Bloody April
The mission planner from each side must E-Mail Stenka with position of baloons (must be near front line) and how many of what type of planes he wants on which airbase by 23:59 Saturday or send mission extract files.
Note planes will be planned with 100% Fuel but it is not reliable you may get 0% fuel and an early bath. Loadouts are not locked.
It is the responsability of each and every pilot to check their loadouts before hitting fly. Yes that means fuel bombs and ammo.
Skins will be enabled on serverunless we run in to performance problems. We have reached up to 38 players. With extended lineup times and disconnects, anything we can do to reduce client memory problems and launch network traffic reduces problems.
Central players log into the Hun TS Channel, Entente the Gits channel. Maintain silence once game is launched. Squad Admin officers setup whisper to enemy channel so we can discuss launch & tech problems.
Once mission is launched there are no voice communications, no chat/text
communications and no image communications.
Punctuality
Dog server available 20:30 CET to test your plane/connection/settings Lineup 21:00 CET where each side give verbal briefing on TS Launch 21:30 CET

Policy is planes must land on right side of lines by 90 minutes or be lost.
If you are shot down or killed you must stay connected until plane hits ground. Disconnects without landing after 60 minutes mean the plane is lost. Other disconnects may be investigated by admin.
Only admin are allowed to record during mission. It can cause lag.
Only admin are allowed to open mission files in editor or refly missions for test purposes. Remember real recon is of major importance and the campaign becomes meaningless if you peek at the map in an editor. Both sides have copies of a pracice dogfight on the real map without recon objects so if you want a copy to practice on just ask.
Scoring
On the active airfields I will place one quad in each of 7 hangers. If this is destroyed we can count the bombing damage.
On the factories I will place one special ground object in each of 2 buildings
Server settings:
Externals off, all difficult stuff switched on
Downed, landed or killed pilots can join bombers as gunners.

Note very carefully that ROF declares planes unservicable for relatively superficial damage and if you screw your engine by overheating or overcooling it is out of the battle for at least 2 days while it's stripped and rebuilt.
Special mission Bridge...................250 + 2 mc Gun
Use throttle, radiator and mixture with care. Long descents need closed radiator.
Points awarded for photo (screenshot) sent to admin e-mail night of mission

HQ......................800
Photos are only allowed from 2 Seaters
Points awarded for photo and destroy in same mission HQ......................1000
Yes you get no extra points for destroying HQ on finding it and it will move away.
The optimum way of treating a HQ is to photo recon then return to attack it next mission. That way you can get 1800 points - but it may be defended.

Hangars respawn
Airfield flak respawns
Baloons respawn 4xsidexmission till all used HQ and trains respawn
Factory respawn Bridges respawn
The objective of the rules and points system is to provide competitive varied gameplay for as many competitors as possible. They may be adjusted during the campaign by the admin comittee who treat all complaints.
Rules must be simple and the same for both sides.
The admin comittee is made up of the administrator for 69.GIAP+ the administrator LvA
Administrators have confidential access to the mission file, can not participate in definition of plans/tactics or strategy, can not submit recon photos, but can fly under the leadership of others.
