report
November 17, 201510 yr comment_18059 Will the server have the mission up until then? And is the plane set the same throughout? (meaning not like last FIF with early and late model planes)My semester ends on the fourteenth (of January) and how they schedule everything it was scheduled to end the 18th (of December) So I may miss the first two sessions, hopefully not.

November 23, 201510 yr comment_18142 Hi All, This coming Wednesday (November 25th) will be the first run of the dynamic scenario missions created by Butzzell. These will be run every Wednesday on the JG1 server until FIF starts up again in January. If they're successful, we'll also run them on Saturdays (probably on the J99 server). Hope to see you online!
