Olham 164 Posted May 28, 2014 Hi all!Some time ago in OFF, forum member "Siggi" thought out the "DiD Campaign", and it was a great success.I would like to take the idea up again: flying a campaign with the bias on survival much rather than quickcollection of victories and an early demise.In my holidays I have spent quite some time with working out the basic rules, and I had the idea fora better overall valuation system.The Entente flyers are crossing the lines very often, while the German scouts hardly ever did so.So I found that it is much harder for Entente flyers to survive or remain uncaptured.My new valuation system will take care of that.Also, in Siggi's DiD Campaign, it was all mostly about scouts, and they operated in fixed units.In my new version, you could fly two-seaters all the time, or transfer at any point to any unit.So you could fly in any area of the Western Front - in hot spots or in quiet zones.Flying in hotspot zones will be valuated higher than flying in quiet areas. That should make theoverall valuation as fair as possible, and allow each pilot to fly after his own temper and likes.There will be a weekly chart showing all active flyers, as well as a chart with the best of thefallen pilots of each member; but the main goal is to survive as long as possible, and the perfectachievement would be to survive the whole war.Now I'd like to know if there is a wider interest in this revival?I know that the summer holidays are coming soon, but don't panic, there will still be plenty oftime to catch up with it all, and I honestly don't expect, that anyone will survive even one year.(Maybe some of you will prove me wrong).If there is a wider interest, I will complete my rules and ideas, and post them as a PDF file soon.

Adger 86 Posted May 28, 2014 I really like the idea of it Olham,survival to me as always been the main appeal since playing WOFF,ive learnt a lot since flying OFF p2 and Then P3 and HITR,and ive come to realize that survival comes first,victories and medals second.Keep me informed Pal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maeran 20 Posted May 28, 2014 Yes, that is an interesting idea. I'm curious to see what you come up with for balancing quiet and active periods/regions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted May 29, 2014 Shredward is so kind to help me with a rough zoning for the Western Front, into "Hotspots", "Medium Activity" and "Quiet Zones". We will use it for the valuation of each flier's points. When the chart is ready, I'll post it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shredward 12 Posted May 30, 2014 Hallo Olham! The chart looks great - no tweaks needed Yes, I'm up here working, but I do refer to it as my Arctic holiday - the land is gorgeous. We have 24 hours of daylight right now, and spring has broken out. Cheers Shredward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) I wonder how spring may be looking in the Arctic - daisies growing on icebergs? I need a lot of sleep (9 hours) and wonder, how I would feel with 24 hours daylight. Might be a good cure for sleepyness? Thanks for your assistance, Shredward. I was wondering if I should perhaps change the Verdun months in 1916 to "hotspot" instead of "medium"? Wasn't the Battle of Verdun until December? Or was there still only medium air activity?

Olham 164 Posted June 3, 2014 I had thought of Saturday, 7 June - but I'd like to hear more thoughts on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrGoTime 20 Posted June 4, 2014 I'm a brand new WOFF pilot (just got it in the last month, and haven't given it much time yet...been WW2-ing it up in IL-2)...but I am definitely in. I'm not 100% sure how it all works, but I'll review the rules thread and get squared away. Count me in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
